Towel rail swivel stainless steel
General Information
Ascetic: Bathroom Utensils Comprised of a Ring and a Rod.
These utensils, designed by architect Theo Keller, are manufactured in a southern German metalworking shop with a great deal of technical precision. The principle: all utensils – from towel rod, to soap holder, to toilet paper holder - are produced by bending, snapping and rotating the same workpiece, a stainless steel rod with a diameter of 8 mm. A ring, produced on a lathe, serves as the sole mounting element; it too is stainless steel and equipped with a wall screw. Additional parts, like covers, are therefore extraneous. The ring, alone or as a pair, offers a firm or movable position depending on the objects. To obtain the firm position the ring is furnished with an additional hole and a hexagon socket locking screw. The designer himself describes this particular line of bathroom products with the attributes, “permanent, timeless, ascetic.” We don’t need to anything more. In 2004 the Design Center of North Rhine-Westphalia honoured the quality of this design with the Red Dot award for product design, one of the most significant design prizes.
Asketic: Bathroom utensils made of ring and rod
The utensils, designed by architect Theo Keller, are manufactured in a locksmith's shop in southern Germany with a high proportion of handicraft work.
The principle: all utensils - from the towel bar to the soap holder to the toilet paper holder - are made from the same workpiece, a stainless steel rod 8 mm in diameter, by bending, folding and turning. The only fastening element is a ring manufactured on the lathe, also made of stainless steel and fitted with a wall screw; other parts such as covers or similar are superfluous. The ring provides fixed or movable storage for the various items, either individually or in pairs. For fixed storage, it is equipped with an additional hole and a hexagon socket grub screw.
The designer himself provides his bathroom series with the attributes "final, timeless, ascetic". We would have nothing to add to that.
Finally, the Design Center of North Rhine-Westphalia recognized the quality of this design in 2004 with the Red Dot Award for product design, one of the most important prizes for good design.
