OHTAKE
Organic lines and a timeless design. The Brazilian architect Ruy Ohtake used elements of nature – wave curves, the ever-changing line of the horizon and the purest form of design, the egg – as an inspiration to create the unique collection of washbasins.
Designing the unexpected
Statement by the Jury
Exploring the possibilities of form, Ruy Ohtake by Roca has emerged as a refreshingly different washbasin. His filigree ceramic bowl fascinates with its organically curved, sensual-looking silhouette – technology, functionality and aesthetics come together in a symbiotic way. The design impressively uses the form here to visualise the fragile lightness of the material.
