Notes from the Archive: Dr. Kleen was from a series of wry dental hygiene products for the bathroom Starck designed for Alessi in 1998, all with the medical title in their name, including Dr. Kiss (toothbrush and holder), Dr. Cheese, and Dr. Spoon.  Starck continued naming products with Dr. in the title including Dr. Skud (flyswatter) for Alessi, and furniture products including Dr. No and Dr. Glob. These continued Starck's penchant for applying beautiful design to the most mundane everyday objects.
