DESIGN NAME: Ora
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Shower panel
INSPIRATION: The exquisiteness of genuine shapes combined with technological materials in a recent comprehended touch led us to desire and create an element or series of elements for the bathroom. Reflections on the life and basic needs of man in the wild, comparing the origins of antiquity and shifting the essence of the purification of the body as a union with the universal nature in a modern way, I came to the desire to create some primordial image in the form of a leaf of a tropical plant with a technological life approach in the future, thereby reminding the person of his connection with the natural ....
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A shower panel that has not yet combined such possibilities within so pleasant aesthetic appearance, as well as a shower tray with a system of accumulation and filtration of gray water. Such duet is designed to cope well with the over-use of water, not so much systematically in itself as much to take part in the distribution of water balance in the general living space for whole family or social usage and will save 50% - 70% of the fluid used.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: For convenience of the User the system is equipped with the ability to connect to the "Smart" space, which will allow this equipment constantly register spending and consuming the resources, making the necessary adjustments for pleasant shower time of a User and distributing (forwarding or redirecting or keeping) necessary amount of water in the system of circulation, irrigation or heating.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in May 2017 in Kiev and finished in November 2017 in Dniepr.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The body of the shower hanger is made of durable, heat-resistant mineral acrylic resins, which do not require special care. The upper part of the watering can is made of colored glass, formed in the likeness of a leaf of a tropical plant, which is gently illuminated from the inside. The tray is made of the same material as the shower hanger, with a water absorption capacity of about 60 liters, depending on the pallet sizes selected by the user. The surface of the tray can have an unusual and at the same time an interesting visual structure.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Shower hanger dimantions:
Width 660mm x Depth 600mm x Height 2000mm
Tray dimantions:
Width 2000mm x Depth 1000mm x Height 70mm

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Research and thoughts in the field of sanitary equipment arose suddenly, immediately after realizing an interesting approach to design that could be visually and technologically covered by any part of users, taking into account the experience of world known manufacturers and the introduction of refinements in the method of supply, distribution and filtration of gray water. Just the necessary software for direct control or automatic control. The flowability of the water distribution system was tied to the goal of reducing the costs associated with water consumption and minimizing the involvement of the introduction consumer in complex closed work, while at the same time facilitating access to the main removable and replaceable parts of the plumbing equipment. The necessity of such a system is itself obvious and simple overnight.
CHALLENGE: The essence of the project is to display the aesthetic image of one of the elements of sanitary equipment with the functionality of its use, as well as the introduction of Nano and Smart technologies. To create compatibility of these components, the recommendations and calculations of electrotechnologists were required for the possibility of installing compact electronics, sensors for the mutual coordinated work of each of the zones responsible for the corresponding action in particular or for the entire system as a whole. Searching for the desired shape and simplicity of the lines mainly depended on the conclusions of the research (equipment capacity, all kinds of connections).Besides some difficulty was caused by the necessity to find the proper place for the gray water cleaning system. This led to a simple approach - to install it using the space of the shower tray, so as not to occupy the useful area of space for these purposes.
