Extraordinary bathroom furniture: How to create personal aesthetics with shapes and materials

Mix of materials and shapes for extraordinary bathroom furniture.
Warm wood – harmoniously grained and gently curved – cool stone, and angular faucet: the perfect symbiosis of material and shape creates exceptional bathroom furniture.

Anything can be beautifully shaped

In the past, faucets were round and made of chrome. Sinks were white, oval, and made of ceramics – base cabinets were square and inconspicuous. Today, almost anything is possible: exceptional bathroom furniture with unusual shapes will give you the personal aesthetics you want as a design lover:  

  • Asymmetry stands out: Who says that the sink has to sit in the center? There are many arrangement options – even unusual ones. Furniture can have the shelves not just to the right or left of the sink. There’s also space in the front and back. Asymmetrical sinks stand out – whether with a countertop sink or a built-in variant.  
  • Round doesn’t just mean round: Rounded sinks are one thing. Entire sinks and exceptional bathroom cabinets in round design, not square, are a statement in themselves. But not everything is circular: Play with elliptical or oval styles for even more contrasts in your design language. 
  • Geometry meets organic shapes: When sinks are designed on the borderline between geometric and organic shapes, things get exciting: flat, angular ceramic surfaces then frame gently, flowingly contoured sinks. If they were filled without any edges, the transition between solid and liquid would be barely perceptible. 
  • The octagon is a brilliant shape idea: simple on the outside, with shimmering facets on the inside, reminiscent of a cut gemstone. Today, elaborate craftsmanship is used to create sinks that bring the octagon into ceramic form. Fascinating geometry creates design for the highest demands here ­– and turns your sink into a work of art. 
Even glass walls can become unusual bathroom furniture.
With perfect use of materials and executed to perfection, simple shower enclosures can become exceptional bathroom furniture. This glass element seems to float in the space.

New and unusual materials for extraordinary bathroom furniture

Today, there are few limits to design possibilities. With modern casting processes and innovative materials, bathroom ceramics producers are breaking new ground in the manufacture of bathroom sinks, bath tubs, and toilets. The result is unusual furniture in flowing shapes without visible seams or joints. However, classic materials are also effective when used and processed in unusual ways – especially in contrasts and mixes.

Shimmering beauty: Metal
As a material for bath tubs and shower tubs, enameled steel is a classic. It is increasingly gaining acceptance for sinks as well. What’s new here is that the enamels contain metal. This creates a captivating, metallic, dark iron look: darkly shimmering and highly reflective. But pure metal is also a real eye-catcher in countertop sinks – whether in hammered chrome brass or shiny gold polished brass. Depending on the light incidence and the viewing angle, the surface reflects the surroundings in an iridescent way. 

Almost magical: Glass
Furnishings made of glass create a perfect symbiosis with their surroundings. Glass bath tubs are completely transparent when unfilled. The minimalist, underwater lounge chairs integrated in some models seem to float in space. Colored glass can be put to very impressive use in sink cabinets and bathroom shelves. A combination of transparent side panels and fronts with opaque materials for storage surfaces creates highly effective, colorful shadows and lets furniture and space merge into one. 

Exceptional by nature: Wood
Wood on sinks is a classic, providing natural warmth. For extraordinary interiors, go for root wood. With its bizarre shapes and lively grain, it makes a great contrast in a purist room. Because of its high oil content, teak is particularly suitable for wet areas – as a sink countertop and even lacquered for sinks. Highly unusual: shelves made of whole logs that also serve as towel bars.

Special shapes and materials make very special bathroom furniture

Softly curved, showing a clear edge or brilliantly designed as an octagon: Special pieces of furniture with a strong design language are design statements in their own right. New and classic materials in unusual applications do their part to give you the custom aesthetic you want for your bathroom.
