• Increased appreciation of craftsmanship, durable design, and high-quality materials
• Changing concept of luxury: pared-down design meets sleek elegance and individual accents
• “Brown Cocoa” as the on-trend color for stylish comfort

In an era defined by economic challenges and the tangible effects of climate change, increasing numbers of people long for a safe haven in their own home. And the bathroom can play a special role here: as an intimate “safe space”, it provides security and satisfies the growing desire for “me time”, sustainability, and durability – if the right bathroom solutions are in place.


A harmonious sense of calm with balanced colors and shapes

In our current era, which experts describe as the “great disruption”, taking a deliberate decision in favor of outstanding design, high-quality products, and a return to classical craftsmanship is becoming ever more important. At the same time, our immediate environment is gaining in relevance as we are spending more and more time within our own four walls. Consequently, the bathroom at home becomes a place for emotions – after all, a place of retreat designed to appeal to aesthetic sensibilities while meeting sustainability demands acts forms an essential counterpoint to the uncertainties outside, while the interplay of unusual colors and shapes fulfils the human longing for harmony and calmness. The bathroom thus plays a central part in engendering a new, positive attitude to life.

Sivida from Philippe Starck is Duravit’s perfectly formed take on this trend: the elegantly shaped round or angular above-counter basins rest on precisely shaped consoles. Because both elements are made from the identical DuroCast® material, combining them creates a seemingly unified whole. By combining contemporary authenticity with functional, straight-lined shapes and a harmonious color palette including White, Dark Gray, and Pale Green, Sivida by Starck satisfies the need for greater individuality and wellbeing.


Moments of quiet luxury: design understatement that speaks for itself

In a society that is becoming ever louder, more extravagant, and bolder, retreating into our own home enables us to rediscover the value of sleek elegance, subtle resilience, and traditional craftsmanship. The phenomenon of “quiet luxury” underpins this aspiration for the understated. This trend is notable for pared-down designs and high-quality materials that exude calm and harmony – while still allowing some playfulness with the creative details.

With the new version of the timelessly elegant Starck barrel design, Duravit is updating this desire for subtle luxury in the bathroom for 2024 with clarity and vision: while the innovative c-bonded technology of the anniversary edition exudes a precise, refined elegance, the varied choice of glossy and matt ceramics and furniture lacquers embodies the idea of “quiet luxury” better than almost any other range of bathroom furniture.


Brown is beautiful: the return of natural shades

“Brown is the new black” – in 2024 this manifesto has extended beyond the world of fashion into interior design. “Brown Cocoa” is the on-trend color for the bathroom: warm tones take center stage and lend each room a natural, earthy look.

Aurena from Duravit combines this aesthetic of stylish comfort with architectural precision and a perfect balance of high-quality materials and exquisite details. The refined surfaces of the complete bathroom range from Antonio Citterio, optionally available in textured wood, convey the organic warmth of Brown Cocoa, while integrated vanity tops and dividers ensure order and transparency.
