The Design

About Danuna Umivalnik 2V1

Ideja o nevidni pipi in sifonu, ki ju je mogoče enostavno vključiti v omarico, je postala glavni vir navdiha za nastanek umivalnika. Danuna ima posebno sposobnost pohištva, ki daje udobje običajnim hladnim vodovodnim napeljavam. Zaključek ročajev spominja na stereo akustični sistem, elektronski detektor pa je mogoče priključiti na klasično električno omrežje ali na litijevo baterijo, kar v obeh primerih zagotavlja minimalno porabo energije. Možnosti zaključkov in kovin so široke in dajejo oblikovalcu notranjosti najrazličnejše in presenetljive možnosti.

Unique Properties: In the world of modern plumbing, people are accustomed to being able to operate a bathroom without a wall-mounted faucet. The main idea is to integrate the faucet (in its classical sense) into the washbasin. This creates extra space. It's practical. Simple and convenient control of the device without thinking how the sound volume.
Dimensions & Packaging: Dimensions: 650 mm x 450 mm x 220 mm
Tags: multifunctional, washbasin, mixer, sanitary, basin, plumbing
Production Technology: A washbasin with a built-in faucet can be made from various materials: marble, porcelain stoneware, lithium marble, sanitary acrylic, stainless steel, plastic, glass and even cast iron. From the bottom, the washbasin is hollow, which provides access to the maintenance of the faucet. The siphon is organized in the same way as the shower drain. It is possible to install a thermostat.
Design Challenge: The hardest thing about anything new is believing in yourself. Every creative person dreams of giving the World something unique and inimitable.
Research: For a hundred years of their mass existence, mixers have firmly entrenched themselves in people's lives. And no matter how the design changes, all mixers look about the same. Danuna's design is a completely new look at plumbing. The ideas of a bathtub (no faucet), a shower tray (minimum siphon) and a gear lever (washer) are combined. Minimalism, maximum space and uniqueness. No more hitting your forehead against a faucet.
Inspiration: The main source of inspiration was the lack of a visible faucet. Danuna is a new look at plumbing. It is a combination of the properties of a shower drain and a concealed faucet. This is a 2 in 1 washbasin and faucet. And the protruding faucet no longer interferes.
Project Duration: The project was developed in 2017 in Moscow and participated in the PinWin international competition.
In 2021 in Moscow, the project was changed and modernized.
Operation Flow: Easy to operate, intuitive, concise. The washbasin can be hung on a mirror, in front of a window or on a fresco without the faucet blocking it. The washbasin can be distinguished in the interior of the bathroom, or disguised as much as possible. Built-in mixer reduces splashing. And there it is convenient to quickly wash socks.
