LAUFEN Palomba Collection

January 8th, 2010

The most recent addition is the third since the collection was launched in 2005.

The streamlined and elegant designs of the new ceramic objects in the Palomba Collection, three standard-sized and one small washbasin, are once again the creations of Italian designers Ludovica+Roberto Palomba. They skillfully push the shapes possible with natural ceramic materials to the limits. And bathroom specialist Laufen rises to the challenge with typical, high-quality, Swiss precision. Laufen has also taken the debut of the new washbasins as an opportunity to present the magnificent Palomba Collection in styles called organic, soft and pure. “Organic” encompasses all pieces with organic lines, “soft” is the name given to objects with gentle, geometric shapes, while “pure” is synonymous with the marriage of soft, appealing lines with a clear, yet precise line.
