LAUFEN Expands The New Classic Collection with Three Distinctive Relief Patterns.

LAUFEN continues to redefine contemporary bathroom design with The New Classic, an award-winning collection created in collaboration with renowned Dutch designer Marcel Wanders. Blending timeless elegance with cutting-edge ceramic innovation, the collection offers architects, designers, and homeowners a complete bathroom solution that bridges classic inspiration and modern performance.

Originally conceived as a collection that would stand apart from both traditional and contemporary design conventions, The New Classic showcases LAUFEN's proprietary SaphirKeramik technology. This advanced ceramic material allows for exceptionally thin profiles while maintaining remarkable strength and durability, resulting in washbasins with refined, sculptural edges and a distinctive architectural presence.

Building on the collection's success, Wanders introduced three dimensional bas-relief patterns that transform the washbasin surface into a decorative design element. Sculpted directly into the SaphirKeramik, each pattern offers a unique aesthetic expression:

• Ornamental features intricate detailing inspired by traditional decorative motifs, creating a timeless and sophisticated look.
• Bohemian embraces organic forms and a handcrafted feel, appealing to those drawn to relaxed elegance and natural beauty.
• Cosmopolitan delivers clean geometric lines and understated sophistication suited for contemporary and urban interiors.

Beyond the washbasins, The New Classic encompasses a fully coordinated collection of toilets, bathtubs, faucets, furniture, mirrors, and accessories. Each piece shares the same design language, allowing specifiers to create cohesive bathroom environments without compromising aesthetics or functionality.

Recognized with an iF Design Award, The New Classic demonstrates LAUFEN's commitment to combining advanced manufacturing with thoughtful design, offering a collection that is as practical as it is beautiful. For designers seeking a bathroom solution that balances innovation, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal, The New Classic provides a distinctive option that continues to evolve.
