Duravit’s ME by Starck bathroom range puts the spotlight on individuality

In combination with the vanity units from the XSquare series, a vanity unit ensemble of modern elegance and value is created

Minimalist design is the art of focusing on the essentials. It is the ability to create an illusion, the sense of desirability around a simple item specifically tailored for an individuals’ own sense of style. It is a challenge that required the skills of Philippe Starck. With his new ME by Starck range for Duravit, the French creative has succeeded in developing a collection that on only satisfies the desire for pure aesthetics, but can be introduced into all manner of style worlds, achieving the greatest possible range and scope for individual design.

Bathroom design begins with the washing area. The ME by Starck washbasin with its asymmetrically positioned basin provides a generous shelf, and the new compact handrinse basin is a perfect solution for the smallest of rooms. The ME range hasn’t been designed to dominate the room, but rather to increase the scope for individualisation and the personal touch. For example the new furniture washbasin in a width of 1230mm, is available with a choice of one or two tap holes and can be combined with the Duravit L-Cube, XSquare, XViu, Ketho, Brioso, and XBase furniture ranges.

Duravit has harmonised the range’s look and feel, from the ceramic glaze through to the furniture finishes, perfection down to the last detail. All ME by Starck washbasins and the matching toilet are now available in the new White Satin Matt ceramic finish. Their velvety finish exudes a sophisticated elegance and creates contrasts with glossy individual pieces.

Interior system in solid Walnut

With six versatile washing area solutions from 430mm to 1300mm, ME by Starck is a minimalist range for both private and public areas. The slender rim that is found on the toilets and urinals serves as the recurring design element. The delicate edge gives the washbasins a light, almost rimless appearance, while their inner basins are conveniently deep.

Striking chrome profiles run through the entire XSquare furniture series

The vanity basin in four different widths (from 630mm to 1230mm) with its distinctive lines is especially flat and offers generous shelf areas, while the console basin can be combined with a vanity unit or various consoles. The washbasins with pedestal or siphon cover appeal thanks to their pure, minimalist design and balanced sense of proportions.

Elegant:  matt ceramics and matt body surfaces

In addition to concentrating on the design, Philippe Starck and Duravit focused on modern technology: the attractive toilets and bidets in the range are designed as sleek units without visible wall fixings. Thanks to Rimless® technology, the open design of the flushing rim offers additional convenience, as does the new SensoWash Slim shower-toilet seat. It features precision hinges that are easy to remove, which means the ceramics can be thoroughly cleaned with ease.

The new furniture basin with dimensions 1230×490mm lives up to the core idea of the series – maximum individualisation. Available with either one or two tap holes.

The clear, focused design of this range is also evident in the ME urinal. With its characteristically delicate rim, the urinal is an elegant yet practical addition to private and public bathrooms alike. The range also features bathtubs, shower trays and accessories designed by Philippe Starck. Combining perfectly with the new L-Cube furniture range, ME by Starck lends the modern bathroom a clear aesthetic look with the French designer’s unmistakable signature, turning the desire for individualisation into reality.
