The design focus of the intelligent Leader towel rack was on hygienic and sustainable hand drying. In order to reduce the use of disposable paper towels, while at the same time counteracting a spread of bacteria, Leader uses a special suspension system in combination with a lifting mechanism. After each use, the towel is pulled up automatically. Inside the device, the towel then goes through a cleaning and disinfection process before it can be used again.
Statement by the Jury
