Antero & Cinto Laufen
laufen-antero+cinto-01

Antero has an intrinsic duality: that of being an object used for an intimate function, yet located in a public space. The intention here is to avoid trivializing a ritual act during which the time dimension is suspended for a few moments. The two-dimensional aspect generated by the simple geometric shape makes the object appear as architectural and definitely intended to serial installation, while the three-dimensionality of the parts that interact with the body foster the most natural and harmonious relationship with the user possible.

Design is above all an approach, a close attention to the object, applied to the craftsmanship of excellence as well as to affordable serial production, like the LUA Collection. Relieved of any formal artifice, LUA is a bathroom collection whose simplicity of design is the result of targeted research and rigorous development. The strength of LUA also lies in the breadth of its range and the consistency of each of its integral parts, as different as they are by their materials and industrial processes: ceramics, furniture, bathtubs, and faucets. LUA draws its inspiration from daily life and celebrates everyday gestures, which are as simple as they are essential. It is the object that must adapt to the requirements of the space and its users and not the other way around. LUA is focused on the user’s harmonious relationship with the object, both functional and tactile, around the unifying and universal theme of Water.

Water appears like a flat square plate simply lying on your exhibition table and full of a green lake water. In reality, it is a very slightly curved surface (earth radius of 6.371 km) with inside concentric layers sinking progressively to reach the deep water and the darkness. The result viewed from the top is like an abstract painting with concentric shades of green. Looking under the table, the visitor will understand why the water looks so deep inside this plate.
