Unashamedly nostalgic and yet timelessly modern 1930 is a bathroom classic. In 1930, Adolf Loos celebrated his sixtieth birthday. It was on this day that the great architect and father of modernism coined a remarkable phrase: “The culture of a people is revealed by the nature of its washing amenities and toilets.” An incontrovertible affirmation of the importance of uncompromising interior design in the bathroom. Perhaps it was in championing this cause that Duravit was inspired to create a washbasin whose famous octagonal shape remains as modern today as it was 70 years ago.
