Kontextür Tissue Box Cover in Dutch Orange
$38.00
The Kontextür Tissue Box Cover is an understated yet potent antidote to the potpourri of ubiquitous kitsch and oft-smudged metallic ones dominating the category. This thoughtful new design redirects the tissue box from its typical role, hidden away from view, and celebrates its function by turning it into an objet d'art. The iconic factory silhouette with its smokestack-like extension at the top serving as the opening for the tissues creates a strong visual interplay between the shapes, colors and materials. What’s more, the tissues dispense like a dream.
According to Owens when asked about his approach to design “ To quote one of my favorite musicians, Michael Franti: ‘I am deadly serious about us having fun.’ And my concept for the Tissue Box Cover is an exact expression of that sentiment. The visual and tactile softness of the form combine with the material in a way that suggests a gentle object. While the bold colors make it pop.”

Kontextür x3 Watering Can - Red
$49.00
Inspired by the bold yet minimal and functionalist aesthetic of Eastern European motorcycles - the x3 uses industrial steel to elevate the often-overlooked household watering can to an object of conspicuous utilitarian beauty.
Designer Paul Loebach said, ”I’m interested in creating products that are well-suited for our social climate - simple and highly functional objects with a new look and timeless appeal, that can be offered to the broadest possible range of end users at a good price.”
According to Kontextür founder, Kenneth Schiller, “I was a big fan of Paul’s work before we had a chance to meet. In my opinion, he is a master craftsman who is passionate about every detail. There is always an undeniable truth anchoring his designs that shines through whether it’s a $30,000 museum quality piece or a great little $85 lamp. He is the ultimate traditional modernist. It’s about Paul doing his thing, and that’s very special. On a day when I was visiting Paul’s studio to see concepts for an upcoming collection of bath objects, I saw three paper models of the watering can. Little did he know, I have an undeniable affection for watering cans. It
was love at first sight. The x3 is the perfect piece to transition Kontextür into the broader world of home because it’s very much in keeping with the overall mission of our company: to offer clever, unexpected, great-looking products. Also, with x3 we are still working with water.”
The x3 Watering Can derives its name from its method of manufacture. It’s made using a single metal tube, bent three times (X-3), to create both the handle and the pour spout. The tube is then soldered into a metal can, which holds the water. An inlet is positioned on top providing an easy place to pour in water from the kitchen faucet. Like traditional watering cans with two handles, the x3 handle allows the can to be held in two positions - on top for carrying a full container of water, and at the side for pouring.

Kontextür Duck Harry in Yellow
$32.00
Kontextür has a penchant for taking seemingly ordinary and passé items and making them relevant and extraordinary. Teaming up once again with Icelandic designer Atlason, this time to reinvent the fallen but classic Rubber Ducky in the signature Kontextür way. Duck Harry is a cheeky and truly contemporary (and lead free) homage to this iconic bath denizen.
Made from super durable silicone, with a velvety matte finish, Harry by presence and weight has a good deal of heft. When it comes to function, besides perking up the bath or any other space that needs a little pop, this Duck is very versatile. It can serve as a toothbrush or toothpaste tube holder, a doorstop or a paperweight. Harry can do almost anything...except float!
Atlason gave a little insight into his process, “The design is essentially an exercise in geometric shapes. Where the bottom oval is exactly twice the dimension of the head and the tail and beak are the same shape, rotated. Yet, within all this geometry there is a surprisingly cute expression with which we connect.”
