OVAL
INDIVIDUAL WORK | SCHOOL PROJECT | 2019
Thermostat head for visually impaired people
Cooperation
Rettig ICC hopes to increase the position of thermostats as an interior element in homes. Nowadays, thermostats, for example, are often seen as a technical part of renovations, the choice that no one puts mind into it, and the end user is often unable to choose thermo-stats. However, it is a functional product visible from time to time that can be shaped well.

Final prototype
Oval is a simple and elegant solution for every interior. The turning mechanism makes the adjustment scale easy to understand for all ages. The scale also helps, if there is difficulties with seeing, because the position can be felt. 90° angle means hot and 180° means, that it’s turned off. The design is affordable, but still its turning effect makes it a small entertaining detail for every household.
