# Clever Tissue Cartons Kleenex Desktop Companions Bring Delightful Decor to Disposable Products By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-01-05 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kleenex-desktop-companions References: [thedieline](http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2011/12/21/student-spotlight-kleenex-desktop-companion.html) & [chyoon](http://chyoon.com/) Many brands of facial tissues come with some sort of stock ornamentation designed to vaguely match any buyer's interior decor. However, despite efforts to embellish these cardboard boxes, the majority of the patterns and images printed fail to inspire the admiration of some [graphic designers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks). As a creative individual who falls into this category, Chris Yoon endeavored to conceive these [Kleenex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kleenex-branding) Desktop Companions which would better integrate the two primary parts of the expendable object. He began with three different concepts which playfully give an aesthetic function to the two-ply hankies that are dispensed. Three endearing kleenex boxes with inward-angled faces have been illustrated to represent a house, a typewriter and a whale. Respectively, the issued tissues act as chimney smoke, sheets of paper and water spraying from a blowhole. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Decorative Facial Tissue Dispensers:** Designing themed and aesthetically pleasing facial tissue dispensers for home, office and public spaces. - **Functional Companions for Disposable Products:** Creating companion products for disposable items that serve functional purposes. - **Illustrated Product Packaging:** Using illustration to add a playful and creative touch to product packaging. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Household Goods:** Manufacturing decorative tissue dispensers for home use. - **Office Supplies:** Developing themed facial tissue dispensers for office and public spaces. - **Graphic Design:** Providing graphic design services for product packaging illustrations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Tissue Brand Makeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kleenex-branding.md) - [Art Doodle-Collaborative Napkins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-collection.md) - [Stylish Tissue Box Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-cover.md) - [Rice Straw Tissue Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/third-size-tissue-box.md) - [Chic Magnetic Tissue Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tent-acme.md) - [Compressed Toilet Paper Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambox.md) - [Playful Modular Mops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wet-mop.md) - [Beach-Inspired Desk Trios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskterior.md) - [Reimaged Tissue Paper Constructions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-tear.md)
