About Touch Destşokan

Touch destşokêkê ye ku ji bo bikaranîna herdu mezinan bi hev re, di heman demê de, hatiye sêwirandin. Kaseya yekane xwedan şêwazek peykertaşî û herikbar e ku li gorî tevgera avê hatiye çêkirin. Touch 1250 mm dirêjahî, 450 mm kûrahî û 150 mm bilindahî ye. Lingên yekbûyî yên li piştê rê didin destşokê ku bi tena serê xwe raweste. Touch ji keramîka fire clay ya nazik hatiye hilberandin û bi glazeyeke nerm û ne-şitêl ya ku bi hêsanî tê paqijkirin hatiye xemilandin. Ev şêwaz nêzîkbûn û hevgirtinê nîşan dide, û amûrek naskirî ya serşokê vediguherîne tiştekî xwedan nirxa estetîk.

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.
