The Dream Bathroom of Christian Werner | Duravit
How
would it look if the idea of the livable bathroom that has shaped the interior
of the wet cell for years were taken to its logical conclusion? What if the
bathroom becomes a true place of refuge where one can while away some time –
even after finishing the regular bathroom routine?
The signature bathroom designed by Christian Werner embraces this thought experiment and advances a proposal for how absolute livability may look when married to the practical requirements of everyday life.

The vision
The Vision of The Private Home Spa
When he started planning the bathroom, Christian Werner had a feeling – the feeling of a refuge made from soft surfaces and colors, a symbiosis of all elements to create a harmonious whole. This feeling gave rise to the design of a private place of retreat, as a suggestion or complement to conventional feel-good spaces such as the living room and bedroom.
The floor plan
The rounded edges are a notable feature of the floor plan in the bathroom and give the room a more enclosed effect, drawing concentration to the inner self, to focusing on the essentials.
The
aim of Christian Werner was to design a room with an interior that is a departure from the
traditional understanding of a conventional bathroom. Rather, the idea was to
create a room rich in evocative sensuality, an inviting space to while away
some time. Not only for the daily bathroom routine, but also for relaxation –
with a book, a drink, alone or as a couple.
The interior design
The Feel-Good Composition
Christian Werner has opted for materials with a natural effect that interact perfectly with the Duravit products of the Vitrium series.
Christian Werner deliberately steered clear of tiles as a wall covering, opting instead for warm, moisture-regulating clay plaster. “For us this was the solution for distancing ourselves from the sterile, fully-tiled wet cell while also opting for a material that exudes a certain archaic quality. In combination with the texture and restrained color tones of travertine as a floor covering, it produces a harmonious overall picture,” said Christian Werner explaining his choice.
The washing area
The washing area consists of an above-counter basin from the Vitrium range that
projects beyond the matching vanity unit. The basin, incorporating
the patented DuroCast® cast-mineral material with its velvety surface, creates a
perfect contrast to the vanity unit.
Additional bathroom furniture
The
cozy feel-good effects are boosted by the Vitrium tall cabinets with tinted glass and gentle lighting. These are ideal for not
only storing essential bathroom utensils, but can also house books and
attractive objets d’art.
The details
Fine Details of The Overall Concept
A central, subtly placed element with a large impact is the “oculus” set into the ceiling. “Light has a huge effect on us humans and we can influence it using different light colors. We experience light quite differently and individually depending on the time of day, season, and current mood,” said Christian Werner as he explained his idea and underscored his individual signature.
The designer strives for clarity and simplicity without becoming banal. He places weight on the sensual and emotional experience that his designs convey.
The bathtub
The
freestanding bathtub from the Vitrium rang is an eye-catcher that harmonizes perfectly. The
all-round, slightly dipped bathtub edge is more than a mere decorative element:
it also offers a space for bathing essentials and décor such as aromatic oils,
soaps, and candles.
The toilet area
Outside a matt surface with a gentle feel made from cast mineral material, inside ceramic glazed with antibacterial HygieneGlaze® – this is the unique combination of the Vitrium toilet, which combines the highest hygienic requirements with complex design standards.
The shower
The slatted blind ensures that no water can escape from the shower, but drips from slat to slat, allowing warm air to escape. Further, the visibility can be set according to individual wishes, enabling the desired level of privacy.
