The company operates internationally with the Duravit Design Center designed by Philippe Starck and has eleven factories in Germany, Egypt, China, France, India, Tunisia and Turkey. The company employs nearly six thousand people worldwide. Duravit bathrooms - sanitary ceramics, bathroom furniture, bathtubs, shower trays, wellness systems, electronic armchairs, fittings and accessories of international designers such as Philippe Starck, Norman Foster, Matteo Thun and Cecilie Manz - are characterized by high design quality, which the company defines as " good design ”. Duravit makes no compromises when it comes to functional quality and caters to a wide range of tastes and needs. This is why Duravit products have been selected for major projects around the world, from the Fondazione Prada Rema Koolhaas in Milan to the Louvre in Abu Dhabi by Jean Nouvel. Sustainability is another important feature of Duravit, whose production processes are based on energy-saving methods such as water treatment and heat recovery technologies. Thanks to these activities, the company obtained environmental certificates ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and PEFC.

History of Duravit The history of Duravit began in 1817 with Georg Friedrich Horn, founder of a stoneware factory specializing in the production of tableware, and later sanitary ceramics. A new production department was responsible for the company's success, which since 1960 has been selling its sanitary ceramics under the name Duravit. Duravit's most important meeting with design was the partnership with Philippe Starck which started in 1994 and produced Starck 1, a complete bathroom line, line of sanitary ware, furniture, bathtubs and accessories that has remained on the market for almost 30 years and has rightly earned its position. . place among modern classics. The idea behind the product's success was the contemporary reinterpretation of the historical shapes of the bucket, bathtub and washbasin, which became the inspiration for the vase, bathtub and washbasin. In addition there are practical and spacious bathroom furniture with clear lines and no handles.

Duravit, designer bathrooms for everyday use "Good Design" Duravit meets today's challenges, while remaining modern and functional even when needs change and lifestyle in the world. This goal has been achieved in several collections of sanitary ceramics that are now celebrating significant anniversaries. Next to Starck 1 is the Architec, designed by Frank Huster in 1993 with the clear intention of creating a product line that does not follow trends but becomes synonymous with continuity. Clean lines, elementary architectural elements of a circle and a square and spatial dimensions are the key elements of the family of washbasins, toilets and bidets that have for decades fulfilled the desires and preferences of architects and interior designers. The same goes for DuraStyle, designed by Matteo Thun & Partners

, this family of deliberately discreet sanitary ware blends harmoniously into any bathroom context. Designed by Cecilie Manz and inspired by the shape of the wash basin, the Luv series softens the Scandinavian purism of soft forms and raw geometries with clean, thin edges in a wide range of colors, from classic white to light shades, natural greens and grays. One of Duravit's most awarded products is the Happy D.2 series, designed by Sieger Design, winner of the Red Dot Design Award and the IF Design Award. This line includes twelve models of washbasins and thirteen variants of bathtubs, simple in form, extremely geometric, and at the same time sophisticated. Over the years, the offer has been expanded to include wellness systems such as mini-pools, whirlpools and designer saunas. One of them is Inipi, presented by Duravit in 2009, whose name refers to the ancient Indian tradition of "sweat kennel", which inspired Austrian EOOS designers to create a bright, modern sauna that could be used to arrange a bathroom or living room. Later, EOOS added the Super Compact Sauna to the InipiB family. The 120 x 120 cm small spa is easy to assemble and disassemble and can be placed virtually anywhere in the Inspirowane.eu .com online store.
