architecture-design · 2026-04-22

French tapware brand Duten has introduced the T520, a slimline hand-drying solution for public washrooms that integrates a paper towel dispenser with a waste bin. Designed for shared facilities in offices and other public buildings, the unit features a compact, minimalistic presence and can be concealed beneath cladding or integrated into partitions. It presents a simple wall niche with a discreet top opening for towels and a lower one for waste, concealing a 20-litre bin with a removable bracket for hygienic handling. Other functional aspects include a lockable hatch for towel access and refilling from below. Available in various metallic finishes such as stainless steel, matte black, brass PVD, copper PVD, or gun metal PVD, the T520 measures 120 x 382 x 1362 millimetres. This product launch was featured on Dezeen Showroom, a platform for brands to showcase new designs to a global audience.
