Airblade dB Hand Dryer

Popular and effective, but also a noisemaker in commercial restrooms, the Dyson Airblade has just become 50% quieter, thanks to engineering and design tweaks. These include a double-scallop design that increases the distance between the two colliding sheets of air that the reshaped ends dispense, an overhanging lip on the aperture's front that changes the angle at which the air exits, and a silencer that eliminates specific motor tones. The enhanced design has an estimated noise level of 82 decibels.

This table and bench series from Landscape Forms reimagines concrete as a light and fluid material. The slim tabletops and seating are cast of MeldStone, a high-performance, environmentally friendly concrete developed by Meld USA, and are defined by fluting on the undersides. Rounding out the design are steel-tube bases that are perfectly sized for precision welding into the fluting's grooves.

Designers can also source their own track hardware to mount the panels to the floor. The Polka 120 panel comes in a standard size of 5' 8¾” x 8' or custom dimensions, and 43 colors.

A happy medium between the aesthetic of a wide designer bowl and the functionality of a double-sink, Blanco's Precis Cascade is a minimalist undermount fixture that features a tiered design to create a second compartment. The raised platform offers a 5½”-wide area for food prep, while the main sink measures 7⅞” wide. Composed of Blanco's scratch- and stain-resistant Silgranit II material, the unit is available in eight different colors.
