for Bisazza

Our objective for this bathroom collection was to create a strong singular impression by assembling the various elements of a bathroom suite as though they were ‘all in the bath together’. The feeling of connection that comes from a bath with someone you don’t know at a hot spring or local public bath is an important part of Japanese culture. Our bathroom collection for Bissazza expresses this feeling through its design. The two key parts of the strategy are details that present the different elements as though they have been stored together in a box, and elements that go together well when used in multiples. The taps are located inside the washbasin and bathtub, submerged in water alongside accessories like a soap dispenser or a water glass. A tray placed inside the basin becomes an island for objects that need to be kept dry. The washbasin stand encloses the washbasin inside a wood frame, through which the water pipe rises up from the floor, turning into the tap. The mirror glass has been removed in different places to mimic the effect of pools of water. This emphasizes the impression that the mirror resides in a frame. The planters are designed as though in boxes, so that they can be stacked. The small ceramic container can be used as a toothbrush holder, bud vase or holder for other items. The container’s shape was carefully designed to be easily used in multiples. The wall clock can be lined up in multiples, too, creating the visual effect of horizontal continuity.

我们设计这个浴室系列的目的是通过将浴室套房的各种元素组合在一起，创造一种强烈的独特印象，就好像它们“都在浴室里”。在温泉或当地的公共浴池里与陌生人泡澡时产生的亲密感是日本文化的重要组成部分。我们为Bissazza设计的浴室系列通过设计表达了这种感觉。该策略的两个关键部分是展示不同元素的细节，就像它们被一起存储在一个盒子中一样，以及在使用多个元素时能够很好地组合在一起的元素。水龙头位于洗脸盆和浴缸内，浸在水里，旁边是像肥皂分配器或水杯这样的配件。放置在盆内的托盘成为需要保持干燥的物体的一个岛。洗手盆架将洗手盆围在一个木框内，水管通过木框从地板上升，进入水龙头。镜子玻璃在不同的地方被移除，以模仿水池的效果。这强调了镜子驻留在一个框架的印象。花盆被设计成盒子状，这样就可以堆叠起来。小陶瓷容器可作为牙刷架，花瓶或其他物品的架。容器的形状经过精心设计，便于多次使用。挂钟也可以以多种方式排列，创造出横向连续性的视觉效果。
