The unit has incorporated light, it can be positioned differently and rotated. There are two buttons for light: one is for opening the hand, second is for dimmer which allows having different scenarios for different situations. - Design Challenge
- The hand was the most challenging part. I wanted it to be able to fit inside the form in different positions. Especially if it could have a nice night light, but due to technical issues, it didn't work. Another thing was the glass to use for hand. I went through several designs of the past and decided to use a crystal diamond cut made of plastic.
In this project, I wanted to keep the minimum required storage. I was focused on ergonomics and how many things we put near us during sleep. - Research
- The initial problem was a robot vacuum cleaner that can't clean under bedside tables. Going through different variations of bases, I ended up making the wall unite. It is convenient for a small place as well.
It is equipped with clips, hooks, elastics, and containers, providing practical storage space and making it easier to find things. I wanted to keep healthy routines: drink through the night and reduce telephone lights. They are solved with the glass holder and deep container. - Inspiration
- Dorothee Becker’s Hand is a tribute to the iconic Uten.Silo, was designed by Dorothee Becker in 1969. Modernise with new technologies to improve experience nowadays. Firstly designed as a wall bedside cabinet, it is a useful addition to any room and interior. The introduction of the wall module allows the use of new primary color: blue and/or recyclable plastic.
- Project Duration
- The project started February 2021 in Moscow.

The unit was designed for a bedroom initially, can be a great addition to working places and for kitchen.
