The Design

About Versus Tualete

Mūsu dzīve ir nebeidzams prieka un komforta meklēšana. Ikviens no mums cenšas atrast vislabāko līdzsvaru starp funkcionalitāti un dizainu, un, ja mēs vēlamies, lai produkts būtu ekonomisks, tas vēl vairāk apgrūtina. Ar savu cieši saistīto wc es centos atrast tieši šo līdzsvaru. Tas apvieno jaunas pieejas un tehnoloģijas efektivitātes paaugstināšanai, ūdens un materiālu taupīšanai, un vienlaikus visas šīs labās lietas ir paslēptas zem treknrakstā monolīta un ekstravaganta dizaina.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Extravagant design combined with higher efficiency and economy
Dimensions & Packaging: Length - 400mm, Projection - 775mm, Height - 790mm
Tags: Versus, V-shape, Close-Coupled, WC, Toilet, Black, Red, Extravagant, Bathroom
Production Technology: Live tests will allow us to understand which material will be better - Ceramic or Acrylic. Maybe other materials will be tested too.
Design Challenge: Maintain the original V-shape during technical and ergonomic transformations.
Research: During the CAD build a lot of fluid analysis were studied, a specialist was asked for consultancy.
Inspiration: The very first idea was to create something that has shape of the first letter of my name - V (the profile of the wc and the shape of internal tank). It was eventually changed because of functional reasons.
Project Duration: Almost one year, location - Bulgaria, Europe
Operation Flow: This close-coupled WC have tilted tank which allows the water to flush out easily than traditional 90 deg tanks. This modification increases the velocity, presure and force of the water. The WC also have 3 flush volumes which allow to use water more efficient.
The puzzle type seat and cover allow to reduce unnecessary overlaping which saves material.
