Highly functional and useful, the screw hasn’t changed much throughout the years. Because it’s such a ubiquitous household item, Studio Yumakano wanted to add the joy of discovery to the screw with a smile. By adding this fun touch, the screw is transformed from a normal, everyday item to something that brings joy to the discoverer.
