WELL-DESIGNED SOAP DISPENSER CREATES A GREAT USER EXPERIENCE

The award-winning Reframe Collection bathroom accessories range, by Unidrain is expanding with the launch of a new exclusive soap dispenser.   The carefully considered design, excellent quality and sharp attention to details characterizes the dispenser, guaranteeing a heightened user experience. The dispenser – like all the components of the Reframe Collection – is first-class Danish design for the bathroom.

A key feature is the soap dispenser’s angled nozzle, which dispenses a carefully measured quantity of soap  which lands in your hand and not on the washbasin. Intelligent details like this are the hallmark of the entire Reframe Collection. User comfort is ensured by a non-slip base, robust construction and stable operation.

The soap dispenser is available as both a countertop model and a wall-mounted version, and like the other designs in the bathroom series, it is available in brushed stainless steel, polished stainless steel, as well as PVD-coated brass, black and copper.

The Reframe Collection exudes Danish design and creates a consistent style in the bathroom. The series’ minimalist lines harmonise beautifully with the HighLine Colour design drain.

 

 

KEUCO IXMO PURE WASHBASIN FITTING

Setting a consistent bathroom furnishing style beginning at the washbasin

IXMO washbasin fittings: Always the right choice

The popular fitting design in the shower and on the bathtub is consistently reflected through to the washbasin and bidet fittings – leaving no further desire for a consistent bathroom design with IXMO fittings.

IXMO washbasin fittings

IXMO basin fittings are available as a classic single-lever mixer or as a modern wall-mounted spout. The IXMO PURE, IXMO SOFT and IXMO FLAT designs offer the possibility of a finely coordinated bathroom design with the differently nuanced design language of the spouts and handles.

  • IXMO PURE focuses on classic beauty of form with a round, straight spout and rectangular handle.
  • IXMO SOFT, with its rounded spout and rounded handle, is aimed at lovers of softer shapes.
  • And IXMO FLAT combines round and angular shapes in sensual harmony.

A round or square cover plate is available for the combination with matching each of the three different IXMO fittings in the shower and on the bath tub.

In addition to classic chrome, the washbasin fittings in a black matt finish set powerful accents and take on a strong role where the bathroom design is concerned. For all those who love the colour black in the bathroom and want to add extravagance to the interior design with striking accessories, KEUCO BLACK SELECTION offers matching accessories for different furnishing styles.

KEUCO STAGELINE

Illuminated storage compartments set the scene for decoration and favourite products

Furniture range STAGELINE made by KEUCO: homely staging

The STAGELINE furniture collection made by KEUCO brings a homely atmosphere to the bathroom. Here, the furniture takes centre stage, combining timelessly beautiful design with homely accents. The visual highlight of the series is an open, illuminated storage compartment that skilfully showcases decorative items and favourite products. The warm white LED lighting with 3,000 Kelvin is controlled externally via the room switch. Practical equipment features include the power socket integrated in the compartment and the USB and USB-C charging point.

Different colour and style worlds

As a comprehensive KEUCO furniture range, designed by the design office Tesseraux + Partner, Potsdam, STAGELINE is linearly modern and simply elegant in a tone-in-tone look. The glass front and body of the furniture are always kept in one colour, radiating calmness and harmony. The natural colours are completely in, keeping up with the trend, beyond any fashion. Gently restrained, warmly homely and yet expressive. Friends of the colours white and anthracite will also find the counterpart for their style world here. The glass fronts of the furniture give every bathroom a noble accent – whether brilliantly shiny or velvety matt. There are four glass surfaces to choose from: white or cashmere glossy as well as Inox or Vulkanit satin.

Handleless and filigree glass fronts

The STAGELINE furniture collection also proves its uniqueness in its attention to detail. The slightly protruding glass front at the top also serves as a handle for opening and closing. The delicate glass fronts, with their softly rounded corners, are striking and echo the design language of the matching PLAN ceramic washbasin. The pull-out fronts are equipped with a soft-closing mechanism and close gently and silently.

Flexible storage system for overview and order

The vanity unit proves to be a real tidying talent. The pull-out unit with optional drawer partitioning ensures intelligent and optimal use of space in the unit. The desired interior compartment can be flexibly put together in four different sizes for cleverly organised storage space. The elegant dark inlay mat is an ideal non-slip surface.

Combination with different washbasins

White, flush-fitting PLAN ceramic washbasins or round STAGELINE ceramic countertop washbasins in glossy white or black can be combined with the STAGELINE washbasin bases – according to taste and personal style. Together with the round STAGELINE countertop washbasin, the vanity unit also offers a generous, additional storage surface. Single-lever mixers can be placed to the right or left of the washbasin. Alternatively, a wall-mounted spout fitting can also be combined.

In combination with the matching PLAN ceramic washbasins, the STAGELINE vanity units open up a wide range of possibilities for washbasin design. In six different widths from 460 mm to 1200 mm, the washbasin ensemble offers the right solution for every bathroom – from the small guest WC to the large family bathroom, as a single washbasin or double washbasin, combinable with wall-mounted spout fittings, single-lever mixers or three-hole fittings. The PLAN ceramic washbasins impress with their very flat, filigree design in a soft shape. The generous shelf surface merges smoothly into the washbasin centre. The ceramic valve cover harmonises perfectly. As an extremely easy-care material, ceramic porcelain stoneware meets the highest demands in terms of resilience and hygiene.

Other homely STAGELINE furniture

STAGELINE offers three additional pieces of furniture for larger storage space requirements and a special desire for a homely atmosphere: a tall unit, a single-door unit and a two-door centre unit. The tall unit looks very elegant with its illuminated shelf in the middle. As with the vanity unit, bottles and jars or decorative elements can be illuminated. All cabinets feature soft-close hinges and high-quality, easy-care glass shelves inside.

In combination with the fittings and accessories made by KEUCO, diverse and multifaceted possibilities open up in bathroom design.

Zencha by Sebastian Herkner

Zencha by Sebastian Herkner: A homage to mindfulness and traditional craftsmanship
Perfectly balanced bathroom design that flatters the senses with tactile surfaces

  • Inspired by Japanese rituals and craftsmanship
  • Organically shaped sanitary objects
  • Minimalistic, modular storage furniture
  • Selected finishes from wood to textured glass
  • High-quality materials such as DuraCeram® and DuraSolid® for optimum look and feel
  • Bathtubs with a pool-like feeling

The outstanding design of the Zencha bathroom collection by Sebastian Herkner was inspired by traditional Japanese rituals and craftsmanship and combines unusual above-counter basins with minimalistic furniture. The most striking feature of the basins and bathtub is the rounded shape that opens into a graceful, outward-curving edge. The dual-walled sanitary objects made from DuraCeram® and DuraSolid® are paired with modular, geometric bathroom furniture with an elegant frame. The furniture is made from materials such as wood and textured glass and not only offers plenty of storage space, but is also extremely pleasant to the touch. “I’ve always wanted to develop a bathroom series for Duravit,” said the designer from Offenbach. He can now take his place in the roll-call of renowned designers such as Philippe Starck and Cecilie Manz who have designed collections for the German manufacturer.

Striking & delicate: the design
The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the house. It is increasingly becoming a place of retreat and ritual. With its balanced shapes, colors, and materials, Zencha appeals to all of our senses. The inspiration for the design are hand-made ceramic teacups that the designer discovered in Japan. Their gentle, organic shapes are transposed on to the sanitary objects in abstract form. Designed as cambered rectangles, they are bulbous at the bottom and taper upwards with an elegant curve. The materials used are equally sensual, with basins manufactured from DuraCeram®. This material enables above-counter basins with an extremely thin rim thickness to be created that are robust and extremely easy to care for. Seamlessly manufactured from DuraSolid®, the bathtubs impress with their pleasantly warm feel and elegant matt aesthetic.

The straight-lined design of the furniture creates an intriguing contrast to the organic sanitary objects and complements the collection’s subtle material and color concept. The outstanding design feature here is an elegant frame just six millimeters thick. It creates a uniform shadow gap that lends the furniture a graceful and effortless feel. “You can only manufacture technically sophisticated solutions like this in a consistent quality if, like Duravit, you have your own manufacturing facilities with the corresponding expertise and high levels of craftsmanship,” said Herkner.

Multi-faceted & functional: modular furniture elements

The furniture of the Zencha collection is designed in a modular fashion and can be deployed in a variety of ways, for instance as open shelves or drawers with push-open and self-closing technology. Combined with the above-counter basin, they become a beautiful centerpiece in the bathroom. As a storage area for everyday (bathroom) items, they give structure to the room and imbue coziness into various styles. The carcass and frame of the furniture come with an easy-to-clean surface and anti-fingerprint effect and are available in the subtle colors White Super Matt, Taupe Super Matt, and Graphite Super Matt. The cabinet fronts add a playful element and are offered in a range of variants. While the options in Natural Oak and Oak Black produce a warm and tactile effect, white plate glass and black textured glass introduce a degree of sensual elegance into the bathroom. Herkner has further designed a separate mirror that emulates the contour of the round basins. Its organic form is accentuated by an all-round LED strip, and the light is turned on and off via a sensor on the bottom edge of the mirror.

Elegant above-counter basins
The sanitary objects made from DuraCeram® consist of two differently shaped above-counter basins: a curved square measuring 420 x 420 mm and a rounded rectangle measuring 550 x 390 mm – in each case with or without a tap panel – in the colors White, White Satin Matt, Gray Satin Matt, and Anthracite Matt. The square variant of the above-counter basin with its ceramic cover is a particular talking point in the bathroom, and is also covered by Duravit’s lifetime warranty. It can be combined with toilets from a range of Duravit lines.

Bathtubs with a pool-like feeling
The shape of the square version of the free-standing bathtub, made from DuraSolid® and measuring 1250 x 1250 mm, is drawn from the square above-counter basin. Bathers are invited to immerse themselves blissfully into the deep water, an experience reminiscent of a Japanese Onsen bath. The bathtub is additionally available in two compact versions measuring 1600 x 850 mm and 1800 x 900 mm, optionally with the air whirl system integrated into the base for a gentle massage effect.

Made in Germany

The Zencha collection combines delicate shapes with high-quality, sustainable materials such as PEFC-certified woods. It comes in a wide range of variants and its shapes, colors, materials, measurements, and equipment options can be individually configured for various interior design settings. Both the sanitary objects and the furniture are manufactured at Duravit’s production facilities in Hornberg and Schenkenzell in the Black Forest and are finished by hand. Surfaces and edges of the furniture are painstakingly sealed to be water-resistant and are impervious to splashes and high humidity. Optimum stability of the tall cabinets is ensured via 8mm-thick rear walls that are bonded in a milled groove.

Sebastian Herkner, who spent over four years working on the project and made several site visits with his team, said: “Duravit represents tradition as well as expertise in the design and technical sectors.”
