MEDA is the new bathroom collection with clean lines and soft shapes created for Laufen by the Swiss designer Peter Wirz of Studio Vetica.
The collection is ‘Made for Life’ and this idea was the spark for the idea of the collection with the designer aiming to create a complex system of ceramics, faucets and furniture with maximum modularity to allow for adaptation within any bathroom environment..
Also available is a range of complementary bathroom furniture to keep the space tidy and organised at all times, while also providing the perfect stage for the MEDA design. The vanity units feature a clear, linear design with thin side walls that follow the geometry of the washbasins. On the front, they are broken up by a curved transition to integrated handle strips, which creates an interesting interplay of light and shadow. The robust aluminium handles provide a good grip and are colour-coordinated with the furniture.
The drawers with soft-close and full-extension provide ample storage space and keep the bathroom tidy. An organisation system inside provides an additional overview when storing cosmetics and small bathroom essentials. The collection also includes a vertical wall cabinet of 1,650 mm in height, thus completing a coherent set of elements that can be combined with each other to create different compositional variations.
The bathtub with its slim silhouette is made in Marbond, a composite material with a pleasant and velvety touch. It is available in the free-standing version, with wall mounting and also in the variant with right or left corner mounting. The freestanding bathtub is a real highlight as it can also be made in a two-tone version: matt grey outside and bright white inside to harmonise with the new ceramic colours matt graphite and matt black as well as with the furniture colour of the same name.
The toilet and bidet are also characterised by a very linear and geometric shape and are available in floor-standing or wall-hung versions. The MEDA toilet, in both wall-hung and floor standing variants, is rimless and is the first model to be launched with Laufen’s new Silent Flush technology. The ceramic bodies of the WCs feature corner radii that correspond to the interior form of the basins. Tapering elegantly downwards, they create a gentle and discreet impression in the interior design.
The toilets and bidets are available in the same colours as the washbasins in order to create a uniform look in the bathroom. All gloss white ceramic items can also be treated with the dirt-repellent, easy-to-clean LCC surface treatment for maximum hygiene.
MEDA also includes an extremely complete range of faucets which covers mixers of different heights for washbasins and bidets, wall mounted options as well as mixers with thermostat for the shower and the bathtub. MEDA faucets are available in a chrome finish and in an elegant matt PVD titanium black version.
Peter Wirz has added to the surface-mounted shower and bath mixer a separate storage shelf to provide extra space for keeping shampoos and shower gels within easy reach.
