About Touch Beisín Nighe

Is beisín nighe é Touch atá deartha do bheirt fhásta a úsáid ag an am céanna. Tá cruth dealbhóireachta agus sreabhach ag an mbeisín aonair, cruth a leanann gluaiseacht an uisce. Tá Touch 1250 mm ar fad, 450 mm ar doimhneacht agus 150 mm ar airde. Ligeann cosa comhtháite ar an gcúl don bheisín seasamh leis féin. Déantar Touch as créchriaidh dea-dhóite agus tá críoch mhín neamh-ghreamaitheach air atá éasca le glanadh. Léiríonn an cruth dlúthchaidreamh agus aontacht, ag athrú feiste tíosach seomra folctha ina réad aeistéitiúil.

Design Challenge: Semiotic science determines the colors, forms, light-shadows that the designers will use in design; He created designs with information based on the knowledge of balance and harmony created with colors, forms, light and shadows that trigger the subconscious patterns that humanity has acquired for centuries. In this way, they will create the necessary effect in the target audience and create the necessary emotion for the product to be marketed. This poses a great challenge for creativity.
Research: Easy to clean, modernism, functionalism and minimalism are on the rise in all consumer groups. However, the purpose of this design is to reflect the emotions and meanings on the form. As it is known in the signs, the denotation – emerges when the signified is perceived as it is objectively. Connotation is the implied meaning. Although the Touch washbasin is used as a washbasin for two, it is designed to express the bond, passion and togetherness between two people.
Inspiration: We are drawn to each other by love. Our shields drop, we experience excitement and a sense of oneness. We melt into each other.

The sink concept is now turning into an aesthetic object rather than a functionality.
