1) Sebastian Herkner designed Zencha to celebrate mindfulness and traditional craftsmanship
Our daily lives consist of a series of rituals. If you appreciate the ritual of life and perform it with respect, life will become colorful. This is the design concept behind the Duravit Zencha bathroom collection: to make the bathroom a place of mindfulness and ritual cleaning.
Designed by international design rookie Sebastian Herkner and inspired by traditional oriental rituals and craftsmanship, the Zencha bathroom collection combines a unique countertop basin with minimalist furnishings. The washbasin and bathtub are refreshingly rounded and have sloping edges that slope outward. Double-storey bathroom amenities are made of DuraCeram® and DuraSolid® materials and are complemented by sleek combined geometric bathroom furniture made of wood and textured glass for generous storage and extreme tactility.
