Automatic wasteLDT Design worked with Jacuzzi UK to produce a series of concepts which explored how technology could influence the aesthetics and ease of use of the kitchen sink. This work focused in on the development of an automatic control for the opening and closing of the sink waste. LDT Design developed the idea from concept, through mechanical and electronic design and testing to a series of fully working prototypes launched at KBB, the largest kitchen and bathroom show for this market sector.
