Production Technology: Dodici adapts to different bathrooms with its modular structure and offers personalized solutions. Its 120 mm slim body is crafted with natural veneer and scratch- and yellowing-resistant lacquer. Fully extendable soft-close drawers with a 30 kg load capacity ensure quiet and comfortable use, while leather-covered interiors provide a luxurious feel. The acrylic washbasin offers hygiene and easy cleaning with its antibacterial properties. The mirror, equipped with a touch sensor, adjustable light intensity, and an anti-fog IP67-rated LED system, ensures a consistently clear and sharp reflection, maintaining a flawless appearance at all times.
Design Challenge: The greatest challenge in the design process of Dodici was maintaining its slim body structure. The production of the 120 mm-thick body required detailed engineering work. To ensure stability at this thickness, special wood processing techniques and high-strength MDF with melamine coating were used. To protect the natural wood veneers against moisture, special treatments were applied to enhance durability. All these challenges were overcome through high-quality manufacturing technologies and the use of sustainable materials.
Research: Dodici is a modular system developed to create customizable and functional bathroom spaces. The design process was carried out with a focus on ergonomics and functionality, aiming to understand and meet user needs. Its flexible structure adapts to various bathroom sizes, offering ease of use and a balance of aesthetics. With high quality standards and the use of sustainable materials, the production system is environmentally conscious.
Inspiration: Dodici means "twelve" in Italian, and this name reflects the modular nature of the design. In this collection, which unites natural materials with modern architecture, elegance and durability are perfectly balanced. It draws inspiration from nature, its pure beauty, and Italian design. The rhythmic arrangement of the modules adapts to the space, transforming each bathroom into a work of art. Dodici represents an elegant, harmonious, and unique lifestyle in bathroom design.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2023 in Duzce and was completed in October 2024 in Duzce.
It was exhibited at Unicera in November 2024.
