Toothbrush

FLIPPER, a quirky yet innovatively func tional toothbrush protector cum holder by design house ORCA, now has three new design series to join their existing Animo Jr. range – the BIG EYE, OZY Joy and MIRA.

The range offers a unique and global ly patented one-touch mechanism that flips open and flips shut automatically in response to the gentle tug or push of the toothbrush.

While the toothbrush is in Flipper’s protective case, it is protected from airborne germs and disease causing bacteria as well as occasional bathroom visitors such as geckos and insects. Intuitive and convenient, Flipper is the perfect companion to the daily brushing ritual, and will enliven any bathroom design with its variety and charm; while encouraging even the most toothbrush-disliking child to brush more often.

Since its introduction, Flipper has gone on to gain worldwide acceptance including snagging design awards such as the Germany’s Reddot Design Award, the Singapore Design Award and Malay sian Good Design Award among others.

In conjunction with the introduction of the three new designer series, Flip per will be hosting a product show case entitled ‘It’s Tick-Tack Time!’ at 2nd Floor Oval, 1 Utama Shopping Centre from now to Sunday, Sept 5.

The exclusive sole distributor of ORCA Flipper Living Wing Sdn Bhd Busi ness Development Director, Terence Lee said that a free, special edition OZY Spring Breeze Flipper will be given out to shoppers who spend at least RM50 (or RM30 for ONECARD member) at the road show.
