PuraVida Bathroom Series
- Available at: Duravit, Phoenix Design
- More Info: duravit.com
Forget flat screens above the toilet and LED-illuminated tubs. When we retreat to the bathroom it’s a time to relax without distraction (and, of course, wash our hands afterwards). PuraVida is Duravit’s second collaboration with Stuttgart-based studio Phoenix Design, and the milky white ceramic series—which includes basins, toilets, tubs, and showers—creates a smooth, clean look that even stray dollops of shaving cream and splatterings of toothpaste can’t sully.
