Unveiling a series of exclusive events at our LAUFEN space venues in Berlin, Prague, Milan and Vienna where our latest bathroom collection, MEDA was be presented by designer Peter Wirz. These unique, curated events provided a rare opportunity to experience the seamless blend of innovation and timeless design that characterises MEDA, and to engage directly with the visionary Swiss designer Peter Wirz and his renowned design studio, VETICA.
How to design a success? Architects and designers were invited to LAUFEN space Prague for an intimate dialogue between Peter Wirz and Boris Voloshin, architect at Jakub Cigler Architekti (JCA). Currently overseeing projects like the modernization of Masarykovo Railway Station and the new Kladno Railway Station, they shared insights on what energizes and inspires them in their work, from products to architecture.
Swiss designer Peter Wirz and his globally active design firm VETICA previously developed our successful PRO bathroom series, which remains synonymous with understated, timeless design as well as the groundbreaking Cleanet Riva. The new MEDA collection follows up this success by making full use of new production technologies and design possibilities. The collection showcases the virtues of Swiss design: clarity, functionality and attention to detail. “My team and I aim to use good design to not only deliver quality, but also to create items that are simply a joy to use every day”, explains Wirz. “That is the ultimate challenge in democratic design: creating something that appeals to as many people as possible.”
The MEDA collection includes wall-hung washbasins, guest, countertop and furniture washbasins, a washbasin bowl, WCs and bidets, surface-mounted and concealed faucets, along with a full range of bathroom furniture. They form a cohesive collection identified with a clear geometric language of striking rectangular external profiles with softer, broader curves on the inside. The timeless design allows the items to be flexibly incorporated into any decorative style. It also delivers some surprising premium details like cleverly integrated shelves, a broad range of colour variants, silently flushing WCs and aluminium handles that complement the colour of the furniture.
