Laufen’s showroom in Madrid opened in 2016, in the typical settings of a bourgeois villa. The concept idea was to define and use a modern language, to provide a new interpretation to the interiors, one that would be more flexible and international. Every room is framed with a tubular natural black iron frame, embellished with a gold galvanized finish in the corners. The colours and materials take inspiration from the typical materials used in the design of the bathroom.

Patricia Urquiola proposes to Laufen a collection of basins and sinks characterized by innovation and elegance. The use of the Saphir keramik allowed for a reduced thickness in the products, without renouncing to the typical resistance of ceramics. The collection is distinguished by its thinness and uniformity, which give lightness to the weight. The cannettata texture covers the edges of the products, accentuating the volumes severity, and allowing for an unconventional refinement. The rigorous geometries accentuate the plans and enhance the movements of the water: the inclined surface of the fund leads toward a transverse slot which hides the discharge with a simple gesture.
