The bathroom has finally come off age as contemporary design companies like Duravit are constantly challenging the perception of bathroom design. As someone who follows the A&D scene closely it is exciting to witness the tectonic shift in this particular design arena where relegating the bathroom to just a utility room is akin to sacrilege.

Happy D. Series. Manufactured by Duravit.

Unlike a piece of furniture, there is a sense of eternalness to a bathroom. Hence it's imperative that a bathroom captures the imagination of its owner without sacrificing the prescribed representations of design ethos. The Happy D. Series from Duravit seems to be well prepared for this creative challenge as it strives to make the maximum use of any available space without compromising aesthetics. Its D-Shaped profile and the classic-archaic lines entrenched across this entire collection make it distinct from the rest of the clique.

This Space saving collection is made up of hand rinse basins, wall-mounted WCs, and bidets. Since big is not always better (well at least not in some cases) the hand rinse basin, measures a surprising 18 1/8" and 19 5/8" wide and features a 9 7/8" or 13 3/8" projection. Therefore it's compact enough to fit in any powder room and doesn't even compete with the space around it. The washbasins are perfectly complemented by the Happy D. vanity units which measure just 17 3/8" wide and compromises of wall cabinets ranging from 19 5/8" wide to 7 1/16" deep. One can also choose between a vast range of mirrors and mirrored cabinets in a variety of finishes: American Walnut, American Cherry, Macassar, Whitewashed Oak, Sycamore, and White high-gloss d©cors. The Duravit Happy D. Series is a product that emerges from subtle design nuances, well-thought detailing, and complete ingenuity. The "classic-archaic lines" not only amalgamate to lend a distinguishing new look but seems to urge the world to enjoy this multi-layered collection. Happy D. is not only responsible for re-thinking bathroom space, but also epitomizes the palpable change in the bathroom industry where one is not afraid to develop their own design vocabulary.
