The bathroom was long considered a purely functional space. Today, its white, cold, sad image is gradually fading to give way to a livelier, warmer, open room. Designers are paying attention to details all the way down to the design of plumbing while industrials see this as a sales opportunity for contemporary collections. The “new” bathroom corresponds to a new functionality that is both hygienic and energizing, a room that satisfies the need for relaxation as well as fitness. And it also participates in a basic trend: responsible behavior leading to a quest for water and energy savings.
