<p>Designed by Alessandro Mendini, the LaCucinaAlessi kitchen scenario stems from the poetry of the curved line and embraces intimate, evocative and emotional factors in addition to those based in aesthetics. The curved line of the kitchen island makes the chef feel like they are wrapped in a warm embrace that promotes sharing with others while providing the privacy that is needed to perform one's own magic rituals in kitchen. Balancing function with style, ergonomics have been meticulously designed into every detail.</p>

<p>Designers Stefano Giovanni and  Wiel Arets have created two classic, yet uniquely distinct, bath collections for Laufen. The "One", designed by Giovanni, turns the bath into a personal sanctuary with soft curves that transcend conventional architectonic lines. The "dOt", designed by Arets, is a highly restrained design that exudes tranquillity through moderation and features a functional signature "dot" on every object within the series. Classically inspired, both collections lend versatility to the design of any bath suite style.</p>
