LESS IS MORE
Precisely short sentences are basic. Less is more said Mies van der Rohe, the architect of the German pavilion at the 1929 World Exhibition in Barcelona. In so saying, he was not taking the easy way out. Quite the contrary. The Bauhaus gives form substance and space and the artist uses this free space. From Barcelona to the present day this has been applied to furniture, lights, architecture and a bath form by Laufen.
A timeless, unobtrusive bathroom, compatible with many styles of living and interior design. Form by Laufen offers durable quality with respect to both product and design. This corpulent basin offers a sound support. Plenty of space to store and place things. A washbasin with character and a fine, chrome-plated rail to take the towel. A ceramic masterpiece. These snapshots show how the rounded basin dips into the ceramic console as if it were itself liquid. Only after having been fi red in the furnace does it solidify into something functional in the form of plentiful fl at surfaces around the washbasin. Modernity loves design it must be conclusive.
The choice of material, construction and colours is crucial. And all the shapes have to serve a purpose. That is the simple prescription for quality life, be it for furnishings, in the bathroom or around the house. Viewed from above, one cannot really take them in. Tongue-shaped WCs and bidets give the impression that they are fl oating in space. But to appreciate their true shape, it is worth dropping to ones knees and viewing them sideways on, when their elegant curves, actual volume and the true beauty of their purpose-made form become apparent. Relaxation for the senses sensuous relaxation. The tub is the retreat from the hurly-burly. The comfortable, nononsense design of the form by Laufen tub comes in several sizes and also with an invigorating whirl system. A longing for clarity. People strive to simplify their lives. A cream crucible and a bar of soap are enough but they must be right. Everyday life becomes a mad rush. Habitats that slow existence down a bit are really valuable.
Form by Laufen shows the clear lines of modernity and how that can today be interpreted. Modern life is inconceivable without furniture. Laufen offers a variety of sets of furniture to go with the form by Laufen range. There is the simply functional Case for form , the classical Form and the puristic chrome rail. Nor should we forget the individual and creative Open.
