About Valet مجموعه برس توالت فرنگی
Valet به همان اندازه که خوب به نظر می رسد سخت کار می کند. Valet که از نظر بهداشتی می تواند به طور منظم و آسان تمیز شود، یک برس توالت همه کاره و ذخیره سازی رول اضافی در یک واحد باریک و بدون عارضه است. Valet اولین در نوع خود در بازار است، کاربردی بودن و طیف وسیعی از پرداخت ها برای انطباق با هر حمام. این برس از سیلیکون ضد میکروبی ساخته شده و دارای موهای کوتاه است که به آن اجازه می دهد به طور موثر تمیز شود و خشک شود. برس به طور مرتب در آستین نگهداری می شود. آستین به یک فنجان پایین قابل جابجایی تخلیه می شود که می تواند برای تمیز کردن آسان و موثر با شستشو در یک لگن دستی جدا شود.

- Unique Properties
- Valet is an all-in-one wall mounted toilet brush and additional roll holder. Designed specifically to fill a gap in the market, Valet is eminently functional yet elegantly uncomplicated, and visually harmonises with existing bathroom decor. The brush is stored in a sleeve which drains into a bottom cup. The bottom cup can be easily removed and rinsed in a hand basin, encouraging regular and effective cleaning. Additional rolls to be stored over the sleeve, closer to the toilet pan.

- toilet brush, valet, hygienic, toilet paper roll, sanitary ware, bathroom
- Production Technology
- The brush bristles and stem are made from silicone, selected for its anti-microbial properties, cleaning chemical resistance, and durability. The bottom cup shown here is translucent ABS plastic. The storage sleeve is hygienic stainless steel. The wall bracket and handle are brass. The whole brush can be customised with a range of typical sanitaryware finishes such as various powder coated colours, brushed brass, nickel, or chrome.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenges were: 1) Housing a brush within a sleeve that was altogether slim enough to store additional toilet rolls. Remaining operational as a brush without displacement of the stored rolls. 2) Making the device easy to clean while retaining its elegance. The result is a slim and uncomplicated combination of detachable parts made from carefully chosen materials such as silicone and stainless steel.
- Research
- Valet is a response to a gap in the market for a toilet brush that is easy to clean and hygienic coupled with the functionality of additional roll storage, recognised by architect Tom Doull through domestic design practice. Product design began as drawings and digital models and progressed through a process of 3D printed prototyping and domestic situational testing. Data was collected from these and the product further refined to reflect prevailing feedback to produce the final result.
- Inspiration
- The idea came over 10 years ago when designing residential bathrooms and exploring the vast world of sanitaryware only to find that when it came to toilet brushes the offerings were either uncomplimentary to the rest of the bathroom fixtures or at best expensive and difficult to clean.
- Project Duration
- Valet is a new product designed and developed in Australia. Originally conceived more than 10 years ago it was not until Architect Tom meet with Engineer Michael in 2021 that the Valet started to take shape. Development and testing progressed over the following year to arrive at the current resolution.
- Operation Flow
- The brush is made from anti-microbial silicone and has short bristles, allowing it to clean effectively and tap dry. The brush is stored neatly in a sleeve. The sleeve drains into a removable bottom cup which can be detached for easy and effective cleaning by rinsing in a hand basin. Additional rolls can be stored over the sleeve. The unique slimline design allows the brush to be withdrawn from the sleeve and used without disrupting the rolls.
