| DESIGN NAME: Oasis PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bathroom Sanitaryware INSPIRATION: Oasis has been inspired by over 30 years of travel and living in the most exciting major cities of the world. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: OASIS is the distillation of the moods, shapes and icons absorbed from over 30 years of travel and living in major cities, distilled into a private sanctuary. Paris reflects opulence, elegence and sculptural grandeur. Milano, sporty motorboats, slender Pinin-Farina curves and racy colours. London is eclectic Black TaxiCab culture. Barcelona bathes the eyes in vibrant colours and exotic shapes. Vienna is cream-of-Hapsburg, whilst New York stares towards the future. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The operation flow of these bathrooms is to create a temple or sanctuary with objects that are sculptures to elevate a daily ritual into a relaxing pleasure and chance for self-reflection. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Project was started in Paris in February 2013 and finished in Athens end of August 2014. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Oasis uses the current stat-of-the-art in sanitaryware [toilet and sink-basin] hi-pressure tooling as well as traditional drawn-plastics technology [acrylic, fibreglass and carbon-fibre] as used in the luxury motor boat or car industries to form the bathtubs. The objects can also be formed in solid metal using traditional sculpture technology [sand-casting or even lost wax]. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Bathtubs 1500 x 750mm Toilet Suites 400 X 600 X 600mm Sink Basins 400mm bowls TAGS: bathtubs, toilets, bidet, sculpture, sinks, basins, sanitaryware, bathrooms, luxury bathrooms RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Sanitaryware Technology has been limited to manufacturing quality with emphasis on making items small and ultra-minimal to fit into a tiny closet. Sink Basins have gone from the notion of water storage to water flow. Toilets have become more technical - electronic flushing to feet warming to music playing! OASIS brings pleasure to a task normally seen as a chore. CHALLENGE: The challenge was to go against the ultra-minimalist, hide-it in a closet tendency and create sculptures that were the centre of attention, that would put the pleasure back into escaping into your own private sanctuary.
