The Design

About Avant Bainugelako Altzariak

Avant, zintzilik dauden altzarien bilduma bat da, diseinu garaikide eta aldi guztietan ederra duena, forma laukizuzenaren sinpletasuna goresten duena. Erliebezko perimetro-marko sendo eta minimalista batek zintzilik dauden altzarien profila inguratzen du. Aurrealdeak muntatzen dira aluminio eskuilatuko profil esklusibo bati esker, bildumaren ezaugarri bereizgarria dena, gaineko eta/edo beiraren lodiera desberdinak batzeko aukera ematen duena, erlazio asimetriko eta orekatua sortuz. Ikustea eta ukitzea erlazio dialektikoan bizikidetzan dira, forman eta materialen bidezko konposizio sentsorial anizkoitzean.

Production Technology
This design is developed with ergonomic standards and 3D creation processes. Always after an exhaustive creative process of sketches and models, working on the colors and textures with collaborating suppliers of our studio. Market analysis and previous products showed us the way to follow in this design that is incorporated into an extensive program of washbasins and container elements for the firm Akua belonging to Grupo Bono. The design is developed with sustainable materials such as chipboard and MDF. The construction process is developed in the Grupo Bono factory, which has the highest production technology in the furniture manufacturing industry.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge is to find the perfect balance between aesthetics, form, materials and technologies, with an adjusted manufacturing cost price. Considering that our client is part of a medium segment with high production and turnover. High visual impact + maximum functionality // High productivity + low cost.
Research
Extensive market research conducted by our client, as well as historical knowledge of the actual needs of users, provides us with information to place the product in the right range. Different analyses of trends in the habitat sector give us enough information to determine which range of colours and materials we should select. Our cultural background and accumulated experience in the design of home furnishings mark the formal lines of our design.
Inspiration
Two concepts: the play of volumes and transparencies, plus the combination of materials. The inspiration comes from the contrast of lacquered unicolor surfaces against textures such as stones or wood with their natural imperfections, as well as the integrated solid surface washbasin and smoked glass. Complex vs. simple... Uniqueness for plurality..., to create a concept of bathroom furniture that is unique for the majority of users, where it can combine harmoniously with the rest of the elements
Project Duration
This Project started in Valencia (SPAIN) in June 2023 and is currently in the last phase of completion.
Operation Flow
The furniture in the Avant collection is simple to use. Doors and drawers open with cushioned closure.
The Avant mirror has a rotation and approach system for the magnifying lens, practicable by hand.
