In a world of ugly, always-empty, messy hand sanitizing dispensers, Jon Olsen set out to build a sleek, highly engineered fixture purposefully designed to make a remarkable first impression in modern interiors. Inspired by the Norwegian word for “wash,” Vaask features premium finishes that enhance and seamlessly integrate into any space. Created with an eye toward the future, Vaask fixtures make efficient use of resources for a lower environmental impact. They are made with durable, renewable materials to cut down on single-use plastics and eliminate unnecessary waste.
When a hand sanitizing fixture makes people want to use it not just to keep themselves and others healthy, but for the experience alone, then they’re going to use it more regularly — whether anyone’s watching them or not. And that helps make every one of us healthier.
