The picture shows the collection of products in The Nature's Touch, including an organizer, a bathmat, two soap boxes, and a towel rack. The round soap box is placed on the far left, with a white round soap on top. It has a drainage groove to drain the soap water. To its right is a rectangular cork bathmat with a wavy pattern. Several products are placed above the bathmat. The one closest to the audience is a rectilinear soap box with a yellow rectangular soap in the middle. Behind the square soap box is an organizer. It has four slots of varying widths, dividing the undulating top surface into slices that resemble mountain shapes. At the very back is a towel rack. Three blocks of different thicknesses are separated from the main body, using grooves to become freely sliding and rotating brackets to hold towels.
This image shows all the products included in the bathroom set. Every product is made of cork, which has outstanding sustainability and environmental values. Cork can be harvested without cutting down trees and recycled after use. Cork oak woodlands also significantly contribute to local ecosystems’ natural carbon storage.
