As a result, the bathroom collections on display was focused on the topics of design, cosiness and atmosphere. Once again, SaphirKeramik has played a starring role in Laufen’s fair presentation. The extremely slim material enhances the spatial impact of the bathroom, and has the design potential to give the bathroom a new decorative quality with tangible surface textures as well. To make the most of this potential, Laufen collaborated with trendsetting designers like Patricia Urquiola, Konstantin Grcic, Ludovica+Roberto Palomba. The company developed both SaphirKeramik products and furniture with them that open new horizons for architects and bathroom designers when equipping premium, cosy bathrooms.
