LE-CUBE, medical/beauty machine (with Beatrice Barozzi) | MAYABEAUTY Engineering srl

"Le Cube" was a concept for a new aesthetic and functional structure to renew an existing medical/beauty machine. The main goal was to simplify the assembly and clean the lines of the machine. A very peculiar feature (in 2015) was the idea of controlling it via a tablet/smartohone application, making it useless to provide a screen. Instead, it was designed so that one could place its own portable device.
