Ducha Lona: Innovation and Design at Habitat Stand 2019

At Habitat Stand 2019, we unveiled the Ducha Lona, an innovative project created in collaboration with Lucas Vilanova for Master EASD Valencia. Utilizing Krion Snow White and acrylic, this archway shower offers a unique sensory experience, combining aesthetic design with advanced functionality. The LED lighting and the design inspired by natural water flow elevate a simple shower to a relaxing and spectacular exhibit.
Ducha Lona: Innovation and Design at Habitat Stand 2019

With the Ducha Lona, we combine Krion and acrylic to create a shower experience that is both aesthetic and functional.

In 2019, we developed the Ducha Lona for Master EASD Valencia at the Feria de Muestras in Valencia. This innovative archway shower features a convex top that mimics the natural flow of water, creating an ancestral sensation of rain. The integration of Krion Snow White and acrylic allows LED lighting to highlight the threads of water, transforming a simple shower into a spectacular exhibit. Collaborating with Lucas Vilanova and employing advanced technology allowed us to present an exceptional piece at the fair, demonstrating the perfect blend of design and functionality.

 

The Ducha Lona design combines Krion, acrylic, and LED technology to offer a unique and spectacular shower experience.

Collaborating with Master EASD Valencia and Lucas Vilanova on the Habitat Stand 2019 project was a rewarding experience. The collaboration with the client was excellent, adapting to their needs to create a shower that not only served its purpose but also stood out as an impressive exhibition piece. A curious detail of the project was the closed water circuit incorporated for the fair. Initially, we thought there was a leak because the tank was emptying quickly, but it turned out that the water cascade in contact with the air was causing the consumption. This project is a perfect example of how innovative design can exceed expectations and create a lasting impact.

For the Ducha Lona project, we used TopSolid to design all the Krion and acrylic components and coordinated the execution with advanced tools CMS-PF112 and Biesse Rover B. The process included precise machining of the pieces, thermoforming in a membrane press, and orbital sanding with 240 grit. The installation of the LED matrix and hydraulic control was carried out by specialized partner companies. Each component was carefully assembled to ensure optimal quality and performance, highlighting our ability to handle complex projects with precision and attention to detail.

The transformation of materials for the Ducha Lona involved a detailed and precise process. We started with design in TopSolid, defining the shapes and dimensions of the Krion Snow White and acrylic pieces. Manufacturing included machining in CMS-PF112 and Biesse Rover B, followed by thermoforming in a membrane press to adjust the shapes to design specifications. Sanding with 240 grit in our facilities ensured a smooth and even finish. Integrating LED lighting required meticulous planning to ensure each water thread was properly highlighted. Finally, the assembly of the shower, along with hydraulic control and LED matrix, was completed with the collaboration of specialized companies, achieving an exceptional result that combines aesthetics and functionality. The public's response at the fair demonstrated the success of the design and execution, highlighting the Ducha Lona as an innovative addition to our product portfolio.
