Ok, yes, I understand these two used tootbrushes may look a bit shocking in here but... yes, they were designed by André Ricard and are least one of them is an amazing design.

The red one I bought sometime in the mid 1980s... I remember I started to be "design concerned" at the moment, having started my studies in Art and so on. Well, I didn't choose it, not even the colour. It was given to me by my pharmacist, and I quite liked it when I saw it: tose straight lines were pretty new at the time. Then I also enjoyed it as it was nice to handle... a really good toothbrush! Then I had to buy a new one but this I didn't throw away, so it spent " several" years in a glass mug my mother uses to keep old toothbrushes, those you never know who they belong to (we're four siblings plus my parents, which means lots of toothbrushes at home). I guess that it was five years ago I sawthis toothbrush in a book about Ricard's work and I regreted not having kept mine... Once at my parents I looked at the mug and thought "perhaps they still keep it"... and there it was!!! Woow! Who else has got something like that in his Ricard collection?

Sort of two years after i got another book on Spanish design and I saw another design for a toothbrush on the pages dedicated to Ricard, not such a good design but still a Ricard's design I would like to have in my collection, so I thought "who knows, maybe I can find it at Mum's and Dad's too"... and of course, ther it was!!! I don't know who used to own it but... he/she is family after all! LOL

I told you: Ricard designed almost anything!!!
