Complex Thoughts
Excel Dryer partnered with the Boston nonprofit organization Artists For Humanity to collaborate on creating the world's coolest hand dryers. Using their proprietary digital image technology, Excel was able to transfer the art created by the artists from Artists For Humanity on to their hand dryer covers. This transformed an industrial commercial product into a piece of art that reflected the mission of Artists For Humanity, blending functionality and creativity to keep their hands hygienic and clean while being an aesthetically pleasing product for their restrooms.
