Soleil by Starck – Design for eternity
Soleil by Starck from Philippe Starck and Duravit is an iconic bathroom collection with soft forms and a timeless yet contemporary design
• Minimalism and organic design
• Refined lines and relaxed aesthetics
Soleil by Starck is the latest iconic range created by Philippe Starck for Duravit. “The Soleil by Starck collection is just infinite kindness. Inside, each of us knows this softness,” said the French designer, describing the collection. Starck’s creations place people center stage and explore our emotional connection to those objects: “I wanted to make for us a product that expresses that infinite softness, that infinite kindness.”
Forms inspired by nature
The design collection from Duravit and Starck with its naturally inspired minimalist forms caters to the yearning for a pared-down approach to life many of us harbor. The bathroom collection’s stand-out features are the gentle curves and flowing lines that are reminiscent of a dune formed by the wind.
Philippe Starck also found inspiration in the waves of the sea, which slowly dissipate and gently disappear the closer they are carried toward the beach: “There is a true softness. There is something absolutely moving in this soft and slow disappearance.” This phenomenon is illustrated by the gentle forms and the flowing transitions of the series.
With its softened lines, Soleil by Starck creates a natural and relaxed atmosphere – just like the carefree feeling you get from a short break by the sea. The compact program consists of washbasins, toilets, and bathtubs, blends flexibly into a range of furnishing styles, and impresses with its timelessly modern design – “Forever,” summed up Starck.
