The extraordinary design potential of LAUFEN’s revolutionary SaphirKeramik reveals itself in the new bathroom collection Val, designed for the Swiss bathroom specialist by star designer Konstantin Grcic from Munich. Simple architectural lines, extremely narrow edges and fine surface structures make the washbasins of this collection globally unique. The Val range includes washbasins, washbasin bowls, trays, bathtubs and new bathroom furniture from the Space collection.


The rectangular, wall-mounted washbasin, is available in 6 widths from 450 to 950 mm. Its trademark, straight geometric lines and walls with small radii and gently rounded corners emphasise the humane and friendly character of the delicate SaphirKeramik.


Val also includes a rectangular and an asymmetrical washbasin bowl as well as a partially concealed washbasin, each of which is equipped with built-in storage space and has a tactile surface texture that creates semi-dry areas. Also belonging to Val are circular and rectangular storage trays made of SaphirKeramik, both of which have tactile surface structures. All washbasins are available with or without overflow.


Suited to the SaphirKeramik objects, Konstantin Grcic has designed a compact, free-standing bathtub in the dimensions 1600 x 750 x 520 mm. The oval tub weaves a sense of harmony into the bathroom with its lightness and elegance, created by its extremely narrow edges, and fits perfectly with fine washbasins. As LAUFEN manufactures the bathtub from the solid surface material Sentec, it can be crafted as a single layer in one mould without sacrificing integrated overflow, while also reducing the bathtub’s weight.
