Bathroomware to Beauty.

Maia SatinJet shower, merchandised as a luxury beauty product
The brief, made real

We took Maia SatinJet, the world's first beauty shower, into new markets: changing the experience of bathroomware into a beauty product, and winning the New Zealand Design in Business Award.

A 119-year-old Dunedin foundry, reborn as an award-winning beauty brand. Rather than fight for shelf space in the hardware aisle, we repositioned the product entirely, and sold it on the beauty floor at Barneys, New York.
