TUC x Ana Roy Kliin Reusable Cleaning Cloth | Clouds
Our brand new Kliin is a collaboration with Montreal based artist Anabel Roy (aka Ana Roy).
The artist was inspired by elements of air and water when designing this illustration. Ana says that clouds remind us that everything is ephemeral; the only thing we can do is recognize their presence and watch them pass by. She was hesitant about adding rain, thinking that it might be received as something pejorative, but she stuck with her idea—and we thank her for it. Rain, like sadness, is a part of life. When it rains, it may not be a sunset, but it’s not the end of the world either.
Sometimes it rains, sometimes we cry, so what?
The truth is, this bottle caught us off guard. But once we opened our minds to Ana's concept and process, we agreed to step outside our comfort zone and produce the bottle with this illustration that might seem sad. The end result is an everyday object that can help us weather the stormy days a little bit better. Thank you, Ana.
