For decades, we have viewed the bathroom as an exclusively functional space. However, this perspective has been evolving. Today, architects and designers consider the bathroom as an intimate gallery, where each element can and should express identity and aesthetics. Sanitary ceramics, in turn, have ceased to be merely technical and have taken on a prominent role.

Like a sculpture displayed in a museum, pieces such as washbasins, toilets and bidets have taken on volume, texture and presence. More than just technical solutions, they are, in fact, true pieces of art. statement, capable of defining the character of the space.

Therefore, instead of resorting to an excess of accessories or furniture, the current trend focuses on specific elements with a strong visual impact.
