Serenity defines the Vitrium experience. A carefully selected palette embraces subtle hues alongside tactile surfaces, transforming the room into a haven of relaxation. Complementary furnishings, from textiles to art, cultivate a distinctive atmosphere that uplifts the mood. Vitrium challenges conventions, standing as a testament to the power of considered design.

Central to Vitrium is its integration of DuroCast UltraResist basins. This pioneering material results from mineral casting, offering an exquisite matte appearance paired with resilience. The durable basins withstand daily use. Vitrium provides both circular above-counter basins as well as seamlessly integrated designs, allowing customization to suit different preferences.

Furniture acts as the collection’s heart. A minimal understated aesthetic skillfully merges geometric forms with translucent elements. The delicate metal frames, available in white and anthracite, impart sophistication. Backlit glass fronts crafted from semi-transparent PARSOL glass imbue interiors with a soothing warmth, transforming ordinary belongings into fascinating objects. This thoughtful merging of elements departs from expectations, placing Vitrium in a class of its own within bathroom design.
