Black is back in Duravit’s matte black bathroom products—an assortment of pieces that highlight the dramatic effect created by this most mysterious of colors.

First up, Philippe Starck’s DuraSquare. This is a thin, sleek black metal frame housing an economical rectangular sink for a clean look and functional design.

Next come accessories by Starck. Among the Starck T collection we find a slick circular towel ring and cool soap dish that looks like a futuristic wall-mounted luminaire.

Then there’s the XViu metal console. This stunning black frame surrounds an equally dramatic tapering tub in purest white—the contrasting colors performing a juxtapositional dance for a timeless yet contemporary look.
