Designed to encourage healthy dental habits from an early age, SAFARI Dental Flossers focus on ease of use and simplicity, while providing an appropriate visual aesthetic.
Early versions of the Safari flosser necessitated running the floss along a canal within the device itself. This would later be simplified, as ease of use was a key element for this product. — Ideation & Development Early sketches explored a variety of dental care areas, but I soon decided to focus on flossing. This, in turn, evolved into developing a variety of fun forms to package the same product.
I was particularly intrigued by the idea of a partially or totally automated tooth-cleaning solution, exploring various forms and ideas in my initial sketches.
Once I had narrowed my focus to the realm of flossing, I put a fair amount of research into effective methods of floss thread storage and management, presently devising a universal internal mechanism as a result. From there it was simply a matter of coming up with engaging exterior visuals to satisfy the target market.
