Tone becomes a Core77 Design Award Honoree

It’s always a privilege to work on projects that shine a light on sectors that are underserved by design. It’s here where intelligent and considered design thinking can have a life changing impact – and incontinence is one of those areas.

Releaf Freedom is a portable urinal that makes life more comfortable and less stressful for the estimated 423 million people who suffer daily from urinary incontinence, with a particular focus on those who are less able. Unlike its fully disposable competitors, we designed Releaf Freedom with a unique and patent pending mechanism which enables the handle to be re-used and the bags detached for hygienic disposal.

This project was a real team effort it’s great to see the project awarded a runner-up prize alongside the winning entry from Philips. Congratulations Keith Binding, Sarah Leather and the Tone Product Design team.
