Lavaris - Hand cleaning in public places

Lavaris - Hand cleaning in public places

What does hand cleaning in public places mean to us today and what does it look like?

Whereas the ordinary washing basin is usually situated in the restroom, Lavaris offers an additional possibility for hand cleaning in the public sphere. Take for example the contact point airport where many people of different cultures meet in one building, communicating and shaking hands. Airports or other frequently visited areas live on this movement, exactly the same way as dirt and bacteria. Lavaris also means a fusion regarding the process of hand cleaning.

User - Interaction

As soon as the user moves his hands into the body shell, a three-step process activates, including the use of water, soap lotion and finally the drying of hands with warm air.

Within the context of medical areas or areas where a possible spread of bacteria would be fatal, Lavaris becomes mobile, thus even more flexible. Furthermore, hand cleaning is then based on a disinfectant lotion.

The appearance of Lavaris does not resemble the ordinary form of a washing basin. Rather, Lavaris awakens interest in its environment by being aesthetically attractive with its modern appealing design. Lavaris makes the „toilet-atmosphere“ and unsanitary conditions a thing of the past.

Freestanding, open and self - explanatory was the mayor goal in the design process. Lavaris also means a fusion regarding the process of hand cleaning.
