Martefun was a 2016 showcase site for a stylish floor-standing sink concept created by young designers. The product never made it to production, but the project remains memorable for its aesthetics, energy, and personal significance.
Martefun was a presentation site built in 2016 for friends — young designers working on a beautifully unconventional floor-standing sink.
They had the vision, the energy, the style.
They wanted to bring their product to market, but ultimately couldn’t.
Even so, the project earned its place in the timeline.
Martefun remains one of the visually memorable small projects I worked on that year.
The design was:
sleek
modern
confident
a little daring
And even now, years later, I still like how it looks.
Some projects simply have the right attitude — this was one of them.
The product never launched.
The designers moved on.
But the idea had potential, and the site captured that moment — the spark before reality catches up.
There’s a particular kind of beauty in projects like these:
they represent what could have happened, and the effort that went into trying.
Martefun wasn’t about complex systems or technical breakthroughs.
It was about supporting talented friends, helping shape their idea, and giving it a stage — even if the world never got to see the product itself.
👉 Some projects remain important simply because you believed in the people behind them.
