Health Guardian: The Ultimate Degerming Shelf

A Towel Rack that Ensures Hygiene and Convenience

Discover the innovative design by Shan Ni that combines drying and sterilization for a germ-free bathroom experience.

In a wet and humid environment, towels can easily become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to skin diseases and other health issues. Recognizing this problem, designer Shan Ni has created the Health Guardian, a revolutionary degerming shelf that not only dries towels but also disinfects them, ensuring optimal hygiene.

The Health Guardian stands out from other towel racks with its unique antibacterial properties and multifunctional design. By utilizing ultraviolet (UV) light and intelligent measuring technology, it effectively dries and sterilizes towels, providing a pleasant and safe user experience. The intelligent control system ensures that the UV light is only activated when no one is in close proximity, guaranteeing the safety of users.

Constructed using high-quality SUS 304 stainless steel, the Health Guardian is not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing. Its sleek and compact design makes it suitable for any bathroom space. With dimensions of 580 mm * 63 mm * 91 mm, it can accommodate two towels simultaneously, making it ideal for households of all sizes.

Operating the Health Guardian is effortless, thanks to its user-friendly touch interface. By simply pressing the switch button, users can set the desired drying and disinfection time. Once activated, the shelf will automatically perform the necessary treatment, ensuring that towels and clothing are thoroughly dried and sterilized. Once the set time has elapsed, the shelf will automatically shut off, completing the operation.

The Health Guardian project began in December 2019 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China, and is still in the implementation phase. The design team, consisting of Cao Weizhi, Ni Shan, Zhang Anzhen, Cheng Hong, Zheng Shuwen, Yang Donglin, Tang Zihui, Gong Xiaoqian, Li Jiahui, and Yan Jiahui, has dedicated extensive research and development to create a product that addresses the common issue of damp and unhygienic bathrooms.

The Health Guardian has received recognition for its outstanding design and functionality. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design category in 2021. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate innovation, practicality, and adherence to industry standards. The Health Guardian's integration of cutting-edge technology and its contribution to a healthier living environment make it a true winner.

With the Health Guardian, Shan Ni has successfully combined aesthetics, functionality, and hygiene in a single design. This degerming shelf not only enhances the visual appeal of bathrooms but also ensures the well-being of users by eliminating the risks associated with damp towels. Embrace the Health Guardian and experience the ultimate in cleanliness and convenience.
