RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Dodici is a modular system developed to create customizable and functional bathroom spaces. The design process was carried out with a focus on ergonomics and functionality, aiming to understand and meet user needs. Its flexible structure adapts to various bathroom sizes, offering ease of use and a balance of aesthetics. With high quality standards and the use of sustainable materials, the production system is environmentally conscious.
CHALLENGE: The greatest challenge in the design process of Dodici was maintaining its slim body structure. The production of the 120 mm-thick body required detailed engineering work. To ensure stability at this thickness, special wood processing techniques and high-strength MDF with melamine coating were used. To protect the natural wood veneers against moisture, special treatments were applied to enhance durability. All these challenges were overcome through high-quality manufacturing technologies and the use of sustainable materials.
