Christian Werner is a designer who lives and breathes the topic of bathrooms and sanitaryware. He has worked with Duravit on innovative bathroom solutions for many years. After six furniture projects he has now designed his very first washbasins – which interact with console vanity units and washbasin vanity units. The range juxtaposes materials with interesting visual and tactile qualities: while the washbasins manufactured using the mineral cast process are made from DuroCast UltraResist, the console vanity unit comes with a fine metal frame and a choice of fronts made from backlit glass, wood, or various décor finishes. The result is a natural-looking ensemble that radiates coziness. “The starting point for this design idea was a rigorous interrogation of the habits we take for granted. With Vitrium I sought to redefine the design of the bathroom and the associated routines. As well as the kitchen and living room, for me the bathroom, too, is a place of comfort and refuge,” said Christian Werner
