Minosa’s® latest Hung Lift
cabinet and Double Scoop®ED washbasin collection combine smart design, premium
materials and functionality for the modern bathroom
New
to Minosa®, designers of quality modern bathroom products & bathrooms and kitchens, is the Hung Lift cabinet and Double Scoop®ED washbasin collection. The bespoke
Australian designed and manufactured bathroom pieces are a fusion of beautiful organic
form and fine design & craftsmanship.
Denoting
the quintessential “perfect couple”, both hand basin and recessed cabinet can be seamlessly
wall fixed, symmetrically and harmoniously, as if floating in space. Space and water efficient, the products are
created from enduring materials while cleverly incorporating the
often-overlooked virtue of practicality. The clean horizontal lines, quality
material selection and attention to detail in the finish of the modern contemporary
designed products conjure the much-desired calming aesthetic sought after in
the sanctuary of today’s bathroom.
A
modern interpretation of the traditional idea of shaving, Hung Lift cabinet and
Double Scoop®ED washbasin provide generous and clutter-free amenity. Everyone
and everything can have a place, making an ideal solution for multiple users of
a bathroom simultaneously without physically or visually imposing on a space.
The
products are signature of Minosa®’s carefully resolved thinking, which blends
design and construction expertise. Co-directors, interior designer Simona
Castagna, and Darren Genner a skilled craftsman and former wood machinist, are
the creative team behind the brand, who work collaboratively on all designs.
Such special considerations are highlighted in Hung Lift’s larger lift up style
cabinetry doors which means less unsightly joins, being recessed into the wall
saves on space in look and feel, the convenient functionality of the door brake
system to place items in easy reach of tall and short people alike, while
distinctive charcoal interiors make a feature of the contents.

The Minosa fixed waste will not retain water and makes it the perfect choice for light commercial or for those who do not retain water in their Hand basin..

| The door is engineered to brake when you release the door and defies gravity when opened |
 |
| The Minosa take of the traditional shaving cabinet - by creating two large doors you eliminate that annoying split in the door which is always over the basin! |

A
further example is the intriguing shallow depth of the Double Scoop®ED
washbasin that creates a dramatic comparison to other washbasins in the market
place. To accommodate the reduced bowl
capacity and lessened water requirement, while ingeniously preventing splash,
the designers have reduced the flow rate emanating from the spout.

| Deceptive in its depth |
“Reducing
the speed and volume of water flow from the spout has the effect of water
conforming to the shape of the bowl rather than repelling against it,” explains
Darren of a feature that he estimates saves a massive 15 thousand litres per
annum.
The
Double Scoop®ED washbasin like its single bowl counterpart is an intelligent
shallow design that challenges our daily water consumption needs and usage with
its inherent offer of a solution to counteract wasteful habits.
“Each bowl has a 1.4 litres water capacity, compared to the average 5
to 8 litres – that’s more than enough for people to
perform daily tasks like shaving or taking a wash,” contests Darren.
As
a standard the basin is supplied with a Minosa® Flip Waste, an intelligent
solution that replaces the traditional waste and plug system whereby the flip
section of the Minosa® Flip Waste (the plug), spins 360 degrees on every axis.
For
commercial (or residential) applications there is the option of specifiying the
Minosa® free flowing fixed waste system whereby the centre of the free flowing
waste system is adjustable to help with the flow of water. This addresses the increasingly popular
behaviour of end-users who prefer not to dam or retain water in a washbasin.
The trend also towards smaller footprints for new homes, the rise of apartment
and townhouse living and renovations are points not missed by the Minosa®
design team. To assist in maximising
available space without comprising the intended functionality of bathroom
product, the Double ScoopED washbasin is available in a choice of lengths with
various bowl locations while the Hung Lift cabinet is available in either
single door or double door configurations in a choice of standard or customised
lengths.
Allowing a bathroom to suit individual
preferences in look and function, both products are available in a selection of
quality materials and colours.
“Bathroom
storage is ideally minimalist in design, yet extremely functional and flexible.
Materials and finish should be the very best to stand the test of time in the
high traffic bathrooms and powder rooms,” says Simona.
The
added beauty of local Sydney based manufacture can be experienced via short
lead times, attention to quality assurance and the face to face specification
and installation advice at Minosa Gallery directly with the designers.
