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 matt lacquers. Shower trays and 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 matt-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 and shower trays 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 matt 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.
In contrast, the Stonetto shower tray features a stone-like yet uniform texture. The silky-soft surface is beyond compare: it is matt and at the same time anti-slip and scratch-proof. Stonetto is made from DuraSolid Q, a high-performance cast mineral material that comes in the colors Anthracite, Sand, Concrete and White.
