Duravit USA has launched White Tulip, a new holistic bathroom collection designed by Philippe Starck. White Tulip is inspired by the organic silhouette of a tulip in full bloom. Its aesthetics and ergonomic design are meant to add sophistication to bathrooms.
The collection includes furniture, washbasins and bathtubs, and future additions are set to come. The collection also includes technologies like soft-closing and push-to-open drawers.
Washbasins
The freestanding washbasin evokes a tulip in bloom. Available completely in ceramic or with an integrated cabinet at the base in any of the collection's furniture finishes, this fixture commands the central focus of any bathroom. The freestanding basins can be plumbed to the wall or the floor to accommodate water connections. The collection also has delicate outward sloping-edged above-counter basins. Furniture washbasins and handrinse basins are also available.
Furniture
A full suite of furniture is available in a range of sizes and finishes. Wall-mounted and floor-standing vanities can be paired with matching semi-tall cabinets with two or three glass shelves for added storage. Another furniture element is the floor-standing chrome console with wooden shelves. Finishes available are Nordic white, white, taupe, stone grey and graphite in either high-gloss or satin matte lacquer as well as solid oak or American walnut. The satin matte finishes have scratch resistance and anti-fingerprint technology.
There is the option to include a circular chrome handle in a contrast to the matte or high-gloss lacquers and solid wood surfaces. The design is echoed in the towel holders available singularly or as a pair on the floor-standing console.
Bathtubs
The collection includes three freestanding bathtub designs. Mirroring the blooming aesthetic of the washbasins, the freestanding bathtub design is available in an ovular shape in both a compact size (63 inches) and regular size (70 ⅞ inches). A round freestanding bathtub with a diameter of 70 inches also is available.
