DESIGN CONTEXT

Designed by Makio Hasuike in the 1970s, these Gedy towel holders belong to a coordinated system where function, color and proportion are treated as part of a unified architectural language.

The design is built around a simple but highly controlled geometry: a cylindrical body in glossy green plastic anchors the piece to the wall, while the chrome steel arms extend outward with a clean, continuous line. The contrast between the saturated color and the reflective metal gives the object a strong graphic presence without adding visual weight.

This set of Gedy towel holders two includes two different sizes, allowing a more dynamic and structured installation. Used together, they create a layered composition that enhances both function and visual rhythm within the space.

Designed to work as part of a system, these towel holders pair seamlessly with the Gedy green lighted mirror and the Makio Hasuike mirror cabinet, creating a unified and structured bathroom environment.

A precise and intelligent project, where even the simplest gesture — hanging a towel — becomes part of a larger spatial composition.
