Kartell by Laufen: Bathroom Collection by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba

Italian brand Kartell, well-known for their use of plastic materials, and Laufen, legendary Swiss makers of ceramic bathroom fixtures, joined forces to bring a new type of collection to the bathroom that they call Kartell by Laufen.

At the design helm were Ludovica + Roberto Palomba who developed an “interconnected ecosystem where washbasins, sanitaryware, faucets, units, shower bases, bathtubs, lights and accessories coexist with the maximum flexibility, changing their appearance like chameleons to meet the taste requirements of all.”

Mixing ceramic items with their rigid lines along with the lightness and transparent qualities of the plastic elements, creates a striking balance of bathroom innovation.

Years of research went into the development of the collection, including the introduction of SaphirKeramik, a new, lightweight material that allows for fixtures to be super thin and weighing half that of normal ceramics.
