Following the successful introduction of White Tulip, Tulum represents Philippe Starck’s second faucet series for Duravit. The harmonious combination of round and angular forms brings timeless elegance to the collection.

The faucets are highly adaptable, and slot perfectly into a varied range of bathroom interiors and harmonise with many different ceramic series. Positioned in the mid-price range, the faucet series makes a strong design statement and is guaranteed by Duravit for five years.

Iconic and timeless design

For Philippe Starck, timelessness means the longevity of objects which is today one of the most important parameters—on a material, cultural and emotional level. He implements this idea in the design of Tulum through a successful symbiosis of minimalism and elegance.

The flat, exquisitely worked spout is exactly the same width as the long, elegant, lever-style handle. It imbues the faucet with its elegant look and guarantees that water volume and temperature can be set easily and precisely.

The harmoniously integrated aerator enriches the water jet with air and generates a gentle spray pattern. The flow rate is just 5 l/min. Additionally, wash basin mixers with the energy-saving FreshStart function are available in sizes S and M. Initially, only cold water flows in the central position. Hot water is only added when the user deliberately moves the handle to the left. The Duravit BlueBox®, a universal installation system for a range of faucet designs (lever mixers or thermostats), is used for concealed installation. This allows the design decision to be taken even after the basic set has been installed.
