Clever Designs from Catherine Werdel

By Rain Noe - June 20, 2011

I'm highly impressed by the number of well-thought-out concepts on Hamburg-based designer Catherine Werdel's site. Her slotted toothbrush not only provides a place for it to rest when not in use, but helps you get that last drop of "Ooo-med:"

A project she did for Brita takes into account that many of us apartment-dwellers have tiny sinks that make it impossible to vertically fill their containers:

And her Umschlagbar umbrella neatly wraps into one of its own sections, differently colored so you know which one it is.

The toothbrush would work if you don't mind licking the end of the tube! Alternatively just roll the tube! It's a non-problem.

Some really nice concepts there.

My only question: would you not need to use 2 toothbrushes? 1 to help you get out the last drop of toothpaste and one to actually collect the toothpaste that you have just squeezed out?

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
