Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The product was designed with the aim of creating a simple, elegant device for bathroom, hallway and other spaces needed in light, heat and hanging. It designed to be used in small spaces and meant to look as simple as possible but to be still the most multifunctional. It stands out in the space with its simple design and diverse function - lighting, warming, holding, charging and reflecting.
- Inspiration
- Designing interiors in the modern trends we go from the concept of creating a comfortable, free-breathing space, released from the bunch of things, leading to serenity with maximum functionality. Driven by the desire to minimize the number of devices in the bathroom, we want to empty space for the soul, meditation, surrounding ourselves with objects of art by created utilitarian devices that combine "many in one".
- Research
