Val SaphirKeramik
Bathroom collection
Munich-born Konstantin Grcic has created a collection in SaphirKeramik comprising two bowls, a built-in washbasin, an elegantly minimalist range of wall-mounted washbasins as well as pared-down, movable accessories - two multifunctional trays and a bathtub made of Sentec. The products’ forms are architectural and not too expressive. Grcic uses these super-fine forms to create exquisite surface textures and patterns. His in part asymmetrical bathroom objects thrive on different levels and refined transitions. The tactile surfaces and patterns are both decorative and functional. They create semi-wet areas, which items can be placed on.
iF Gold Statement
The design of the Val SaphirKeramik bathroom collection provides a dynamic interaction between object and user through its use of different levels and its flowing transitions. Its archetypal design language invites the user to engage with it intuitively. An excellent way to express the use of a new material and to push it to its technical limits.
