Three mundane products– bandaids, tissues, and matches– re-imagined for poetry lovers. These often boring objects incorporate poetry into their packaging, allowing users to read new lines of poetry every time they reach for them. This addition retains the product’s functionality while making it unique and fun to use.

This project incorporates poems by 2007-2008 U.S. Poet Laureate Charles Simic. Each product responds to the theme and contents of the associated poem.

Objectives / Make everyday objects more appealing by pairing them with an experience while retaining functionality.
