A petite project designed for their newest product at Japanese-Taiwanese hybrid "英慧國際文具". I received prototypes of the made-in-Japan product "抗菌勾勾手" before starting the design, and was surprised by how light-weight and versatile a little piece of plastic can be.
I used it to grab hold of handles on public transportations, press elevator buttons, open public doors (with ALL kinds of handles)... and hold my shopping bags together!


The fact that "抗菌勾勾手" is infused with Ag+ in its plastic body enhances its antibacterial abilities. And I was rest assured knowing that not only was I not in contact with any public surfaces when I'm out, but also the plastic itself does not allow microbes to adhere to it that easily. (Embrace my germaphobe self.)
Such a convenient and thoughtful thingy to carry around during the pandemic era. Here's what it looks like (can't help taking some photographs):
