SUNO Line

Like a fresh breeze: the SUNO collection translates moments of lightness into perfect design. Barber Osgerby applies the unique properties of glazed titanium steel to perfectly minimalist design. The new collection includes a bathtub and washbasins that work in harmony with each other and perfectly suit sophisticated architectural surrounds. Each piece in the SUNO series sets its own aesthetic accents. This combination of quality and lively impulses inspires peaceful stimulation and soothing relaxation.

SUNO freestanding bathtub

Clear design inspired by nature. The free-standing SUNO flows organically from familiar design concepts to contemporary form with its recessed apron. A classic, ample, interior and at once utilitarian and elegant shape fits into any architectural concept. The protruding rim can be used as a comfortable head and arm rest when bathing, as well as a shelf for toiletries. When standing up or sitting down, it serves as a grab rail, if required.

As Barber Osgerby co-founder Jay Osgerby describes their design of the SUNO freestanding bathtub:

"The form invites engagement, and its exactness is achieved through expert engineering and the use of enamelled steel, which is a far superior material for sanitary ware."

Inside, the generously sized tub slopes inwards at each end towards a centrally located waste outlet, providing comfort for up to two bathers.

SUNO pedestal

The freestanding SUNO with a surface mounted sculptural shell basin, evenly round with a softly sloping interior, cantilevered on a slender pedestal, adds an effect of art and architectural engineering to the SUNO suite.

Generously reduced: The SUNO shell is a surface mounted washbasin with the simplicity of even edges and gracefully sloped bowl.

“We need symmetry. And I won’t accept capriciousness in design.”

Dominik Tesseraux, born in 1966 in Bensheim, Germany, lived and worked in Potsdam. After apprenticing to become a furniture maker and studying design in Darmstadt, he was employed at various renowned German design studios. In 2001 he established tesseraux+partner. That same year he decided to be self-employed, initially as a ‘one-man show in his own four digs’. Today, he works with four others in a brick-built shed, once a coach house, in Potsdam.

Sieger Design

“Knowing that there’s in-depth research, complex analyses and intensive discussions hidden behind an unmistakeable design is what makes our work fascinating. Even at the drafting stage, we’re already thinking carefully about the individual manufacturing processes, the processing form and environmental challenges, without ever taking our eye off the look.”

Christian and Michael Sieger are the sons of architect and product designer Dieter Sieger. In 1964 he founded Sieger Design, which was one of the first in Germany to discover what it meant to treat the bath as a place for premium design. Dieter Sieger was led to bath and product design from shipbuilding. In 2003 Dieter Sieger retired from managing his company and turned the management over to his sons, who expanded the product range to include crockery, apparel and furniture. Nevertheless, most of their prizes were awarded for bath designs.

“What we need are products tailored to the users that concentrate on what’s essential.”

After apprenticing to become a furniture maker, Jochen Schmiddem studied painting, sculpture and product design. Between 1990 and 1997 he worked at various international studios. Then in 1997 he set up his own studio in Berlin. Berlin offers Jochen Schmiddem a never-ending stream of inspiration and ideas for his work. These are crucial factors for turning today’s utopia into tomorrow’s reality. The studio is situated in the “Old Centre” of Berlin, a five minute’s walk from the Ku’damm. Here projects are reworked to include redesign and innovative redevelopment as well as visionary concepts and studies for different companies.

Behind the Scenes: Taking Textile to the Bath

LUX OVAL COUTURE

LUX OVAL COUTURE fixtures are upholstered in a fast-drying, mould-resistant fabric originally developed by German textile maker Jab Anstoetz for use on outdoor furniture.

The hand finished process requires skilled attention at every step, shown in the gallery below.

1. Cutting out the exclusive functional fabric calls for a steady hand. Lux Oval Couture is upholstered and covered in elegant fabrics from JAB Anstietz at Bielefelder Werkstätten. First the patterns are prepared.

2. Absolute precision is required to ensure that the fabrics fit perfectly on the bath or washbasin later on. Bielefelder Werkstätten is a traditional manufacturing company where the cloth for Lux Oval Couture is carefully sewn.

3. The bath is covered in foam before the fabric is applied. The foam padding is firmly attached to the frame with a spray gun. The padding is also carefully glued along the edge of the bath frame. Excess foam is trimmed away.

4. The pre-stiched fabric is fitted seamlessly over the padding, thanks to the careful preparation. As with the highest quality sofa, in the next step the fabric and frame are firmly joined together. Shaping the padding carefully, smoothing the fit, pinning with gentle pressure.

5. Real craftsmanship is required in the manual application of the coloured enamelling, in match to the textile, to the titanium steel fixture which is then fired at 850°. The enamelling calls for a good eye and great care to ensure that the end result is flawless.

6. Finally the bath is suspended in the upholstered, fabric-covered frame. Velcro strips under the folded edge securely attach the bath to the upholstery.
