Gas clothes dryers site

Kanta-kun Deluxe had a robust appearance and simple design that harmonizes with the surrounding space. Its door and operating panel consist of the minimum necessary horizontal, vertical, and perfect circular elements. The visually streamlined, sophisticated design of this clothes dryer was achieved by placing the door opening/closing handle on the side. The metal dial on the operating panel is carefully textured to provide a sense of solidity. Our goal was to create an aesthetically pleasing clothes dryer that, essentially becoming part of a home's interior design, can be used and loved indefinitely.
