The Splash Lab prides itself on boundary-pushing innovation. We work hard to develop products that transform the bathroom experience for the better, and it's not an easy process. It takes determination, creativity and ingenuity – but most of all, it takes time. Every product iteration builds off the last to bring something new to the table, and ultimately usher in the next generation of restroom design. Our faucets in particular have come a very long way. Take a journey through time, style and function as we explore the evolution of two sensor faucets from the Radius Collection…
It started with our Lovair L-960 sensor faucet. This may have been one of our earlier designs, but by no means was it primitive. The original L-960 was incredibly robust, constructed from brass and coated with stainless steel to finish. We originally used a cast to form the body which made it quite chunky in comparison to slim stainless steel alternatives. This slimness pushed us to adopt our signature minimalist design philosophy. We transitioned to using only stainless steel to cut back on excess material, making the production process more efficient and our designs more aesthetically pleasing.
In fact, these faucets were first featured in our collaboration with Apple. The sensor eyes on these faucets were designed to match the shape of the then-newly released iPhone 6 and and remains a hallmark of our sensor products even today. This progression exemplifies how our design improvements are centered around innovations in form, function and technology. Each influences the other to create products that transform the restroom experience.
The idea behind The Radius Collection all stemmed from one design vision. Building upon the angled bend of the TSL.960 and TSL.990, The Radius wall-mounted faucet was constructed to Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Golden Ratio' to create a perfect balance between length, width and height. We use this principle in the design of every Radius fixture including faucets, soap dispensers, hand dryers and toilet roll holders. It was yet another key stylistic breakthrough, offering a consistent style that makes it easy for designers and architects to create harmony with different products in a singular space.
Like their predecessors, these fixtures use sensor technology, are constructed from stainless steel and are available in a range of PVD finishes. The result is a comprehensive collection of products that break new ground for form and function in the commercial space. The Radius Collection even exceeds the quality of many residential faucets and fixtures, as very few of them are made from stainless steel. It is truly the next level of quality and durability, and our TSL.960 and TSL.990 faucets paved the way for it all.
