Duravit Artisan Lines
Headquartered in Germany, Duravit enjoys an outstanding reputation for its comprehensive portfolio of expertly made products, from basins, WCs, and baths to furniture, shower systems, and taps. Artisan Lines introduces Duravit’s most recent collections created by international design stars, each manufactured in its own facilities with great attention to detail.
Displayed in C.P. Hart Waterloo, the Duravit Artisan Lines collection includes Vitrium, Qatego, Bentro Starck Box, Zencha, and White Tulip.
Vitrium
Vitrium is a contemporary range of furniture and basins created by award-winning German designer Christian Werner, distinguished by its modern and timeless design idiom, interplay of shapes, and natural sense of warmth.
Vitrium furniture features clean lines, metal frames, reduced depth cabinets, and subtly backlit, semi-transparent glass fronts. Its basins are manufactured in Duravit’s DuroCast UltraResist material, using the mineral cast process to create robust and easy-to-clean products with a velvety matt finish.
Qatego
Qatego is a bathroom collection by Studio F.A. Porsche, founded in 1972 by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the designer behind the iconic Porsche 911 sports car. Qatego features simple and sleek shapes, with furniture and sanitaryware inspired by the smooth lines of water-worn pebbles.
The collection includes a range of materials, such as ceramic basins, furniture made with sustainable PEFC-certified wood, natural stone, and composite baths made from DuroCast Plus and sanitary acrylic. With a vast selection of customisation options, Qatego allows for unique expression and personalisation in the bathroom.
Bento Starck Box
Bento Starck Box is a distinctive bathroom sanitaryware range created by world-famous designer Philippe Starck. Inspired, as its name suggests, by the dividers in a traditional Japanese bento (lunch) box that separate the interior into several compartments, the range features basins with intelligently divided wet and dry areas for practicality, convenience, and storage.
Zencha
Designed by internationally renowned Sebastian Herkner and inspired by Japanese bathing rituals, Zencha’s basins and baths feature gently rounded shapes that gracefully curve towards their rims. The collection’s baths feature square and rectangular shapes, expertly made from Duravit’s elegantly matt DuraSolid, whilst the above-counter basins are constructed from DuraCeram, another durable ceramic material from Duravit.
White Tulip
Philippe Starck’s inaugural complete bathroom range, White Tulip, is inspired by Starck’s love of natural forms. This Duravit collection features sophisticated sanitaryware, brassware, soft-close furniture and complementary heated mirrors with app-controlled lighting, all of which mimic the opening of a blooming tulip’s petals in an almost sculptural manner.
“We are so pleased to be the first and only showroom in the UK to exhibit a dedicated area for Duravit’s Artisan Lines, beautifully paired with Franz Viegener brassware, another first-to-market UK launch of impeccably designed product with mirror-like finishes and precision engineering.”
Rachel Martin, Merchandising Director
