Projects
ILBAGNOALESSI – The iconic ILBAGNOALESSI collection, a cornerstone of LAUFEN's enduring success, has continually redefined classic archetypes, seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology with meticulous attention to detail reminiscent of bespoke craftsmanship. Its striking aesthetic design, coupled with unparalleled functionality, marks a paradigm shift in bathroom space conceptualization since its introduction two decades ago.
Kartell • LAUFEN – The boundless compositions offered invite playful exploration of color, transforming the bathroom from a defined architectural space into a dynamic and adaptable collection of furnishings. The clean, angular lines allow for diverse interpretations, while the products themselves, marrying exceptional design with top-tier materials, give rise to a novel archetype of habitat.
LUA COLLECTION – The LUA collection, envisioned by Toan Nguyen for LAUFEN, honors the sanctity of water rituals with its sleek, minimalist design. Inspired by an in-depth exploration of form rooted in our daily interaction with bathing spaces, it embodies a pure, linear aesthetic that resonates deeply.
Made for Life: MEDA – This comprehensive bathroom collection, crafted by Swiss designer Peter Wirz of Studio Vetica for LAUFEN, seamlessly blends crisp, structured lines with gentle contours, resulting in a timeless design that effortlessly elevates private residences and premium hotel and hospitality environments alike.
SAVE! – In 2019, LAUFEN unveiled Save!, a groundbreaking urine-separating toilet poised to transform the eco-friendly management of wastewater. This innovative product, compliant with industry standards and regulations, offers sophistication alongside practicality. While not the pioneer in urine separation technology, Save! distinguishes itself as the first to seamlessly blend conventional toilet aesthetics with its functionality. Its patented urine separation mechanism, ingeniously integrated into the ceramic bowl's design, operates without the need for mechanical or electronic assistance.
VAL COLLECTION – Designed by Konstantin Grcic, it demonstrates the innovative possibilities of LAUFEN's revolutionary SaphirKeramik. With its clean architectural lines, ultra-thin edges, and delicate surface textures, the washbasins in this collection stand out as truly unique. Alongside washbasins, bowls, trays, and a bathtub, Val also introduces new bathroom furniture from the Space range.
SONAR COLLECTION – From washbasins to bathtubs, the SONAR collection offers a harmonious blend of aesthetics and innovation, redefining the modern bathroom landscape. With the globally acclaimed Patricia Urquiola at the helm, SONAR promises to set new standards for elegance, functionality, and sustainability in contemporary bathroom design.
INO – The fresh bathroom collection Ino, envisioned by French designer Toan Nguyen for LAUFEN, seeks to reimagine traditional washbasin shapes. Leveraging the creative potential of LAUFEN's SaphirKeramik, this innovative line showcases sleek lines and lightweight yet sturdy walls, imbuing the pieces with an airy, welcoming aesthetic that defies gravity. Within the collection, you'll find a wall-mounted washbasin, a countertop and semi-recessed basin, premium bathroom furniture, and two stylish bathtubs.
THE HOME COLLECTION – The HOME COLLECTION features a series of objects born from the creative exploration of ceramic materials by artists and designers. These items represent miniature architectures, characterized by their organic forms and the geometric clarity achieved through the flawless properties of ceramics.
THE NEW CLASSIC – The New Classic, a fresh bathroom collection from Laufen, is the result of a collaboration with Marcel Wanders studio. Tasked with reimagining traditional styles, this collection leverages Laufen's innovative, durable, and ultra-thin ceramic material, marrying the studio's creative vision with Laufen's expertise in material technology. The range includes a variety of pieces, such as washstands, washbasin bowls, toilets, bidets, bathtubs, faucets, mirrors, accessories, and furniture, all showcasing a blend of design excellence and functional superiority.
