This project presents a unique, user-focused redesign of the toilet paper holder, originally created to accommodate large rolls (up to 400 sheets) while offering modern functionality like a top shelf for holding personal items such as phones or hygiene products. The design includes an open-ended rod for easy roll replacement and a sleek, minimal aesthetic suitable for home or commercial use.
Building on that foundation, new interactive features are now being developed and tested to further enhance the project. While these features are still in the prototyping phase, they aim to make the product not only functional but also intelligent— setting it apart from standard dispensers/holders and elevating it beyond a simple bathroom fixture. This combination of thoughtful design and embedded technology results in a unique, innovative solution that will be showcased as part of the final project presentation.
