Duravit’s ceremonious bath collection Zencha, inspired by Japanese tea culture | News | Architonic

Equally as puristic as the collection’s sanitary elements is the accompanying modular storage furniture series which includes open shelves and drawers with push-open and self-closing technology that Herkner designed with the same high standards of craftsmanship, and which lends the bathroom a contemporary degree of homeliness. ‘Producing such technically complex solutions with consistent quality only works if, like Duravit, you have your own production facilities with the corresponding know-how and high craftsmanship,’ says Herkner. In concrete terms, this is reflected in the use of elements made of wood and structural glass, which give the furniture a special, high-quality feel. Their linear style, with a fine 6 mm slim frame, contrasts with the curved design language of the ceramics. Meanwhile, a shadow gap makes the furniture look elegant and light.
