The Splash Lab Elevates Commercial Restrooms With Lumashelf

Perhaps you’ve thought public handwashing stations could use a glow-up. The Splash Lab has delivered with Lumashelf. This newly debuted, ultra-innovative (and might we add, super good-looking) fully integrated, pre-assembled handwashing system is designed for modern commercial restrooms and other high-traffic settings.

But what makes this system so novel? Distinct from comparable products on the market that require separate specifications, all Lumashelf components—including plumbing, electrical, drainage, soap reservoirs, and optional air dryer motors—are pre-fastened to the frame. All materials are LEED-compliant, the components are energy-efficient and modular for easy replacement, and the system is ADA-compliant. What’s more, Lumashelf’s sleek, sculptural, Danish-inspired design is complemented by soft strip lighting and illuminated icons that indicate wash and dry zones. A shelf for personal items makes the handwashing experience more hygienic and helpful for users.

“With the Lumashelf, our challenge was to design a unified solution that integrates function and form, improves installability, simplifies maintenance, and enhances intuitiveness for the end user,” explains Leendert Tange, creative director of The Splash Lab and designer of the Lumashelf.

Made in the US, this washroom system is available in one-, two-, or three-user modules with a choice of four standard finish combinations that blend Corian basin finishes with stainless-steel pipe skirts and backsplashes.

A global manufacturer of high-performance commercial washroom systems, The Splash Lab’s latest creation should come as no surprise. After all, the design-forward company is known for merging visually elevated design with intelligent engineering, as seen in installations at London Heathrow Airport and New York’s Moynihan Train Hall. A prototype of Lumashelf was installed atMiami International Airport for several months, but the company hasn't had a production unit officially installed quite yet. So stay tuned for where this cutting-edge product might pop up next.
