LAUFEN modern sanitary rooms cater for dynamic offices at orgatec 2016

the LAUFEN modern sanitary rooms exhibition at the orgatec 2016 fair, reflects the dynamism and flexibility of today’s workplaces and how office bathrooms are an integral part of this. presenting at the cologne-based furniture show for the very first time, the swiss brand illustrates how bathrooms are becoming a central interface between the working process and health-conscious lifestyle. silicon valley companies are a key reference for them, as they highlight the growing trend for office-based fitness and wellness facilities and programs.

LAUFEN’s stand was created by italian designers and architects ludovica and roberto palomba, and utilizes an expansive mirrored screen to reflect specifically curated bathroom units and a selection of their product range. this includes; individual washbasins made of saphirkeramik from the collections; ‘kartell by LAUFEN‘, ‘living’, ‘val’ by konstantin grcic, and ‘ino’ by toan nguyen, as well as the ‘antero’ urinal and ‘cinto’ urinal dividing wall. presenting a variety of modern suggestions for spatially closed units in offices, each sanitary room is fitted in an individual design language and feature different utilities.

the LAUFEN ‘modern sanitary rooms’ stand features inside of the VITRA ‘work’ project, which explores the future of work environments and the many different types of companies that will shape them. in doing so, the swiss brand is contributing in a constructive exchange that takes a holistic approach at imagining the workplaces of the future. looking past the fair, the brand’s exhibition hopes to result in future collaborations with architects, and interior and industrial designers, and their responses to what office ‘modern sanitary rooms’ may look like.
