IN THE BATHROOM OF THE FUTURE
With the Viu ceramics range, the XViu furniture range, and the matching bathtubs, Duravit
and sieger design present a complete bathroom range that exudes forward-looking design.
The post-industrial elegance of the pieces emerges from the interaction of soft, organic forms
with a precise geometry and details finished to a previously unattained level of perfection.
Sharp contrasts arise from surfaces that combine the finest ceramics, glass and metal
with matt lacquers or high-quality woods. The new range covers the entire bathroom: the
washing, bathing and toilet area.
Fully glazed from beneath, the Viu washbasins, available in five sizes as well as a
handrinse basin, are also ideally suited as individual solutions. Their shape follows the
design of the c-bonded washbasin. The alternative variants for the washing area, with
furniture washbasin, built-in washbasin, or above-counter washbasin and matching vanity unit
with pull-out compartment or two
drawers, feature striking V-shaped
lateral aluminum profiles, which are
also available in Champagne Matt
and Black Matt. This lends the XViu
furniture range its striking contour.
Tone-in-tone as well as contrasting
options can produce different
combinations using a variety of
materials. A range of high-quality
real-wood, lacquer and décor finishes
create a wealth of style collections
from “Silver” to “Dark”.
A further highlight of the XViu series is the free-standing bathtub, an eye-catching
centerpiece. Here, too, the prominent metal frame with the familiar V-shaped profile comes
in Champagne Matt or Black Matt as a contrast to the high-gloss white acrylic. It supports
the free-standing bathtub (two sizes: 160 x 80 cm and 180 x 80 cm), itself a precise rectangle
when viewed from above, with an ergonomic and organic free form interior.
The new D.1 and D.1z faucets, along with the electronic D.1e variant, are perfectly
matched to the design. The XViu bathroom program is available in 34 finishes and also goes
well with the ceramic series VeroAir, ME by Starck
and P3 Comforts. The Viu ceramics can also be
combined with the XSquare, L-Cube and Brioso
furniture series. www.duravit.com
