Domus hosted the official UK launch of new tile collection ‘Piano’ from Italian design house Mutina during Clerkenwell Design Week, 22^nd – 24^th May 2018. Created by French designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Piano is a striking, colourful partially glazed porcelain tile collection available exclusively from Domus in the UK.

With the Piano collection, Mutina re-discovered the technology of double charged clay, enabling them to obtain different textural effects in a wide range of colours. The slight variation in size and specific use of glaze creates a ‘vibrating’ effect, similar to the shimmering image of reflections on the water, creating an optical illusion of a non-geometrical figure.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec describe Piano:

“The tiles can be fitted together at will, to create endless layout possibilities. Their random disposition is mysterious and creates the impression of a total continuation of space. This systemic rhythm always creates the space for originality.”

The collection is made with coloured clays to which layers of glaze are added in different widths. There are five base colours: white, grey, blue, green and pink and two rectangular sizes (7.5 x 30cm and 10 x 30cm). The tiles are arranged by colour and are grouped together by the lead colourway in the same box, this allows for the greatest variation and ability to create a vibrant fitted tile layout. Piano is suitable for floors and walls, both indoors and outdoors.

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.

Morgan Swivel Lounge Chairs

Morgan Pimlico 144 Swivel Chairs

The Pimlico 144 fully upholstered swivel chairs, launched at Sleep 2017, are the most recent additions to Morgan’s collection of British made furniture. The Pimlico collection started as a bedroom chair designed by Morgan Studio, with a small footprint and has developed to include feature high backs and a variety of size options. Featuring smooth curved lines and a unique oval seat pad, the new fully upholstered lounge chair offers an extension to the curvaceous luxury of the collection, with a concealed swivel base.

Morgan Siena Swivel Chair

Also available with a subtle swivel is the Siena 650T lounge chair. With a larger footprint these lounge chairs are perfect for areas requiring a solid and comfortable chair that maintains its elegance through a flowing curved profile and tapered turned legs. A non-swivel option is also available; both chairs have the additional feature of a buttoned seat.
