Natural elegance meets innovative hygiene
Warm colors, authentic materials, and forward-looking solutions transform the bathroom of 2025 into a place of relaxation
• Balcoon unites clear geometries with timeless elegance
• ME by Starck wall-mounted toilet Hero edition: Innovative technologies and optimized hygiene standard
for maximum comfort
Natural earthy tones, clean design, and state-of-the-art hygiene solutions: 2025’s bathroom trends are all about the bathroom as a place of wellbeing. Elegant details raise the bar in terms of functionality and aesthetics – and Duravit has also embraced this trend with its complete bathroom series Balcoon, which meets the most exacting standards and boosts hygiene with intelligent functionality. The Philippe Starck-designed Hero Edition of the ME by Starck toilet is also true to this principle thanks to its timeless forms and innovative features.
Brown bathroom: a stylish revival
The color scheme is key to a natural atmosphere in the bathroom. Inspired by “Mocha Mousse”, 2025’s Pantone color of the year, warm, gentle brown tones are back in fashion and lend themselves to a wide range of settings. Gone are the days when brown bathrooms were seen as old-fashioned. Modern interpretations, combined with light cream and beige shades, natural materials such as wood, stone, and ceramic as well as stylish faucets and accessories, create an elegant yet welcoming atmosphere in the room.
The Balcoon complete bathroom range, designed by the Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, skillfully picks up on this trend. The ceramic color “Clay Terra Matt” accentuates the combination of a clean aesthetic and timeless elegance. The geometric design language and quality workmanship lend the design a certain je ne sais quoi. The matt color scheme emphasizes the character of the ceramic and conveys an authentic, artisanal impression.
Balcoon is not only impressive visually, but also in functional terms. The range offers a wide selection of washbasin and furniture combinations in harmonizing natural shades along with water-saving faucets. The ceramic elements feature the innovative DuraShield® 2-in-1 protective glaze, which creates an easy-clean surface while also satisfying the most exacting hygiene standards.
Established design meets technological innovation
The Hero Edition of the ME by Starck wall-mounted toilet is Duravit’s reaction to increasing hygiene demands, integrating a timeless aesthetic that is a perfect match for a range of bathroom designs. The toilet, designed by Philippe Starck, is the core of the range and impresses with its state-of-the-art functionality. The DuraShield® 2-in-1 protective glaze enhances hygiene by eliminating 99.99% of all bacteria. Its smooth, pore-free structure prevents the build-up of dirt and deposits – which run off easily.
Similarly, the pared-down, minimalistic interior of the toilet is also significantly easier to clean. The efficient DuraFlush rotational flush makes sure that all areas of the basin are fully cleaned – even with sparing consumption of just 4/2 liters of water.

DuraShield®: The 2-in-1 protective glaze is fired into the ceramic and offers outstanding performance thanks to an incredibly smooth, almost pore-free surface, so that dirt and limescale flow off more easily. In addition, positively charged metal ions automatically form an invisible protective shield that renders 99.9% of all bacteria harmless within 24 hours.
