Some say that black is the new white for the bathroom! Laufen’s 2009 tribute to black is their award-winning IL BAGNO ALESSI dOt Collection in matte black. Conceptualized by Dutch Architect Wiel Arets for Alessi, the collection features basins, toilets, furniture, bathtubs, shower enclosure and accessories.

All of the range features a round, dot-like recess. The dot is a functional characteristic, similar to the dot on the “i” in this unique bathroom series. Arets started out with the premise that individual elements were not to detract from the actual purpose of the bathroom. The collection features asymmetric shapes, most of which have declining straight lines on their front and left side, giving them a lighter look that also makes them stand out. As Arets explains, “The accumulation of the various components is based on the individual strength of its several parts. Each has to serve its purpose without overpowering the whole.”

This new collection in a matte jet black finish offers a fresh take on modern bathroom ware - making the bathroom a focal point that is sleek, extravagant and avant-garde.
