About Danuna Washbasin 2in1
The idea of no visible tap and siphon, which can be easily integrated into the cabinet, became the main source of inspiration for the creation of the washbasin. Danuna has a special furniture ability, giving comfort to ordinary cold plumbing. The finish of the handles is reminiscent of a stereo acoustic system, and the electronic detector can be connected to a conventional electrical network or to a lithium battery, ensuring minimal power consumption in both cases. The finishes and metal options are wide, and give the interior designer the most diverse and surprising possibilities.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- In the world of modern plumbing, people are accustomed to being able to operate a bathroom without a wall-mounted faucet. The main idea is to integrate the faucet (in its classical sense) into the washbasin. This creates extra space. It's practical. Simple and convenient control of the device without thinking how the sound volume.
- Inspiration
- The main source of inspiration was the lack of a visible faucet. Danuna is a new look at plumbing. It is a combination of the properties of a shower drain and a concealed faucet. This is a 2 in 1 washbasin and faucet. And the protruding faucet no longer interferes.
- Research
- For a hundred years of their mass existence, mixers have firmly entrenched themselves in people's lives. And no matter how the design changes, all mixers look about the same. Danuna's design is a completely new look at plumbing. The ideas of a bathtub (no faucet), a shower tray (minimum siphon) and a gear lever (washer) are combined. Minimalism, maximum space and uniqueness. No more hitting your forehead against a faucet.
- Challenge
- The hardest thing about anything new is believing in yourself. Every creative person dreams of giving the World something unique and inimitable.
- Realization and Technology
- A washbasin with a built-in faucet can be made from various materials: marble, porcelain stoneware, lithium marble, sanitary acrylic, stainless steel, plastic, glass and even cast iron. From the bottom, the washbasin is hollow, which provides access to the maintenance of the faucet. The siphon is organized in the same way as the shower drain. It is possible to install a thermostat.
- Operation and Interaction
- Easy to operate, intuitive, concise. The washbasin can be hung on a mirror, in front of a window or on a fresco without the faucet blocking it. The washbasin can be distinguished in the interior of the bathroom, or disguised as much as possible. Built-in mixer reduces splashing. And there it is convenient to quickly wash socks.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project was developed in 2017 in Moscow and participated in the PinWin international competition. In 2021 in Moscow, the project was changed and modernized.
