Tea ceremony: Duravit x Sebastian Herkner | News | Architonic

Wood, ceramics and structured glass are all used in the Zencha collection, with the latter creating exciting reflections in its interactions with light. ‘It is important to me to use real materials,’ emphasises Herkner, who sees the authenticity of these materials as standing for ‘the harmony of the creation of this bathroom,’ as he puts it. And no less important in the realisation of his designs are the honed skills of the craftspeople who build them.

Everyone can interpret Zencha for themselves,’ he concludes, ‘but the design always offers the perfect modules for implementing timeless concepts.’ In this way, architects and planners can effortlessly design bathrooms in which one can slow down everyday life and find peace in the evening – tea optional.
