Student Week: PYNE Hand Wash

If these past two years have taught us anything besides always keeping a stash of toilet paper at our homes, it's that handsoap needs to be an integral part of our daily routine.

PYNE is a conceptual brand of handsoap inspired by the shape of pinecones, and each scent of the line takes inspiration from pine. Further inspired by the plant, the soap is designed to be a refill packaging system, so once the product is finished, the user simply refills it with supplied "seeds" and then mixes it with water.

This packaging design by Ömer Taha Döver inspired by the environment; it also ensures that we are doing everything we can as consumers to protect it. A gorgeous concept in both creativity and execution.

PYNE Hand Wash is a conceptual brand of refillable liquid hand soaps inspired by pinecones. The line consists of three scent profiles: original, antibac, and intense limited edition. Each profile has a different character yet all are based on notes of pine, and along with the form of the bottles, the whole experience is a translation of the entity that is pinecone. The user refills the bottles by cracking "refill seeds" into the bottles and mixing with water. The seeds are pods made of recycled paper that are filled with the product in powder form and come arranged in rings of 12, resembling the scales of a pinecone.
