Toady we bring you another tub by Philippe Starck from his Starck X collection. Starck X products are simple with fine rectangular lines that bring a neutral, relaxing feeling into your favourite spot, your bathroom. We picked the Starck X bath tub from this collection due to it’s elegant appearance and numerous variations you can choose from. We liked the option with a water channel with specially handled stones most of all, once we saw it we couldn’t escape a senation of a remote, exclusive spa resort. It has a really natural, open space feeling about it. This is another piece that has the potential to turn a dull looking bathroom into an exotic escape from real life problems which we all need from time to time.

The tub is freestanding so it is up to you how you incorporate it into your bathroom. We suggest that you place it as further away from the walls as you can, to achieve the maximum effect. We suggest the option with two backrest slopes. This way your body will be in a more natural and relaxed position than in a tub with only one backrest. You also won’t have to draw straws for the side with the slope if you decide to invite someone special over to your place. Other than water channel with stones, there are two more options - wooden inserts and a light changing system.

As most of Starck’s designs, simplicity adds much more to the visual impact of the final product than it takes away. Two thumbs up.

We have always adored Philippe Starck’s work but we definitely feel this washbasin ranks as of his best designs ever. Despite it’s shape being as simple as they get, just like most of Starck’s designs, this basin has that something about it doesn’t allow you to take your eyes off of it. You will probbably be surprised to hear that this modern, minimalistic piece was designed in back in 1994! Starck’s designs are timeless. The elegant cone shape makes this washbasin a real space saver with only 58 centimeters in width. Despite the small dimensions, the baisn is spacious so when you rinse your face in the morning you won’t have the whole bathroom splashed with water.

Below the washbasin, Starck 1 #040658 also has a built-in cabinet. This is quite handy, because you will have one more thing to cross off the list whille getting pieces together for your modern self-indulgence oasis. There is enough space to put all the cosmetics and other products that make your bathroom look crowded because you can’t find any space for them.

We especially liked the dark casing finish, the unit also comes in a lighter color, but our favourite was and still is the dark one. Try combining it with big beige travertine tiles which will make this piece of modern beauty stand out, as it should.

We probably do not need to tell you who Philippe Starck is, but if you do not know who he is read about him here. Instead, we will focus on the Axor Starck series of bathroom faucets that caught our eyes during our latest hunt for wow-worthy things.

The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity. - Alberto Giacometti

If what mr. Giacometti said is true then Philippe Starck certainly did an excellent job with this series of faucets and related products. Comparing the photographs that inspired the products and the products themselves, we couldnt decide what we liked more. Both the inspiration and the results are breathtaking.

Here are some of the products from the series, we hope you like them as much as we did.
