Arranged like a Japanese lunchbox: the new Duravit Bento Starck Box bathroom series, Duravit and designer Philippe Starck are making an extraordinary design statement and meeting the most exacting architectural demands. Inspiration is drawn from a traditional Japanese bento box – which are subdivided into several internal compartments by separators.
“The Bento Starck Box collection is the start of an elegant serenity,” said Starck, describing the washbasins and bathtubs. With intelligently divided wet and dry areas, the clean, clearly structured washing areas and bathtubs enable countless options for personal design.
Bento Starck Box is part of the Duravit Artisan Lines range of products. The Artisan Lines feature outstanding and iconic design products with a character that Duravit develops with renowned international designers. The design and manufacture of the Artisan Lines requires an extraordinary level of knowledge, craftsmanship, and precision.
Ample space for good order
The spacious Bento Starck Box washbasins offer practical and convenient storage areas. All personal care products and accessories can be placed within easy reach. The new series, includes a washbasin, toilet sets, plus bathtub, featuring a clear-cut design that is perfectly matched to different variants and dimensions of the bathroom furniture..
Innovative materials
The Bento Starck Box single washbasins are made from DuraCeram®, and the double washbasins from DuroCast UltraResist. Enabling Duravit to demonstrate how a range of different materials can be used to produce unconventional designs.
As a material, DuraCeram® enables above-counter basins with an extremely thin rim thickness to be created that are robust and extremely easy to care for. The highly effective, antibacterial ceramic HygieneGlaze ensures an optimum level of hygiene. Baked into the basin, the glaze kills around 90 percent of pathogens within just six hours, and approximately 99.9 percent after 24 hours. In addition to the toilets, all ceramic washbasins in the Bento Starck Box series are also exclusively available with HygieneGlaze for the first time.
Duravit offers a lifetime guarantee for all ceramics.
Variety at the washing area
Alongside the 650 mm-wide washbasins, the Bento Starck Box collection comprises above-counter basins in a range of sizes, all available in White and White Satin Matt: round variants with a diameter of
460 mm, and rectangular versions with a width of 550 mm as individual basins or, for two faucets, in widths of 1140 mm and 1340 mm – made from DuroCast UltraResist. The faucet is mounted inside the inner basin on all models.
Bathtub with integrated overflow for a spa-like experience
The freestanding acrylic infinity bathtub, sized 1800 x 900 mm, is ideal for a spa-like experience in your home bathroom. With ample depth and sufficient space for two people, it invites bathers to immerse themselves blissfully in water. A gently rounded head rest completes the wellness experience. A tapered water channel prevents a build-up of water and can be used as a storage area for accessories. This is a practical feature when it comes to cleaning because any water stays within the washbasin when the faucet is turned on. The bathtub is supplied to the customer fully preassembled with leg frame and drain, with no additional accessories are required.
Matching toilet sets
Bento Starck Box toilet sets harmonize with the design of the ceramic and bathtubs, including a compact model with a projection of just 480 mm and the HygieneFlush version with a projection of 570
- The range includes a floor-standing, close- coupled toilet and matching bidets. The integrated push buttons on the seat with the gentle, silent lowering mechanism means it can be easily removed and cleaned.
