Shine. Comfort for All.
Comfort in a single wall-hung, self-supporting piece
After the Flight and Flat washbasins, the New Age furniture and, above all, the Prime washbasin, Shine continues in the same design direction: to keep opening up new paths for bathroom furnishings “for All” that put people’s needs and emotions at the centre.
In this sense, the research and development of new Design for All products is an opportunity for our studio to demonstrate its social responsibility by offering solutions designed for accessible hospitality.
Made entirely in Italy by Goman.
The idea
The suspended object
The system and formal language we used for Prime to achieve its embracing front edge were the starting point for this new project. At the same time, we wanted the object to look somehow suspended, as if floating, to emphasise the lightness we were aiming for.
It looks suspended: it is a single self-supporting component.
The aim
In settings devoted to the care and well-being of older people or people with disabilities, it is important to be able to choose inclusive products and accessories, designed to play a central role at difficult moments. Feeling welcomed, cared for, supported and understood is fundamental to the care of every person: this is our aim.
We also had hospitality in mind, from bars and restaurants to hotels and entertainment venues, which become more competitive when they use products and accessories designed for safety, well-being and inclusive accessibility. In this way they widen their opportunities to serve and welcome guests, responding to the demand for travel and services that also meet the needs and requirements of people with disabilities.
Features
A single self-supporting component
Shine is a wall-hung washbasin with an elbow rest, a shelf for personal items and a concave front edge, with a fixed 8° tilt. It was conceived as a single self-supporting component that needs no brackets or other separate fixing systems.
This is why we chose Politek, a highly resistant material made of polyester resin and calcium carbonate, coated with a special sanitary-grade gelcoat in gloss or matt white, which is suitable for installation in settings for people with disabilities and complies with the relevant standards.

Frequently asked questions
How is a wall-hung washbasin installed without brackets?
Shine is a single self-supporting component: no brackets or other separate fixing systems are needed. It is fixed directly to the wall through concealed holes beneath the washbasin, which cannot be seen once installation is complete. Politek with a sanitary-grade gelcoat makes it suitable for settings for people with disabilities, and compliant with the standards.
