Duravit C.1 tap fittings win the iF GOLD AWARD 2018

March 2018, Duravit has received the iF DESIGN AWARD for the 41st time. The iF GOLD AWARD acknowledges the design excellence, execution, consideration of environmental standards, functionality and innovations of the new C.1 tap fittings range. This award again confirms Duravit’s high level of design expertise. In addition, Luv, Vero Air c-bonded and the BioTracer were honoured with the iF DESIGN AWARD.

The C.1 design range perfectly reflects Duravit’s design language. The ergonomic handle with a recess underneath feels comfortable in the hand and permits a precise operation. Sophisticated details, such as the gap between the base plate and handle which has been reduced to a minimum, add to the elegant look.

Four different heights for a range of basin dimensions, three-hole tap fittings in two heights and wall-mounted fittings with a spout in two lengths provide comfort at the washbasin as well as matching design. C.1 also offers an ideal tap fitting solution for the bidet, shower and bathtub.

ON THE LEVEL

ON THE LEVELINFINITY I-LINE

The INFINITY I-Line eliminates the need for unsightly drains within a wet room environment. The state of the art shower floor, designed by On The Level in house experts, provides an elegant seamless finish. An extremely gentle sloping floor directs the water flow towards an almost invisible channel that edges the wall.  This subtle linear design provides one of the most minimalist wet room shower floors to date.

The INFINITY I-Line gives any bathroom a luxurious look and feel, the lack of a highly visible drainage system not only visually increases the feeling of space but physically gives the bather more standing room.   Manufactured in the UK from high grade stainless steel the INFINITY I-Line is easy to install, there are four different stock size formers each with multiple configurations and built in gradients, so no sitting water.  For larger rooms bespoke design options are available with dual outlet channel and the formers can manufactured up to 2000mm in length.

The design will work on all floor types, it has both left and right hand configuration options allowing the INFINITY I-Line to merge seamlessly into all types of floor and guarantees the latest look when it comes to high end wet room design.

DURAVIT

The bathroom is a place where we often feel the need for structure and clarity. Where hygiene and cleanliness play a vital role, the colour white not only creates a brighter room but also a feeling of space. The positive qualities of pure white can be multiplied by overlaying tone on tone: a matt DuraSolid bathtub, glistening DuraCeram ceramics, and a white vanity unit can produce a harmonious light ambience. Towels or other accessories, such as patterned glass items, can generate interesting contrasts.
