Teka - Waste Basket
GENERATING INFINITE PROPOSALS AND THROUGH COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN.
Every sink that Teka sells to its customers includes a waste basket, an element that often goes unnoticed. Addition's challenge was to transform Teka's sink basket into a prominent and unifying element for the brand's sink families.
The use of CAD tools for computational design, such as Grasshopper, allows us to create countless proposals where aesthetic changes are harmonized with functional needs. This is how we turned the basket into a new icon of brand identity that meets water flow regulations.
Computational design played a crucial role in achieving our project's objectives, particularly in meeting the required water flow. By harnessing the power of computational design, we could quickly and accurately explore thousands of potential geometries, enabling us to identify the most optimal design for the project.
The combination of 3D printing and a post-processing technique called metal plating, enabled us to validate numerous digital proposals in physical form.
The use of this process not only allowed us to confirm the aesthetic and functional qualities of the designs, but also provided a cost-effective and time-efficient way to produce prototypes for testing and evaluation. This approach helped us to refine and improve the final product before it was put into production, ensuring that it met the highest standards of quality and performance.
In addition to its successful completion, the Teka Waste Basket was also recognized for its outstanding design in the year 2022. The project received a Bronze Delta Award, which was a testament to its unique and iconic features.
The Teka Waste Basket continues to serve as an inspiration for future projects, showcasing the power of innovative design and technological advancements.
