Laufen KARTELL • LAUFEN 2.0 Floor-standing vanity unit

Ferruccio Laviani has worked on one of the most recognisable icons of Kartell design: Anna Castelli Ferrieri’s Componibile, which he has re-interpreted as a column washbasin with the ability to integrate the function of storage.‎ This evolved product preserves the essence of the original but expands its expressive language and range of applications.‎ What emerges is a vision that extends beyond the individual product and offers a new way to see and enjoy the modern bathroom.‎ Kartell and LAUFEN announce the opening of a new chapter in their partnership: Bathroom Collection 2.‎0 is designed to interpret the bathroom not only as functional space but as an environment dedicated to design, wellbeing and quality of life.‎ Kartell chose the creative talent of Ferruccio Laviani to give shape to this new concept.‎ Laviani is one of Kartell’s most representative designers and has worked with the brand for over thirty years.‎ This latest phase in the collaboration begins with another advance in technology: VITREON steel, an innovative glazed material with extraordinary expressive qualities.‎ VITREON steel offers new perspectives in design, especially in terms of colour – an aspect of unique importance to Kartell’s identity.‎ The new material plays a key role in the quest for a more modern, extended design language for the bathroom and provides a great opportunity for new forms of expression.‎ The dialogue between steel, colour and home architecture redefines the way in which we experience the bathroom and brings this essential room into line with the Kartell lifestyle, as a coherent extension to contemporary living space.‎ Rather than a mere product line, the new collection represents a whole new approach to home life.‎
