Product: Laufen Tuna

For Il Bagno Alessi’s One project by Laufen, designer Stefano Giovannoni celebrated the bathroom as a sanctuary for imagination and as a hub where he sees four personal, affective codes—maternal, childhood, erotic body, and paternal—intersecting. The collection’s porcelain pieces, for example, follow the maternal code; thus, the form of the washbasin Tuna (shown) is round and soft. One also includes bathtubs, urinals, vanity units, and mirrors. • laufen.com
