System-Two: A Revolutionary Mobile System for Small Spaces

A Multifunctional Sanitary Ware Design by Nilo Gioacchini & Opus Srl

System-Two, designed by Nilo Gioacchini & Opus Srl, is a revolutionary mobile system that brings together the functionalities of a wc, washbasin, and container, all in a compact and minimal space. This innovative design allows for the creation of a complete bathroom in areas that were previously inconceivable.

System-Two is specifically designed for small or unconventional spaces, making it ideal for community areas, residential buildings, second homes, studios, or even subway renovations. Its integrated functions and compact form make it a perfect solution for maximizing space efficiency.

The key strength of System-Two lies in its formal synthesis, which unifies all the related functions into a single volume. This unification not only optimizes space but also creates a cohesive and visually appealing design language for small spaces.

The realization of System-Two involves the use of various materials, including vitreous china porcelain, high-pressure printed components, composite wood, plastic, chrome-plated brass, aluminum, and mirrors. These materials are carefully selected to ensure durability and functionality.

With a width and depth of 50cm and a total height of 1900cm, System-Two offers a compact yet comprehensive bathroom solution. Its transformation from a simple volume to a functional sink with a container, mirror, and lighting is achieved through a seamless vertical rotation, providing a truly metamorphic experience.

The development of System-Two began in 2013 in Pelago and was completed in September 2014. It was showcased at Cersaie 2014, garnering attention and acclaim for its innovative design and space-saving capabilities.

The design team, led by Nilo Gioacchini, Mirko Lorenzini, and Sara Zama, faced various challenges during the engineering and coordination of all the components. However, their dedication and expertise resulted in a successful realization of System-Two.

The production of System-Two is a testament to Forsan's commitment to continuous research and development in contemporary bathroom furnishings. The design embodies the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics, showcasing the excellence of Italian design.

System-Two has been recognized with the prestigious A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design category in 2015. This accolade acknowledges its well-designed, practical, and innovative nature, meeting professional and industrial requirements. The award highlights System-Two's contribution to a better world through its integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics.
