- Rainfinity / Showerpipes, Overhead and Hand Showers - Allocating well-being. The daily shower signifies a break from everyday routine. The design of Rainfinity has been created to offer corresponding scenarios for these moments. This shower collection, which also includes shelves and a separate flush-mounted control, boasts versatile functionality. The concept goes hand in hand with intuitive operation and a sense of comfort that ensures an intense showering experience, offering wellness benefits. The overhead shower, for example, has an innovative wall connection, featuring an adjustable angle and replacing the traditional shower arm. Furthermore, the shoulder jet serves to shower the body, without necessarily causing the face and hair to get wet. The special jet types are aimed at enhancing the showering pleasure, such as the microfine PowderRain jet, the curved jet discs of which feature newly arranged outlet openings to diffuse the water at different intensities. The design with its clear and reduced forms allows a seamless integration of the fittings into modern bathroom interiors. The matte and subtly structured surfaces are pleasant to the touch and, together with the curved shape of the jet disc, create a warm, homely feeling. Last but not least, Rainfinity showcases a highly contemporary surface colour, with the matte white of the showers creating a noble-looking contrast to the graphite-coloured jet discs.

- Ecostat E WAP CoolContact / Bathtub Thermostat with CoolContact - Distinctive contours lend the Ecostat E WAP bathtub thermostat a modern appeal. The rosettes are positioned almost invisibly behind the thermostat, supporting a clear design style. The innovative CoolContact cooling technology and the integrated SafetyStop ensure a safe bathing experience, as they prevent the thermostat housing from heating up and ensure that the water from the shower is pleasantly tempered and not too hot.
- Edge Washbasin Tap - Precision of form. The cubic shape, discovered as a formal element by the avant-gardists in the 20th century, has played an important role in both art and design, and it has also been instrumental in the development of AXOR Edge. As a “luxurious symbiosis of geometric bodies and ultra-precision”, this collection of basin taps exudes a solid yet at the same time refined appearance. The complex production of the taps makes use of a diamond tool, as commonly used in the laser and aerospace industries, for precision-milling chamfers that meet at an exact angle of 45 degrees. The otherwise smooth and bump-free surfaces facilitate a perfect reflection of light. The highly refined structural details of the fittings are achieved by faceting the surface of solid brass blocks to micrometre precision with the diamond tool. The faceting is done line by line in several steps to create highly precise pyramid shapes that showcase a fascinating play of light and shadow. In addition, these elegant washbasin taps also allow for customisation in different ways, with a huge selection of refined FinishPlus surfaces to choose from. A special PVD (physical vapour deposition) process is used to apply an additional metal layer. This high-tech process lends the surface more resistance and longevity, but above all, colour and brilliance.
- XSquare / Bathroom furniture series - In conjunction with Kurt Merki Jr., Duravit has created a furniture range that is especially attuned to the design of the DuraSquare washbasins. The striking feature is the quadrant-shaped chrome profile edging the furniture. On the floor-standing model, the transition to the leg frame is absolutely seamless. The chrome profile accentuates the edges of both variants. It continues the corner radius of the washbasin, creating harmony and a striking sense of independence.
- CLOSER / Single-Lever Mixers Collection - One of the design objectives of this collection of single-lever mixers was to develop a form language that would establish a dynamic relationship to the element of water. „Closer“ directs the water through a cylindrical and, depending on the model, straight or slightly curved spout. In combination with clear, flowing lines, the soft basic shape yields an unmistakable design. The slightly oval, gently rounded lever lies pleasantly in the hand and is easy to use.
- thermostatic module Select / Bathroom fixture - The functional counterpart of the AXOR Showers is the AXOR thermostatic module Select. Its integrated, unobtrusive design and continuous surface fit unobtrusively and elegantly into the room. Inspired by ripples on an endless surface of water, the generously proportioned (42 millimeters) and clearly labelled Select buttons allow users to precisely switch between jet types and showerheads – a purely mechanical procedure. Easily controllable volume and temperature knobs complete the 90 millimeter wide module. Available in 15 different AXOR FinishPlus surface colors.
