In the fashion world, flamingos are the kings

Flamingos are so elegant and fun, chic and trendy. In the fashion world, flamingos are the kings. Flamingo feathers obtain their wonderful rosy pink color from pigments in the organisms they eat. The flamingos’ feathers, legs, and face are colored by their diet, which is rich in alpha and beta carotenoid pigments. Carotenoids in crustaceans such as those in the flamingo diet are frequently linked to protein molecules, and may be blue or green. After being digested, the carotenoid pigments dissolve in fats and are deposited in the growing feathers, becoming orange or pink. There are six different species of flamingo, found in locations ranging from the Caribbean and South America to Africa, India, and the Mediterranean.

Los flamencos o “flamingos” en inglés están de moda y marcan tendencias, pero ¿sabéis por qué estos animales son de color rosa? Cuando nacen no lo son, tardan 3 años en alcanzar la madurez y cambiar de color. El plumaje rosa se debe a su alimentación: los carotenoides presentes en camarones, plancton, algas y crustáceos les dan este color tan característico. En España podemos encontrarlos en lugares como las Salinas de Santa Pola, el parque Natural de Doñana…

Must, built-in mixer and pull-out spout: a discreet and refined detail at the core of the project

Must is born from a functional need, inspired to practical use of a kitchen, where mixers and pull-out spouts are usually clear and evident. Mina thinks about the built-in mixer and amazes with an original idea: a design project of breakdown kitchen mixer elements and the subsequent rebuilding in a rational but unusual way. The result is a built-in body that feels comfortable in the bathroom, by opening the possibility for further uses.

A kitchen set stripped of ornaments in order to pay back the essence of the mixer and its inner part, which becomes the subject of the composition. The extension of the pull-out spout is a discreet detail as not to be predominant, but it is built-in the wall. Must is comfortable not just for the kitchen but also in the bathroom, and wherever there is a need to have such mixer. Moreover it has hygienic advantages thank to stainless steel material. The extension of the pull-out spout is a discreet detail as not to be predominant, but it is built-in the wall.

Mina ha nacido inspirándose en su uso práctico en la cocina, donde los grifos con ducha extraíble son evidentes. La firma ha pensado de este modo en el mezclador empotrado, esconde de manera exquisita la parte extensible y asombra con esta original idea, que también se puede utilizar en el baño, ampliando así sus posibles usos. Una solución elegante y sencilla acabada en acero inoxidable, un material muy higiénico y duradero.
