Smooth ceramics, warm wood, and stone-like cast mineral material | Duravit
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 matte lacquers. Bathtubs are made from a cast mineral material with a velvety, warm feel.
Nowadays, customers can choose bathroom furniture made from a wide range of materials to create a unique bathroom to suit their taste. Consoles and cabinets from the L-Cube range, for example, are available in 27 different colors and finishes. Décors or matte-colored lacquers offer velvety outer surfaces, while the high-gloss colors are more glaze-like to the touch. Wood-effect décors and real-wood veneers have a smooth, uniform surface, or indeed a natural wood grain that is appealing to the touch. The linen décor finish is particularly distinctive. With its textured surface, it has an almost natural and linen-like feel.
Bathtubs are usually made from acrylic. The robust surface is pore-free and white like ceramic, but more pleasant to the touch because the material takes on the ambient temperature. The mineral material DuraSolid A was a pioneer of the matte finish, making brand-new design elements possible. The result: flowing shapes without visible joints and seams as in the Cape Cod bathtub by Philippe Starck, for instance. The material is pleasantly soft and warm to the touch.
