Arranged
like a Japanese lunchbox : with the new Duravit Bento Starck Box bathroom
series, Duravit and designer Philippe Starck are making an extraordinary design
statement to meet the most exacting architectural demands. Inspiration is drawn
from the traditional Japanese bento boxes that are subdivided into several internal
compartments by
separators. “The Bento Starck Box collection is the
start of an elegant serenity,” said Starck, describing the washbasins and
bathtubs of the series. With intelligently divided wet and dry areas, the
clean, clearly structured washing areas and bathtubs open up countless options
for personal design.
Bento
Starck Box is a part of Duravit Artisan Lines. The Artisan Lines feature
outstanding and iconic design products with a manufacturing character that
Duravit develops with renowned international designers. The design and
manufacture of the Artisan Lines require an extraordinary level of knowledge,
craftsmanship, and precision.
Ample space for good order
The
spacious Bento Starck Box washbasins offer practical, convenient and ample
storage areas. All personal care products and accessories can be placed within
easy reach. The new series, consisting of a washbasin, toilet sets, and
bathtub, features a new, clear-cut design and is perfectly matched to different
variants and dimensions of the bathroom furniture and faucets of the White
Tulip by Philippe Starck series.
Innovative materials
The
Bento Starck Box single washbasins are made from DuraCeram®, and the
double washbasins from DuroCast UltraResist. As such, Duravit impressively
demonstrates how a range of different materials can be used to produce
unconventional designs.
As
a material, DuraCeram® enables above-counter basins with an
extremely thin rim thickness to be created that are robust and extremely easy
to care for. The highly effective, antibacterial ceramic HygieneGlaze ensures
an optimum level of hygiene. Baked into the basin, the glaze kills around 90
percent of pathogens within just six hours, and approximately 99.9 percent
after 24 hours. In addition to the toilets, all ceramic washbasins in the Bento Starck Box series are also exclusively
available with HygieneGlaze for the first time. Duravit offers a lifetime
guarantee for all ceramics.
Variety at the washing area
Alongside
the 650 mm-wide washbasin, the Bento Starck Box collection comprises
above-counter basins in a range of sizes, all available in White and White
Satin Matt: round variants with a diameter of 460 mm, and rectangular versions
with a width of 550 mm as individual basins or, for two faucets, in widths of
1140 mm and 1340 mm – made from DuroCast UltraResist. The faucet is mounted
inside the inner basin on all models, avoiding unnecessary wet surfaces.
Bathtub with integrated
overflow for a spa-like experience
The
freestanding acrylic infinity bathtub, sized 1800 x 900 mm, is ideal for a
spa-like experience in your home bathroom. With ample depth and sufficient
space for two people, it invites bathers to immerse themselves blissfully in
water. A gently rounded head rest completes the wellness experience. A tapered
water channel prevents a build-up of water and can be used as a storage area
for accessories. This is an additional practical feature when it comes to
cleaning because the water or individual drops stay within the washbasin when
the faucet is turned on. The bathtub is supplied to the customer fully
preassembled with leg frame and drain, meaning that no additional accessories
are required.
Matching toilet sets
Bento
Starck Box toilet sets are available that are harmonized with the design of the
ceramic and bathtubs, including a compact model with a projection of just 480
mm and the HygieneFlush version with a projection of 570 mm. The range also
includes a floor-standing, close-coupled toilet and matching bidets. The
integrated push buttons on the seat with the gentle, silent lowering mechanism
mean that it can be easily removed and cleaned.
