Duravit In his Starck X series, designer Philippe Starck maximizes minimalism. This vision called for extraordinary expertise in working with ceramic: unusual basin divisions, redesigned mixer positions and combinations with surfaces such as yellow and platinum. The bathroom furniture sparkles with brightly lacquered inserts; mirror elements shine with innovative illumination. Because overflowing water is not a problem, bathers can immerse their entire body. Talk about relaxation - and a novel bath design, from the individual layout of the surrounding moat to the optional remote-controlled lighting. Even the faucets are treading new and unusual paths: flat, sculptured chrome surfaces echo the pure geometry of the faucet body. The water gushes forth as though from a natural spring, making the ritual importance of water tangible.

Duravit In 1930, Adolf Loos celebrated his sixtieth birthday.

It was on this day that the great architect and father of modernism coined a remarkable phrase:

”The culture of a people is revealed by the nature of its washing amenities and toilets.”

An incontrovertible affirmation of the importance of uncompromising interior design in the bathroom. Perhaps it was in championing this cause that Duravit was inspired to create a washbasin whose famous octagonal shape remains as modern today as it was 70 years ago.

Duravit We need to stop and think about the basic facts of life - a statement of somebody whose design provides answers instead of easy affirmations. For his bathroom series, Starck delves deeper. He’s interested in matter per se, not in the matter of fact. Essence is the consequence. Getting back to basics. A cliché, certainly. But also: A philosophy, a principle of life and design. Philippe Starck perceives the soul of everyday objects and tells us their stories, breathes life into them. He creates ambiences which put our souls to rest. And he retraces our fundamental needs. Freshness, cleanliness, hygiene.

Villeroy and Boch "Amadea" has a true elegance which is timeless! Amadea lends a new lease of life to the historical models which have inspired the collection.

With a well-balanced basic oval form and featuring sleek yet decorative ceramic contouring, the centrepiece of the Amadea bathroom is the washbasin with pedestal, which can be installed in a free-standing position in front of the wall.

Villeroy and Boch Purism does not mean doing without. It means reduction to the essentials and freedom from the superfluous. MEMENTO reduces design to clear lines, allows scope for true individuality and, as from now, is available as a complete bathroom collection: in addition to new washbasin sizes, MEMENTO now also offers a matching WC and bidet. So an integral, purist living concept can now be realised in the bathroom, completely without compromise. The bathroom collection is supplemented by its own furniture programme with a highquality mix of materials, including dark glass and amazakue real wood.

Villeroy and Boch A clear choice. SUBWAY features straight lines and is uncomplicated in terms of use. The characteristically strong washbasins are available in numerous sizes and as built-in versions. The modern SUBWAY WCs and bidets are available as wall-mounted of free-standing models, depending on your individual requirements. |

Sottini A perfect circle was the inspiration for Oracle, a suite designed by Robin Levien RDI, the British designer internationally recognised for his contribution to ceramic design.

The design relationship between each piece is maintained in a graceful yet independent way.

Clarity of line and simplicity of form applies to the entire Oracle collection. The circular shape of the Oracle vessel basin is based on the traditional bowl used on a washstand.
