We see tissue boxes all the time. And yet when itfs bent it looks completely different. The Folio is a simple tissue case thatfs bent at a right angle. If you just use it as it is, itfs more compact than a normal tissue box. Because it has two openings, if you position it on its side you can take out tissues from either side. And what about sticking it in a corner? Changing the things we always have with us in our homes can really be refreshing. I hope youfll find a way to use the Folio that will fit your home.
