PINE TOOTHPICK is a toothpick design inspired by pine needles. In Chinese culture, the pine tree carries profound and timeless significance, symbolizing unyielding integrity, sincerity in welcoming guests, and its fresh fragrance evokes a sense of purity. We designed green, pine needle-shaped toothpicks to break away from the mundane appearance of ordinary toothpicks, evoking a sense of vitality, naturalness, and delight. Made from HIP (High Impact Polystyrene), it mimics the natural curve of real pine needles, reflecting the resilience of pine. A subtle pine scent and lifelike texture restore the essence of nature. The paper packaging box is shaped to imitate the curvature of a pine branch. When you pull open the drawer, the arrangement resembles a cluster of pine needles, revealing the green, needle-like toothpicks inside.
