03.05.2022 | iF DESIGN AWARD 2022 for White Tulip, D-Neo with faucets, and Duravit Magazine
• Bathroom ranges, faucets, and magazine win awards
The two complete bathroom ranges White Tulip and D-Neo, the faucets of the D-Neo bathroom series, and the News Magazine #13 from Duravit have been honored with the iF DESIGN AWARD 2022 from the internationally renowned design label. The iF DESIGN AWARD is awarded once a year by the world’s oldest independent institution for form and design, iF International Forum Design GmbH.
The complete bathroom ranges White Tulip and D-Neo were decorated in the “bathrooms” category – as were the faucets of the D-Neo bathroom range. In the “Publications” category, issue no. 13 of the Duravit News Magazine won over the 132-strong, independent, international expert jury. There were a large number of applicants: The jury selects the winners of the coveted quality seal from among 11,000 entries from 57 countries.
Organic design
With White Tulip, the French designer Philippe Starck has created a holistic bathroom collection that has already been honored with the Red Dot Award and German Design Award. From bathtubs, washbasins and furniture, toilets and bidets, to matching mirrors and a complete collection of faucets, the exceptional form of all the components within the series echoes the organic silhouette of a tulip in bloom. The monolithic, free-standing ceramic washbasin is particularly eye-catching.
Geometric shapes
In March 2021 Duravit first unveiled the now award-winning D-Neo range by Belgian designer Bertrand Lejoly. The D-Neo complete bathroom range stands out with its straight-lined and geometric forms. Thanks to the range’s attractive price point, new target groups can enjoy Duravit products. The design series as a whole and the faucets in particular have already won the German Design Award and the Red Dot award.
Straight-lined faucets with additional functionality
In fitting with the D-Neo design, the D-Neo faucets also boast a straight-lined and geometric design. The characteristically narrow, vertically positioned handle is standard throughout the entire range. Sustainability is key: on the D-Neo washbasin mixers with FreshStart, only cold water flows in the central position to start with. Hot water is only added when the one deliberately moves the handle to the left. The energy-intensive production of hot water is limited to situations where it is actually needed.
The News Magazine #13
The award-winning complete bathroom ranges from Philippe Starck and Bertrand Lejoly feature prominently in the sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing News Magazine #13 from Duravit, which has also already been honored with the German Design Award. Over a total of 116 pages, innovations such as the patented HygieneFlush toilet flushing technology from Duravit are presented alongside the bathroom ranges. Around 100,000 copies are printed and refined every year, the magazine’s classy feel helping to breathe life into the editorial content. The News Magazine gives dealers and end customers in over 40 countries the opportunity to immerse themselves in Duravit’s latest bathrooms.
