Bathtubs with a door

A bathtub with door is particularly impressive in terms of convenience and comfort since you don't have to climb over the edge of the tub. With almost floor-level access, this design not only makes it easier to get in and out of the bathtub but it also prevents slipping on wet floors.

Finishes

There are many customization options for your bathroom - the possibilities go far beyond simply choosing different products from our various design series. Above all, the finishes in your bathroom play a major role when it comes to transforming the room into a place of well-being that is perfectly customized to your own needs. Duravit offers a wide range of customization options with its extensive color concept, with finishes such as polished gold or matte black.

The bathroom as a tactile experience

Humans imbue places with emotions. The bathroom of yesterday evokes memories of cold tiles and functional ceramic objects. The surfaces in today’s bathroom, however, are much more varied: furniture comes in a range of finishes such as textured wood or satin matt lacquers. Shower trays and bathtubs are made from a cast mineral material with a velvety, warm feel.

An orderly bathroom generates a sense of well-being

The bathroom is a place of cleanliness and relaxation where we spend a good part of each day performing our daily hygiene rituals. An orderly and well organized bathroom enhances this sense of well-being, and the addition of the right products combines orderliness with smart design.

Loft houses with industrial flair

The Walzmühle site is a strong demonstration of the variability of the Luv series. The simple elegance of the products fits unobtrusively into the different styles, creating countless design opportunities.

MOB Hotel Paris

The MOB Hotel Paris Les Puces is located in the pulsating suburb of Saint-Ouen just north of central Paris. This a lively and unconventional building not least because CEO Cyril Aouizerate has made it his mission to redefine the standard “hotel”.

FEM Tiny House

The young and interdisciplinary architecture and design studio FEM has set up shop on the site of an old freight railway yard in Aarhus, Denmark. Here the not-for-profit organization “Institut for (X)” provides workspace for a range of disciplines and initiatives as a kind of laboratory for urban experiments.

feel nature

Feeling close to nature in the bathroom gives us a sense of calm and relaxation. Daylight, a landscape view, decorative plants, organic forms, and authentic materials create a natural experience that is pleasant to the eye and to the touch.

Happy D. 20 years

When Duravit and sieger design presented the Happy D. bathroom range at the ISH 1999, they introduced a modern archetype with a contemporary design language that is now considered a classic. In the last 20 years, the Happy D. success story has advanced through a number of stages, repeatedly demonstrating new, forward-looking influences that have little time for fleeting trends.

Hygiene in the bathroom

Visible and invisible impurities lurk especially in the bathroom. Duravit offers a wide range of products and features to optimize bathroom hygiene for a new, comfortable way of well-being.

An organic, all-embracing work of art

The new National Museum has been opened in the Emirate of Qatar in March 2019. The spectacular building by Frenchman Jean Nouvel is intended to evoke associations with a desert rose. The architect explains that he was looking for a symbol for the National Museum - to evoke Qatar’s heritage and future - and considers his design to embody both. The ring-shaped building comprising 53,000 square meters of floor space and rising up to a height of 40 m is sited directly next to the historic palace of Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani, the former Emir of Qatar. This landmark has been redesigned and integrated into the museum as the central exhibition location.

Hotel One & Only, Reethi Rah, Maldives

The One & Only lends the word “luxury” a whole new meaning. Situated on the North Male atoll of the Maldivian island of Reethi Rah, the resort is a pearl in a chain of coral atolls, lagoons and white beaches.

Savannen 12, Gotland

Gotland is a popular Swedish holiday island. It boasts a mild climate and bountiful nature. The coast with its craggy cliffs and solitary sandy beaches and the windswept countryside are ideal for long walks and bicycle trips. Limestone was quarried on Bungenas from 1910 to 1960, after which the peninsula was assigned to military use until around 10 years ago. With its deep limestone quarries, bunkers and derelict houses, the landscape here exudes a rugged beauty.

Soft color, big impact

Light color shades create inviting bathrooms. The increasingly popular “Off White” shade – a mixture of white and gentle beige – gives rooms a modern, urban feel. Duravit uses shades of white in its new Duravit Viu/XViu and Happy D.2 Plus bathroom ranges to create expressive style collections. This subtle, understated look opens up scope for individual design and combination options.

Bathroom design for now and forever

When sieger design developed the design classic Happy D for Duravit at the end of the 1990s, their vision was to create a modern archetype. Michael Sieger translated the familiar basic form and style elements that informed our notion of a sophisticated bathroom into a contemporary design language. Since that time, the Happy D success story has advanced through a number of stages, repeatedly demonstrating new, forward-looking influences that have little time for fleeting trends. The presentation of Happy D. at the ISH 1999 was an important milestone in the partnership between the two companies, which has now been running for more than 30 years.

Functional designer bathrooms

Bathrooms that are planned with the future in mind and feature uncompromising design and technical innovations, that's the promise of today’s luxury bathrooms. Whether flush-fitting showers or spacious and barrier-free room planning: features that enhance coziness and comfort in younger years also enable independence and quality of life later on. The timelessly modern bathroom can be a flexible companion through all phases of life.

A wealth of forms for individual bathroom design

A uniform formal style is essential for a harmonious overall look in the bathroom. Whether with clear edges, soft curves or a mixture of the two – the Duravit ranges lend individual flair to any bathroom thanks to their timeless yet modern contours – even on rectangular designs.

Timeless Autumn

When the summer with all its vivid colors starts to fade, the color combination of black, white and gray provides a welcome contrast. This triad of complementary shades blends perfectly with the cool clarity of autumn and winter. Add selected accessories and matching materials and this wintry look becomes a timeless favorite. Light and reddish woods are an especially good match – a design option that fulfills the desire for warmth during the colder seasons.

Think big: Big little bathroom

Small floor plans do not mean you need to compromise on design freedom. With a creative layout and high-quality designer products, guest bathrooms and cloakrooms can be transformed into oases of luxury. Where floor space is at a premium, the focus is on products in compact dimensions and their arrangement within the room.

Design that creates space

Duravit’s extended DuraSquare series represents the fusion of minimal design with subtly integrated storage space. New additions to the range include extra washbasin sizes, an asymmetric washbasin and a double washbasin, each of which can be combined with a vanity unit or metal console. Different combination options with the XSquare furniture range are testament to DuraSquare’s versatility and convenient storage possibilities.

High End Bathroom

Spacious rooms are the key to boundless dreams of the perfect bathroom: large rooms give free rein to design ideas and enable the implementation of customized concepts.

Storage space is good

A comfortable bathroom doesn’t need a lot of space – what matters are creative ideas and the right products. There are numerous different ways to create additional storage space in the bathroom and find a home for everyday bathroom items both large and small.

The perfect showering area

A quick freshen-up or soothing relaxation – a perfect shower area offers both. The trend in new buildings and modernizations is moving towards generously proportioned, preferably flush-fit walk-in shower areas that offer comfort and safety in equal measure. With the right planning and product selection, the shower zone can become the favorite part of the bathroom.

Titisee with Black Forest flourish

Duravit contributes to an innovative toilet concept in the Black Forest. A new-style sanitary facility in the center of the popular resort of Titisee was opened in April by Hochschwarzwald Tourismus GmbH. The brainchild of Managing Director Thorsten Rudolph and fully fitted out with Duravit products, it offers state-of-the-art hygiene and convenience for the ever-growing number of international bus tourists that visit the town. With over 400,000 international guests in 2018 – several thousand visitors a day – a creative and future-proof solution was required.

The Opus

She was a master of organic architecture and the first woman to be awarded the coveted Pritzker Prize, the Nobel Prize of architecture. Today, all over the world, Zaha Hadid's buildings spiral up into the sky, bridge rivers, streets and squares, or nestle into the edge of Russian mountain plateaus. Apparently weightless, her concrete constructions stack layer upon layer of projecting and set-back storeys, seamlessly link assembly line production with office work in Leipzig's BMW factory, and transform ski jumps and exhibition halls into studies on dynamics.

Christian Werner

As someone who says of himself that he is driven more by the heart or a gut instinct, it is important for Christian Werner to combine the rational with a sensual quality. In all his furniture designs, he tries to give emotions a shape of their own, to translate them into material.

Cecilie Manz

“I deal with things in which I see a meaning. My starting point is always a clear explanation, and that is where the justification of my creations can be found. Function is essential, and if I can’t articulate a good reason for a new product, then it’s better not to create it in the first place.” - Cecilie Manz

Philippe Starck

When Philippe Starck and Duravit carried out their first joint project in 1994, it was love at first sight, but neither realised how successful this cooperation would be. The breakthrough came with the famous "Starck barrel", which to this day is one of Duravit’s best sellers. "I always said that the bathroom has to become a wet living room. But no one understood me. Apart from Duravit. That's why I love Duravit!"

sieger design

Duravit still influences bathroom design. This is largely thanks to the collaboration with Dieter Sieger, which commenced in 1990. A starting signal for us as a manufacturer of designer bathrooms. With the \"Darling\" ceramic series, we set standards and, looking back, can see that we changed the industry. There's no doubt that this required a certain degree of courage, but mainly a love of sustainable design and timeless forms, something that is still apparent today in every Duravit product.

Phoenix Design

Duravit and Phoenix Design have been working together for years on innovations for the bathroom. \"Good design is like a puzzle – there are lots of requirements from completely different directions – the task is to take these and create a cohesive whole.\" With Caro, Pura Vida and P3 Comforts, the two partners of many years' standing have certainly made a good job of it.

Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez

Matteo Thun was born in Bozen (South Tyrol) in 1952. After studying at the Oskar Kokoschka Academy in Salzburg, and at the Faculty of Architecture in Florence, in 1981, he was one of the co-founders of the legendary Memphis Group. Its members questioned the pure functionality of design objects.

Kurt Merki Jr.

His bi-cultural childhood and upbringing played a fundamental role in shaping his creative approach. Kurt Merki Jr. creates dreams in the form of versatile products that offer solutions for all manner of lifestyles. The Vero complete bathroom collection that he designed speaks volumes with its timeless elegance, and has been the recipient of three awards in quick succession.

Frank Huster

Frank Huster, born in 1939, completed his studies of architecture and interior design in Stuttgart. In a shared office with Peter Hübner, from 1970 to 1978 he also worked on developing cardboard toys, folded structures, and cardboard screens for the Munich Olympics.

EOOS

EOOS, the likeable Vienna-based design trio, could pass as a boy band. These three designers do not view their ‘threesome’ approach as a hindrance – in fact, they see it as a bonus, as bringing together three different personalities continually gives rise to surprising objects that shape the spaces they inhabit.

Toilet Paper Facts

Sustainability is a much-discussed issue nowadays. However, there’s one small area - the toilet - which often doesn’t get much of a mention. This is because our behavior on the toilet, and especially our use of toilet paper, is far from sustainable. In this respect, Germany is in front all the European countries: significantly more toilet paper is used here than in France or Italy. This isn’t due to a different approach to hygiene, though, but because bidets are much more widely used in these countries. So could washing with water be a sustainable way to protect the climate? And how high is the consumption of toilet paper in Germany exactly?

Saving energy and water in the bathroom

Everyone can save energy and water – every day and everywhere. But how can you put this into practice simply and effectively in your daily routine? Are there any useful tips for saving water and energy? And how can bathroom faucets and showerheads help?

The family bathroom

Drawer in – and out. Mirror cabinet open – and closed. Water on – and off. It’s all go in family bathrooms in the morning. Every move has to be perfectly orchestrated, every utensil within easy reach. So it’s always good to have little problem-solvers at hand to make sure that everyday routines go like clockwork. Functionality and comfort play a key role here. Duravit offers a whole host of sophisticated solutions for bathroom users of all ages, particularly in the washing area. The varied and customizable Brioso design options are excellent value for money.

Duravit Rimless®

DuraLAB

Ceramic

Ceramic is one of the most traditional materials around. And yet we keep finding ever more fascinating forms for the "white gold". For 200 years Duravit has gained valuable experience in the manufacture of ceramic products and continued to find things to improve. Nowadays \"Made by Duravit\" is regarded as the highest quality promise, guaranteeing the best possible design and innovative technology.

Wood

The bathroom – is a place where we live. Duravit is a brand that is at home in the bathroom. After all, we have been producing top-quality sanitary ceramics and design for 200 years.
