Permanent hand sanitiser Vaask
Hand sanitising is a good habit that’s continued since the pandemic and is becoming a permanent fixture in spas. However, bottles of hand sanitiser scattered around look unsightly, especially as they often run out and remain empty and unnoticed by busy staff. Hand hygiene company Vaask has created a new sleek, permanent solution – a touchless hand sanitising fixture that can be recessed into the wall, offering precise and consistent delivery of hand gel. Made from cast aluminium, the system offers spas a streamlined, premium look while its permanence demonstrates spa operators’ long-term commitment to cleanliness. Featuring a PalmPilot hand sensor and a precision pump control, the Vaask system automatically retracts sanitiser when the hand is moved away. Hard-wired to AC power, it doesn’t require batteries, has a large capacity, and is easily refilled. www.vaask.com
Dolce
Kenneth Cobonpue Furniture designer Kenneth Cobonpue has revealed a new ‘bubble bed’ in an innovative design that offers seclusion and isolation, making it an ideal statement piece for the spa setting. Combining sumptuous velvet with the lightness of carbon fibre, Dolce is a soft woven bed crafted in a unique organic shape. Previewed at Salone del Mobile, Milano, the piece represents the authentic craftsmanship of Cobonpue’s homeland, the Philippines, and is made with natural materials hewn into soft and sinuous lines reminiscent of classic Filipino boats, evoking a culture and tradition to be celebrated, passed on and shared. Available in ivory, pebble grey, chestnut, deep green, royal blue and black, the range is continued with the Dolce armchair, which combines the sturdy support of a metal structure with the softness of a velvet seat. www.kennethcobonpue.com
