LAUFEN prioritises design, functionality and sustainability in its latest collections
Renowned for its expertise in crafting bathroom solutions since 1892, LAUFEN continues to redefine holistic bathroom culture through innovative products that combine sustainability, design excellence and cutting-edge technology.
At the forefront of LAUFEN’s offerings is ILBAGNOALESSI (pictured), which epitomises LAUFEN’s commitment to balancing form and function. Designed by Stefano Giovannoni in collaboration with design brand Alessi, this collection reimagines classic bathroom archetypes with fluid, sculptural forms. Launched in 2002 and reimagined in 2022, ILBAGNOALESSI showcases the possibilities of Saphirkeramik, an innovative material unique to LAUFEN. Strong yet malleable, Saphirkeramik enables the creation of soft, fluid washstands and basins with a seemingly weightless appearance, pushing the boundaries of design and technological craftsmanship.
Another standout collection is the MEDA collection. Created by Peter Wirz of Studio Vetica, MEDA presents a modular system of ceramics, taps, furniture and bathtubs with sleek, essential shapes. Designed for adaptability, MEDA seamlessly fits into various bathroom environments and styles. “The calm, soft and gentle design language of MEDA forms the foundation of the extended Laufen brand experience,” says Wirz. The collection embodies LAUFEN’s vision of a cohesive bathroom experience, blending elegance with functionality.
