Duravit’s C.1 tap fitting series and the Luv complete bathroom range received the Red Dot Award for outstanding design
The C.1 design range by Kurt Merki Jr. perfectly reflects Duravit’s design language. The ergonomic handle with a recess underneath is comfortable to hold and permits precise operation. Sophisticated details, such as the gap between the body and handle which has been reduced to a minimum, add to the elegant look.

C.1 single lever basin mixer with Vero Air washbowl Luv console table – Quartz top with Sand finish, furniture in Taupe, shown with Luv mirror and corner bathtub
The unusual design of Luv by Danish designer Cecilie Manz combines Nordic purism and timeless, emotional elegance. Gentle forms follow a stringent geometry. The selection of materials and colours is testament to her sense for touch and nuances. Oval above-counter basins made from DuraCeram® impress with their subtle lines, generous inner basin and clear edges. Optionally, the glazed exterior can be selected in satin matt White, Grey or Sand. The washbasin stand consists of a console table on height-adjustable feet. Quartz console panels in three harmonized colour variants and a solid-wood top in American walnut can be combined in line with customer requirements.
The Red Dot award for “Product Design”, which can trace its origins back to 1955, seeks out each year’s best products. In 2018 designers and manufacturers from 59 nations entered more than 6,300 objects in the competition. True to the motto “in search of good design and innovation”, a jury – around 40 strong – evaluated the products individually as originals. The expert committee only awards the internationally renowned quality seal to products with an impressively high design quality and that satisfy additional stringent evaluation criteria. These include degrees of innovation, functionality, formal quality, ergonomics, and durability.
