About Touch Fikasan'ny Fanasan-tanana

Ny Touch dia fanasan-tanana natao mba hampiasan'olona roa ara-panahy amin'ny fotoana iray ihany. Ny lovia tokana dia manana endrika sarintsariny sady milamina izay manaraka ny fihetsiky ny rano. Ny Touch dia mirefy 1250 mm ny lavany, 450 mm ny halaliny, ary 150 mm ny hahavony. Ny tongotra miendrika mifamatotra eo aoriana dia mamela ny fanasan-tanana hijoro irery. Ny Touch dia vokarina amin'ny tavim-bakoka fire clay tsara vita, ary voatohana amin'ny fitaovana malama sady tsy mamikitra izay mora diovina. Ny endriny dia maneho ny fifandraisana sy ny firaisankina, ka mampiova ireo fitaovana fanasana mahazatra ho zavakanto miendrika tsara.

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.

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.

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