200 Years of Living Bathrooms

Duravit is a German design brand of toilets, sensowash bidet toilets, baths & basin, manufacturing to the hightest quality & craftsmanship.

It all began in Hornberg, Germany in 1817 when Georg Friedrich Horn built an earthenware factory manufacturing sanitary ceramics & crockery. In 2017, Duravit Bathroom Products celebrated its 200 year anniversary some 200 years & is still a renowned global brand of bathroomware.

Hand made quality assurance

Duravit continues to maintain a great deal of craftsmanship to ensure this high standard. This applies to the manufacturing of ceramic as well as to all other production areas at Duravit.

Even though we are living in an era of high-tech & automation, when it comes to products with such a high claim to design + function, quality still highly depends on human skill.

Shaping a sustainable future

Duravit is taking a quantum leap towards a sustainable future: the world's first climate-neutral ceramic production facility is being built at the Matane site in the Canadian province of Québec.

For the firing process, Duravit's new ceramic plant will use the world's first electric roller kiln fuelled by hydropower. This will save over 9,000 tons of CO₂ per year compared to a conventional gas kiln - at full capacity.

Designed by design professionals

Duravit bathroomware champions a precisely formulated, recognisable & sustainable design idiom which is applied uniformly in all product ranges.

A unique network of 17 internationally successful designers, architects have helped develop the Duravit range including Phillippe Starck, Seiger Design, Phoenixn Design, Matteo Thun, Antonio Rodriguez, Cecilie Manz, Frank Husterm, Norman Foster & Kurt Merki Jr

Duravit bathroom products have won over 160 design prizes & awards to date.
