Our homes, particularly our bathrooms, serve as safe havens—a tranquil sanctuary free from external stressors and health concerns exacerbated by the enduring impact of the pandemic.
The bathroom often goes unnoticed yet is a standout feature of any home, impressing house guests when designed and equipped appropriately. It is fitting, then, to treat our bathrooms as more than an afterthought.
With this sentiment, German brands Villeroy & Boch and Dornbracht merge technology with sustainability at their revamped showroom in BGC. Featuring both companies' luxurious selections of taps, fittings, and ceramics, the space reimagines these as more than simple bath solutions.
Redefining leisure
Villeroy & Boch and Dornbracht have adorned the bathrooms of luxurious hotels and development sites globally, such as the Peninsula Paris, Ambassador Hotel Zurich, and Singapore’s Marina One Residences. This luxury and opulence can now be experienced uniquely at home.
Upon entering their showroom, visitors encounter Dornbracht's spa therapy-inspired collections, employing varying levels of "Aquapressure" to mimic the sensation and benefits of acupuncture. Beyond the health and wellness benefits offered by these customizable faucets and showerheads, Dornbracht's collections like "Aquamoon" feature distinct flow modes reminiscent of nature, ranging from rain droplets to waterfall sensations on your skin.
A promise of sustainability
Customers can expect exceptional quality from materials like 100% "durabrass" refined with 23-karat gold, available in classic, dark, and golden colors, as well as matte and glossy finishes. While their products are durable and designed for longevity, Dornbracht offers a "ReCrafted" service, allowing patrons to return products for refurbishment, reducing potential waste from replacements.

Design possibilities
Exploring deeper into the showroom, visitors are transported to whimsical dimensions through Villeroy & Boch's stylized bathroom displays, each accompanied by distinct scents and ambient music. Drawing inspiration from period novels like Bridgerton and The Great Gatsby, Villeroy & Boch showcases the versatility of their ceramics, textiles, and furniture, catering to both timeless and modern aesthetics.
