This washbasin is part of the LAUFEN Pro bathroom collection which offers good design in many sizes from the small washbasin to the 1050mm wide washbasin – there are over 30 Laufen Pro washbasins in the range.
The LAUFEN pro Swiss designer Peter Wirz from the design group, Process Design, has created a bathroom series optimized to the requirements of the ceramic manufacturing process.
It proves that minimalist forms, high quality and optimum function need not come with a high price tag if they are cleverly produced. The democratic design of LAUFEN pro is the modern answer to the claim that everyone should have a right to good form.
Peter Wirz, Process Design says “Laufen Pro is a design product that has been purposefully created to be good value and which has been optimised for the ceramics manufacturing process”.
Laufen has produced four semi-recessed washbasins within its bathroom collections for your design requirements.
