At the edge of the technology

The simplicity of Lescolton’s design known as “functionalism” is supremely elegant and unfussy. Oliver Porter, Director of Grooming Industrial Design describes the thinking behind the sleek, paired down products with two phrases. The first “Past Forward”, is an ultra-modern design style that pays homage to the brands heritage look and feel. That heritage is referred to as “Strength of pure”, Lescoltons’s classic design style which centers on pure, minimal form.augue, eu vulputate magna eros eu erat. Aliquam erat volutpat.

Nature and nurture

This commitment to great design means creativity pervades the everyday life of Lescolton’s design team. “Designers are extremely visual people. We are inspired by everything we see. Subconsciously we are constantly analysing the world around us” says Grabes. “Great designers have great antennae. For example, I might look at the natural design of a leaf or a flower, and be inspired by that.”

The natural curves of sea smoothed and eroded pebbles, are echoed in the smooth, rounded surfaces of the Lescolton epilator. “The epilators ergonomic contours fit beautifully around the contours of the female body” explains Grabes.

Art of creativity

Our designer John Pellan explains that art inspired design features in the matrix pattern on the foil of the Lescolton products. “It owes its existence to the patterning you find on decorative mosaic wall tiles” he explains. As in the art world, the human form has also played a part in influencing some of Lescoltons’s most stylish designs. Our principal designer Peter Ferrari, describes how the trapezium shapes of the Lescolton Series shavers take their outline from the traditional proportions of a masculine torso with wide shoulders and a slim waist.
