In the world of bathroom design, true innovation lies in the subtle balance between precision engineering and artistic elegance. Laufen, a Swiss brand renowned globally for its pioneering approach to bathroom solutions, perfectly embodies this harmony. With over 125 years of legacy, Laufen doesn’t just make fixtures; it crafts refined experiences designed to elevate the way we interact with water, space, and form.
At Maruti Ceramics Luxury, we take pride in partnering with brands that embody our vision of excellence and design-forward living. Laufen bathroom solutions, including their acclaimed range of toilets and basins, are now exclusively available through our curated collection, bringing world-class Swiss craftsmanship to discerning homes across India.
The Laufen Legacy: Where Innovation Meets Heritage
Founded in 1892 in the heart of Switzerland, Laufen has grown from a regional ceramics producer into one of the world’s most respected names in luxury bathroom design. A member of the Roca Group since 1999, Laufen is distinguished by its ability to merge Swiss precision engineering with expressive European design sensibilities.
What sets Laufen apart is its dedication to material innovation, sustainable production, and a relentless pursuit of aesthetic and technical perfection. Every product is the result of an intricate process that involves state-of-the-art technology, hand-finishing by skilled artisans, and rigorous quality control.
The result? A collection that doesn’t just serve a function; it enhances lifestyle, inspires creativity, and exemplifies timeless sophistication.
The Art of Functional Elegance
Laufen’s philosophy revolves around the idea that bathroom spaces should be intelligent, intuitive, and emotionally engaging. Whether designing compact urban bathrooms or sprawling master ensuites, Laufen focuses on creating fixtures that are visually light yet structurally strong, minimal yet meaningful.
Let’s delve into the core elements that make Laufen a leader in luxury bathroom design:
- SaphirKerami : Redefining Ceramic Possibilities
Perhaps Laufen’s most significant innovation is SaphirKerami, a revolutionary ceramic material developed after years of research. Unlike traditional ceramics, SaphirKeramik is extremely hard and malleable, enabling designers to craft razor-thin edges, tight radii, and previously impossible forms; all while maintaining exceptional durability.
This material has redefined the boundaries of ceramic design, allowing for basin rims as thin as 1–2 mm, significantly reducing weight and enhancing environmental efficiency.
Collections like VAL and INO, designed by award-winning artists such as Konstantin Grcic and Toan Nguyen, showcase this breakthrough beautifully, where sculptural forms meet tactile sophistication.
- Laufen Basins: Where Form Follows Function Beautifully
Basins are often the focal point of any bathroom, and with Laufen, they become sculptural centerpieces. Whether wall-mounted, countertop, or integrated into vanity units, Laufen basins combine refined aesthetics with ergonomic functionality.
Signature Features:
- Ultra-slim profiles using SaphirKeramik
- Integrated storage solutions
- Elegant matte and gloss finishes
- Minimal seams and joints for easy cleaning
- Soft geometry for visual lightness
From the futuristic contours of the Kartell by Laufen collection to the minimalist purity of Val, there’s a basin design to suit every taste; be it ultramodern, transitional, or classically inspired.
- Laufen Toilets: Clean Design, Cleaner Performance
Laufen’s approach to toilets is rooted in hygienic intelligence. Their rimless designs, advanced flushing technologies, and soft-close features are crafted for optimal sanitation, ease of maintenance, and aesthetic discretion.
Innovations Worth Noting:
- Cleanet Riva – A fully integrated shower toilet with bidet functionality, hidden controls, and a sleek, monolithic design.
- Rimless Technology – For a more hygienic flush that uses less water and eliminates hard-to-reach areas.
- Silent Flush Mechanisms – Engineered for acoustic comfort in refined residential settings.
Even the cisterns and flush plates are meticulously designed, often recessed and minimal, enhancing the overall seamlessness of your bathroom environment.
- Intelligent Space Optimization
Laufen excels in offering smart solutions for compact urban bathrooms without compromising on luxury. With wall-mounted fixtures, floating vanities, and modular elements, the brand emphasizes space-saving without aesthetic sacrifice.
The Pro series, for example, is designed for versatility and affordability, offering elegant solutions for smaller spaces with the same Laufen quality and attention to detail.
- Designer Collaborations: Function Meets Fine Art
Laufen frequently partners with globally acclaimed designers to create collections that redefine bathroom design language. These collaborations ensure that every piece is not only technically superior but also emotionally resonant and visually groundbreaking.
- Eco-Conscious Production and Sustainable Luxury
Sustainability is not an afterthought for Laufen; it is embedded in every stage of production. The brand operates in compliance with ISO 14001 environmental standards, prioritizing closed-loop manufacturing, eco-glazing processes, and water-saving technologies.
Many of Laufen’s toilets and basins feature dual flush mechanisms and low-flow capabilities, helping reduce water consumption while maintaining powerful performance. This makes Laufen an excellent choice for eco-conscious homeowners and hospitality projects striving for green certification.
- Finishes and Customization: From Classic to Cutting-Edge
While Laufen products are known for their understated refinement, they are also available in a variety of colors, textures, and finishes to meet evolving design palettes.
Finish Options:
- Gloss White – The timeless staple of ceramic luxury
- Matte White – Modern and sophisticated, a designer’s favorite
- Graphite and Anthracite – For bold, industrial chic bathrooms
- Special Edition Colors – Available in Kartell by Laufen, including transparent and colored plastic elements
