The Duravit designers. 1 The maxim of architect and designer Frank Huster are functional
criteria, coupled with high demands on design aspects. 2 Duravit’s cooperation with Sieger Design goes back as far
as 1984 – and has defi ned bathroom culture with a number of design classics. 3 Philippe Starck needs no introduction.
Citrus squeezers, TVs and houses: Starck simply does it, and does it simply ingeniously – just like the Duravit bathroom
range that bears his name. 4 Working in his own design studio, Andreas Struppler has designed successful products for
Sedus, Interstuhl and Wittmann. Always true to his motto: “Comfort and intelligent uses whether for the offi ce, sport
or the home.” 5 Jochen Schmiddem's job is inventing pleasure – he designed the multifunctional shower for Duravit.
Demonstrating that this versatile designer is heading for the very top of his profession. 6 The Austrian design group
Eoos claims to operate on the principles of a rock band. The obvious success of this approach is evident in products for
Walter Knoll and Matteograssi, and for the Armani and Adidas fl agship stores. 7 Phoenix Design have won a number of
awards, among others for their work for Duravit, Loewe and Lamy. Unmistakable in their designs: clear-cut, classic
lines and a reduction to the essentials. 8 Lord Norman Foster is one of the most renowned architects worldwide. The
new German Reichstag building is just one of many examples worldwide confirming this fact.
