Production Technology

The production and implementation technology employed in creating the mixers for this project centers around casting technology. Crafted from stainless steel, the mixers are adorned with brushed colors achieved through an advanced PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating process, ensuring a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish.

Design Challenge

The creative challenges in developing the collection encompassed two key aspects. Firstly, addressing the larger size of the shower column, intentionally diverging from traditional dimensions. The exploration of production possibilities aimed at seamlessly integrating a larger tube with the mixer, striking a balance between an industrial aesthetic and universal appeal. Secondly, persuading users to adopt the smaller overhead shower size presented a distinct challenge. Overcoming size-related reservations necessitated a strategic approach, emphasizing unique benefits and design elements.

Research

The research commenced with the conceptualization of the Sila collection, focusing initially on the design of the shower column. The aim was to present a distinctive approach to shower design, emphasizing a departure from conventional norms. The overarching objective was to develop a comprehensive collection adaptable to diverse bathroom settings. The Sila collection caters specifically to individuals aged 35 and above, particularly those collaborating with architects in the meticulous furnishing of their bathrooms. The emphasis on versatility and collaboration underscores the collection's commitment to meeting the preferences of a discerning demographic.

Inspiration

The Silia collection draws inspiration from a fusion of minimalist design and a rich color palette. Its foundation lies in the classic tube, featuring flexible forms and soft contours. Silia surpasses conventional standards through modern design and innovative solutions. In developing the collection, the focus was not only on practicality but also on imparting a stylish, decorative accent to each fitting. The harmonious balance of form and function, along with a diverse range of colors, makes Silia a functional and versatile choice for contemporary spaces.
