The Future of Domestic Hot Water Storage

  • Listen to the article
Will the domestic hot water cylinders of the future limit themselves to storing hot water? Or will there be functions and tasks which we have not even thought of yet? These topics were tackled by the students of the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design.

 

Under the guidance of Prof. Hartmut Voigt and with the support of Vaillant, the students developed futuristic scenarios for hot water storage. Interesting approaches were created which can deliver the impetus for the new product and design developments.

“Jesera” study - Andreas Näther

Jesera
The Jesera study integrates a seat shell into the hot water tank and creates a direct connection to the shower. For older people and for people with disabilities, the hot water tank performs a beautifully designed double function. This is an intelligent combination of form and function.

“tablEAU” study - Christian Degen

In the future, the hot water cylinder and washbasin/washstand could come into a close symbiosis.

”HyDroP” study - Sebastian Drescher and Thomas Szczesny

hydrop
The tank uses light effects, changing from blue to red, in a droplet shape to visually represent the condition of the water from cool to hot, from refreshing to relaxing and simultaneously provides an experience of depth and infinity.

“Hi2O” study - Stefan Batca

Hi2o
When a drop falls on water it spreads tiny waves over the surface. Stefan Batcas creatively transplanted this wonderful characteristic of water into his design for the Hi20 operating device. When his water storage tank is switched on, waves spread out from the switch across the entire surface of the device.
