The AZ Awards issue packs much more than our winners and finalists — though they certainly take pride of place. (And you can read all about them on our dedicated AZ Awards site.)

Val Sink by Laufen

These new SaphirKeramik washbasins, developed by Laufen with designer Konstantin Grcic for the Collection Val, provide space-saving solutions for compact and demanding bathroom architecture.

Val Bathroom Sink by Laufen

The latest addition to the Val series targets compact and demanding bathroom layouts in particular with new washbasins. SaphirKeramik by Laufen proved naturally suited for the task. With its fine walls and slender edge radii, the washbasins made of the innovative ceramic material take up hardly any space, which makes the space look neater and clearer, especially in small bathrooms. 

Laufen’s SaphirKeramik Brings New Flexibility – and Beauty – to Bathroom Fixtures
Taking advantage of Laufen’s SaphirKeramik, the Sonar collection breaks new ground in bathroom design.

In addition, the SaphirKeramik washbasins really do save space, as they allow for the installation smaller basins with the same internal dimensions as a larger basin.

The Val collection uses the additional space created in the basin to integrate new functions in the form of semi-dry shelves. This gives users storage space to keep soap, shaving brushes or cosmetics close to hand, as well as sufficient basin volume.
