LTHR
Working closely with lead barbers and entrepreneurs from GoSvelte barbershop, RDD+ were able to produce a hot lather dispenser that far exceeded anything previously seen on the market. As one of the design leads on the project, it fills me with immense pride to see what a huge hit the LTHR hot lather dispenser has been since its release.
Why?
Dated designs
Hot lather dispensers had not seen any real innovation for years, leading to many outdated designs, both aesthetically and functionally.
Inefficiency
Campbells Latherking, the benchmark product for lather temperature and ‘slickness’, as identified by GoSvelte barbers, takes roughly one hour to reach working temperature.
How?
Clean aesthetic
Cleverly packaged internal components, allowed for a clean and modern exterior form.
Functional understanding
By understanding what it took to produce lather with an optimal temperature and ‘slickness’, the unlikely source of inspiration ultimately came from industrial gelato machines. Adapting the functional principle seen in these machines, we were able to produce the desired quality lather and reach working temperature within 90 seconds.
