Hommage Innovation & Designer Info

Innovation
Innovation demands ingenuity and originality. Each of the HOMMAGE collections is remarkably advanced, extremely ingenious and totally unique.

The HOMMAGE Groom Center is first cast in a zinc alloy, then copper- and nickel-plated. Each piece is finished with a durable, high gloss chrome and hand polished. The entire collection is scratch resistant and virtually corrosion-free.

The curvature and precise weight of the HOMMAGE Razor ergonomically molds to your hand to produce a smooth and extremely comfortable shave using the market leading, Gillette MACH3 blade. The HOMMAGE Brush is made with only top grade silvertip badger hair to retain soap and water, open the pores and prevent ingrown hairs.

Both razor and brush are attached to a balanced stand using patented magnetic functionality with the brush suspended down, allowing it to dry properly and increase the lifetime of the bristles.


The Designer
Wolfgang Joensson, co-founder and chief designer of HOMMAGE Inc, is an internationally known industrial and product designer of wide-ranging talents.

His designs are universally acclaimed as evident by his awards from the Red Dot, the Frankfurt Fair, the Hanover Fair and the Design Center Stuttgart.

His extensive academic and administrative career includes the Product Design Chairmanship at Art Center College of Design Europe and Chairman for a term at Art Center College of Design (Pasadena, CA). The business acumen he brings to HOMMAGE can be attributed to positions held at Pentagram and Frogdesign. His clients included Louis Vuitton Moët-Hennesy, AEG, König & Neurath, Deutsche Bank.

In early 2004, Joensson co-founded HOMMAGE as partner and chief design officer. His keen sense of style and elegance are hallmarks of the sleek HOMMAGE luxury line of shaving tools that reflect his philosophy that esthetics should be used to express functionality.
