Magnetic Zosine

Magnetic Zosine is a metal baseboard designed for interior walls. The baseboard is made of an aluminium panel and a metal back panel, both magnetized, so installation is completed by simple splicing without glue or plugs. The baseboard is only 5 mm thick after installation, and the tilted profile helps resist dust. The oxidized surface is smooth, durable and moisture-proof, and high-precision mechanical cutting gives accurate sizes. Glue-free assembly avoids the release of formaldehyde and benzene, and the parts can be removed and recycled.

Black Gold 8

Black Gold 8 is a knob-type thermostat for heated towel racks. Black Gold 8 works with a range of heating wires and heating rods. The interface shows numbers and four icons for temperature, duration, eco mode and power supply, indicated by needles that move left and right. A single knob is pressed to choose a mode and then turned to set the temperature and the time. A child lock is activated by holding the knob for three seconds. Protection systems detect leakage and overheating, sound a warning and cut off the power.

Modular

Modular is a series of pull handles for doors. Each handle is built from independent elements. The tube and the bases are separate parts, so they can be finished in different ways. Available finishes include the full RAL colour palette, anodised aluminium, stainless steel and printing that imitates wood. The parts are made of aluminium flat bar with a rectangular section of 80 by 12 millimetres. The bases are 200 millimetres long and are offered in six shapes. A fingerprint reader and LED strips can also be added, so each handle can be matched to the door and the facade.

Sound Balance

Sound Balance is a system of acoustic elements designed for open-plan offices. The range comprises 34 wall and room elements that absorb sound. Each absorber combines polyester fleece panels of varying densities to reach a high level of sound absorption. The acoustic material offers a higher absorption rating than typical foams and fibres. All Sound Balance elements are certified to Fire Safety Class B2 and use pollutant-free materials. The elements are sturdy and hold securely on the wall. Noise is reduced while a calm visual appearance is kept.

Compact

Compact is an air purifier designed for small interiors. The unit delivers a clean air delivery rate of 200 cubic metres per hour within a small volume, so the purifier suits limited living spaces. An innovative air tunnel merges the filter supports, several outer parts and the tunnel into single components, leaving only five main parts. The reduced part count lowers production complexity and cost, making cleaner indoor air more affordable. A curve at the top centre holds a receiver that works with many infrared remote controls. The body is made of injection moulded ABS.
