Sivida by Starck is Duravit’s first washing-area range with mineral cast material washbasins and bathroom furniture designed by Philippe Starck at an attractive price point. The perfectly balanced combination of gentle and precisely defined elements with a range of color options creates a foundation for individually styled bathrooms with characteristic details.
“Sivida is unique. It is a very essential design but with the colorful twist of life. Pale green, white and dark grey, available to create duo combinations that fit all environments. Elegant, joyful and functional, Sivida is the new collection for our everyday life”, explained Philippe Starck.
On trend: mineral cast material
Sivida is made using DuroCast®, a mineral cast material that is becoming increasingly popular in the bathroom thanks to its velvety look and feel. The robust and durable material with a porous surface is especially easy to clean, making it suitable for use in the private bathroom or guest toilet as well as in the commercial sector. The vanity tops at the side of the washing-area solutions are especially practical for day-to-day use: the elegantly shaped round or angular above-counter basins rest on precisely shaped consoles. Because both elements are made from the identical DuroCast® material, combining them creates a seemingly unified whole. Alternatively, a furniture washbasin in White Satin Matt is available. The above-counter basin and console come in other attractive colors, with Matt Dark Green or Matt Pale Green to choose from. A special feature is the concept of two-tonality: the basins are optionally available with a white interior or exterior to create a special highlight.
Sleekness with star(ck) quality
The gentle aesthetic of cast mineral basins comes up against the straight lines of the furniture to create a harmonious connection. Extraordinary washing areas can be created thanks to the balanced color palette: from subtle tone-in-tone solutions right up to high-contrast applications – the combination options are almost limitless. Metal elements such as a handle, towel holder, or furniture feet, optionally available in Chrome or Diamond Black, accentuate the unique look of Sivida by Starck. The matching mirror with candle-like luminaries arranged on the side and optional practical shelf again echoes the metal and furniture surfaces and is the perfect finishing touch to the washing area. Internal dividers for drawers, which can also be added later, enhance tidiness in the bathroom, while tall cabinets offer additional storage space for towels and toiletries.
Philippe Starck
Philippe Starck, world famous creator with a wealth of inventive ideas, is always focused on the essential, his vision: that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible. This philosophy has made him a pioneer and a central figure of the “democratic design” concept.
By employing his prolific work across all domains, from everyday products (furniture, a citrus squeezer, electric bikes, an individual wind turbine), to architecture (hotels, restaurants that aspire to be stimulating places) and naval and spatial engineering (mega yachts, habitation module for private space tourism), he continually pushes the boundaries and requirements of design, becoming one of the most visionary and renowned creators of the international contemporary scene.
Alternativ gibt es bei Sivida auch Möbel von Designer Christian Werner, die in denselben Oberflächen wie die Starck-Variante erhältlich sind. Die Hoch- oder Halbhochschränke sowie Waschtischunterbauten mit Griffleisten in Anthrazit lassen sich perfekt mit den Waschbecken kombinieren. So können innerhalb einer einzigen Serie Elemente von gleich zwei Star-Designern miteinander verbunden werden.
Ketho.2 – a success story continued
With the Ketho.2 furniture program by Duravit, designer Christian Werner has retained the unmistakable aesthetic of the preceding series with a revamped shape and more contemporary twist. The continuous strip handles in Anthracite are integrated into the front and bring the horizontal lines to the fore, emphasizing the perfect proportions of the overall image. A wide choice of sizes, finishes, and combinable ceramic ranges make Ketho.2 an all-rounder for any planning process – one reason why the preceding series was already very popular with so many people. Thanks to its robustness, extremely high quality and functionality, the timelessness of the form along with the use of a sustainable PEFC (PEFC/04-31-2357)-certified substrat for the fronts and carcass, this furniture range is ideal for everyday use and available at a very attractive price.
