There are many contraptions and concepts for toilet paper, but until I stumbled upon 'Day Re,' I never considered recycling the toilet paper core. What makes it less useful than its fluffy counterpart?
Designer Kim Ji-eun put that question to the test when devising the 'Day Re' toilet paper core memo pad. 'Day Re' is essentially a sticker that fixes onto an unrolled core, creating useful note pads for everyday use. Pretty neat, right?
