Thanks to a collaboration between a Polish artist and a Swiss brand known for its fabric care solutions, bidders will have a chance to win a steam generator decorated with hand-painted graphics. The Lift Xtra Titan model can be used both vertically and horizontally, without the need to adjust the temperature yourself. The device is equipped with dry steam technology, which not only eliminates creases, but also helps get rid of bacteria and prevent allergies.

- The inspiration for the artwork on the device came from harmony and lightness - qualities that I associate with both steam and the creative process. The figure of a woman, the main motif of my artistic considerations, wrapped in flowers like floating steam, became the center of this work. The delicate lines and subtle details were meant to convey the aesthetics and functionality that are the essence of Laurastar. I am happy that this unique generator will go to charity auction, showing that applied art can enrich both interiors and hearts ," says the fashion illustrator and painter.
