Hideaki Matsui designed these soaps for his senior thesis at Parsons School of Design. They’re purposely made to look like land mines in order to draw attention to a good cause. Matsui donates 25 percent of the retail price directly to organizations that remove land mines and provide survivor assistance. Buyers get their choice of coconut or rosemary-mint all-natural soap that, with use, diminishes and disappears which, according to the designer, is a “metaphor showing that if people support this cause, they will contribute to cleansing the earth of the land mines.”
