Your shop has beautiful things. Essey belongs among them.
Some products need explaining. Essey doesn’t.
Bin Bin looks like crumpled paper. Wipy looks like the tissue it holds. Illusion looks like a tablecloth floating in mid-air.
You see them. You get them. That is Essey.
Design that literally shows you what it is. And that simple idea has turned everyday objects into design icons.
Not just products. Icons people notice.
For more than 20 years, Essey objects have been stopping people in their tracks. They are playful without being childish. Clever without trying too hard. Functional without ever looking ordinary.
Age, style or social group hardly matters — people notice them. They look. They smile. They touch them. They ask about them. And that is exactly what a great retail product should do.
Essey doesn’t disappear into a beautiful store. It gives people a reason to stop.
Design with a pedigree
Essey belongs in the world of serious design — while never taking itself too seriously.
The Illusion table was selected for the MoMA Permanent Collection in New York and is sold through the MoMA Design Store. Essey designs are represented in international design collections and have received some of the industry’s most recognised awards, including Red Dot 2006, iF Design 2006 and Good Design Award 2005.
Not bad for a waste bin, a tissue box and a tablecloth that forgot the table.
Why Essey works in retail
- Because it is difficult to walk past.
- Because the idea is understood in seconds.
- Because it creates conversation.
- Because customers remember it.
- And because very few brands can turn something as ordinary as waste paper, a tissue or a tablecloth into the entire identity of a product.
That is what Essey calls Symbolic Functionalism.
We simply call it good design.
