The Toro Tissue Ring is probably one of the more misunderstood, though genius products out there.

The concept is really simple: remove your tissues from that 'decorator pattern' Kleenex box and lay them neatly on the counter. Place the Toro Tissue Ring on top and pull each tissue through it.

The ring replaces the box and compliments most modern interiors. The idea is quite revolutionary, albeit simple.

This is a brilliant piece that sets the bar for modern interior decorating that's useful and simple.

One of the first lessons in class is patience! This Toro Tissue Ring is a classy way to display your tissue paper! Pulled one at a time through the ring it each tissue separated from the bunch like the lining of a Kleenex box would!

Much better than an ordinary paper box dispenser.

This looks cool but I don't know if it really works. The copy reads, "Just set the stainless steel ring on a stack of your favorite tissues and pull the top tissue through".

The Vessel Toro Tissue Ring is a simple ultra-hygienic stainless steel ring that replaces the boring tissue box. Simply remove the stack of tissues from the tissue box, place the Toro ring on top and pull one tissue through the hole. The Toro acts as a paperweight and has a carefully-engineered balance of weight and size to only allow one tissue to be pulled through at a time. Cool idea as far as tissue box minimalism goes.

just like it and have seen it before (via loft3)

Toro is an alternative to the ubiquitous floral-print cardboard tissue box. The ring’s simplicity is actually the result of a carefully-engineered balance of weight and size; just right to let one tissue through at a time while staying firmly planted on the stack.
