Understanding market
Most luxury brands in sanitaryware offer similar designs, with the trend toward 'minimalism' stifling innovation. The focus often revolves around material variations like stone, marble, and textured finishes, leaving little space for true creative exploration.
Ideation
The wireform design sets itself apart from conventional sanitaryware products. Unlike typical designs with solid surfaces, this concept emphasises the beauty of the product's structural skeleton, demonstrating that it can be both functional and visually striking without a fully covered exterior.
6 Principles of Wireform Design
Proximity: The wireform structure reduces visual clutter, creating a more open and spacious look.
Transparency: The see-through design allows light to pass through, enhancing the sense of openness.
Simplicity: The minimalist approach focuses only on the essential elements that blend seamlessly with the form.
Aesthetic: The wireform design showcases the beauty of the structure and craftsmanship.
Versatility: The design adapts effortlessly to different spaces and styles, offering broad applicability.
Functionality: The design supports the inclusion of additional features and functions without compromising its core structure.
Innovative Wireform Design for Wash Basin, Bath Tube and Commode
Both the bathtub and commode are conceptual designs, based on theoretical ergonomics and dimensions. The wash basin, however, was tested using a prototype to ensure ease of use and practical functionality.
Colour, Material and Finish
Colours: Jade(white) with Silver frame, Sapphire with Copper frame, Emerald Green with Brass frame, and Jade(red) with Black frame.
Materials: Ceramic, Jade, Marble, and Glass, with frames crafted from Stainless Steel.
Finishing: Nano coating repels water, preventing stains and dirt buildup.

Prototyping Process
The wireform structure was constructed, with each of the 24 parts being welded and the loops closed. The parts were then assembled and welded together to form the complete wireform structure. A 3D printer was used to create the base of the body, which was then layered with clay and polished to a smooth finish. Clear gloss paint was sprayed onto the frame, while white gloss paint was applied to the clay to replicate the appearance of ceramic.
