Bathing in colour

As the bathroom continues to evolve into a personal sanctuary, LAUFEN is at the forefront of innovation, with a visionary approach to bathroom design, where tactile, visual, and olfactory experiences intertwine to enhance daily rituals. The VAL Luminex bathtub embodies this philosophy, offering an experience that blends design, technology, and wellness. This innovative freestanding bathtub, crafted from a groundbreaking translucent material, integrates advanced LED technology to project light and colour into the water. With customisable settings designed to enhance relaxation and wellbeing, the bath allows users to immerse themselves in a multi-sensory retreat.

For centuries, light and colour therapy have been used to promote mental and physical wellbeing. The VAL Luminex bathtub integrates these elements seamlessly. The LED screen embedded in the base of the bathtub projects vibrant colours throughout the water, offering nine different ambient settings, including forest, ocean, and desert themes. With a sleek remote control, users can effortlessly adjust the brightness, intensity, and colour combinations, creating an environment tailored to their preferences.

The bathtub’s innovation extends beyond lighting. LAUFEN has developed a new translucent version of Sentec, a mineral casting material. The single-wall construction in this material not only makes the bathtub lighter than traditional double-walled models but also introduces a opportunity to create a striking, fully translucent aesthetic.

Used for the first time in the VAL freestanding oval bathtub by German designer Konstantin Grcic, this material is not only visually stunning but also practical. It has a velvety texture and retains heat for longer durations to enhance comfort.

Bath time isn’t just about relaxation—it’s also a moment of fun, especially for families. With its dynamic lighting effects, the VAL Luminex bathtub transforms the bathing ritual into an engaging and interactive experience for children, making it an enjoyable part of the day for all ages.
