Duravit has supplied more than 1,000 Starck 1 vanity units to Dubai, as well as almost 4,000 WCs and bidets and more than 1,600 baths and whirlpools.

In the last 20 years, Duravit based in Hornberg in the Black Forest, has successfully pursued a specific design strategy and, in collaboration with high-profile names such as Philippe Starck, Sieger Design and Lord Norman Foster, has developed bathroom and wellness products that stand out not only on the strength of their unusual design but also their good value for money. offer everything in bathroom design, ranging from jeans to dinner jacket says Gary Dart, Managing Director UK, Duravit.

The Starck 1 vanity unit with its classic barrel shape was designed for Duravit by Philippe Starck in 1994. He was inspired by primitive forms, such as the washing bowl, bucket, hand pump and nail. Over the years, theStarck barrel has become Duravits best-selling item of bathroom furniture and it is now moving into the luxury skyscraper. This very pleasing contract is worth millions, says Franz Kook, Management Board Chairman of Duravit.
