roca tura collection mirrors geometries of barcelona's rationalist architecture

Roca Tura Collection shaped by Barcelona

Drawing inspiration from the shadows cast by pergolas and shutters and the geometric purity of intersecting volumes, the Roca Tura Collection embodies the essence of Barcelona‘s architectural landscape. Aptly named after the fusion of ‘arquitectura’ and ‘cultura,’ these sculptural bathroom products, created with local designer Andreu Carulla, pays homage to the formalist architecture that’s become and integral part of Barcelona’s cultural identity.

Roca, established in 1917, has become synonymous with award-winning bathroom designs created in collaboration with their inhouse expertise and prestigious international designers. In the Tura Collection, the company‘s expertise converges with designer Andreu Carulla’s deep-rooted cultural understanding to express their appreciation for Barcelona’s architectural icons like Sert, Coderch, Miralles, and Bofill. Inspired by the interplay of light and shadow in Mediterranean architecture, Carulla infuses the pieces with architectural ethos, characterized by simplicity, functionality, and a nod to nature.

‘I always wanted to work with Roca because it makes incredible high-quality products. In addition, the use of ceramics and geographical proximity made it a perfect match. Later, I discovered we spoke the same language,‘ remarks Andreu Carulla.

Carulla’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the collection. From the smooth contours to the occasional use of wood and recycled materials, each element serves a purpose while exuding understated elegance. The storage boxes, crafted from compacted felt, emulate the shadows of shutters and pergolas, echoing the collection’s architectural inspiration. Even the smallest decorative gestures, such as the recycled cork lid doubling as a tray and the recycled felt bathtub headrest, epitomize the designer’s commitment to balancing functionality and sustainability.
