“Enduring, not ultimate form”: from “Industrieform” to Red Dot (1980 - 1997)
Lite Water Bar
LITE WATER BAR meets the diverse drinking water needs of users, offering a fast, safe, and refined experience with both hot and cold water. It revolutionises the traditional water dispenser form with light interaction and simplified functions. The open design enhances interaction between people and objects, making it a daily essential and a social tool.
Inspired by the contours and lines of furniture, LITE WATER BAR integrates seamlessly into home environments, increasing the home’s delicacy and providing emotional value for young people. It features personalised accessories that users can select to meet diverse storage needs.
The modular structure design and standardised components allow for flexible disassembly, making it easier for young people to move and transport. This promotes circularity and extends the product’s lifespan. Additionally, it reduces manufacturing and transportation costs for businesses, improves production efficiency, conserves social resources, and supports sustainability.
