The project began with a simple but pressing question: how can everyday hygiene products exist without generating disposable packaging? Developed with a young startup exploring circular care systems, the work focuses on a reusable container designed to remain in circulation over time. Rather than approaching packaging as a temporary shell, the object is conceived as a durable instrument, meant to be kept, handled and repeatedly refilled.

The container, holding between 300 and 500 millilitres, is built from a mono-material silicone structure derived from silica. Chosen for its resilience, tactile qualities and ability to withstand repeated sterilisation, the material defines both function and perception. Elastic zones regulate dispensing while more stable sections structure the grip. The object operates without complex mechanisms, relying on gravity and controlled flow through an off-centre opening.

For the bureau, the project opens a broader reflection on the role of objects within circular systems. It suggests a shift from disposable packaging toward containers that remain present over time. The prototype continues to be developed with manufacturing partners, as part of an ongoing exploration into reusable infrastructures for everyday products.
