| DURAVIT Wins GOLD at the Design Awards 2011 On Tuesday 11th October 2011, Duravit was among 400 professionals from the kitchen and bathroom industry invited to attend the annual Designer Awards 2011. Held in the prestigious London location of Lord’s cricket ground, the awards luncheon celebrated excellence in professional residential design and innovation awards for the very best in new product design. Duravit was awarded the GOLD standard in the bathroom category for Nahho. Launched earlier in March 2011, at ISH in Frankfurt, the Nahho flotation bath is the ultimate hydrotherapy indulgence with options including lighting, a whirlpool system and underwater music. All the fittings are concealed under a hinged cover, in white or matt graphite finish, to ensure that the design lines are as calming as the weightless floating experience. The sound module uses Bluetooth to establish a connection with an MP3 player and, with the side of the bath acting as a sounding body, transmits music via structure-borne converters allowing it to be enjoyed both above and below water. |
