Tom Dixon designed the Milan installation using Cosentino’s Dekton with the vision of the bathroom as a sculptural space
[Reinventing the Bathroom]
A collaboration between surface manufacturer Cosentino and designer Tom Dixon aims to challenge conventional interpretations of the bathroom from a simply functional space to a sculptural place of refuge and contemplation.
Made using Dekton, an ambitious installation on display during Milan Design Week in April was created to focus ideas on how the bathroom space could be transformed through a high-impact, architectural and sculptural intervention.
Called Metamorphic, the installation features four modules of varying size that showcase a new vision of the bathroom space as a focal point of interior architecture. Dixon’s aim was to take visitors on a journey through the modular world, with surreal shapes and the dramatic effect of water, sound and light. He said: “I’ve long been fascinated by prefabricated bathrooms inserted into buildings as modules, which was the departure point and initial inspiration behind Metamorphic. After visiting the Dekton production facility in Spain, I was enthralled by the innovation and sustainability of the material. Its durability and beauty allowed me to create a unified and seamless 3D installation – almost as if it was carved out of stone.
“The end result showcases the bathroom as a practical place of refuge and awakens the opportunity for these spaces to be more expressive and heroic.”
The sole collection used to create the installation is the new Dekton Pietra Kode, which reinterprets the three classic Italian stones of Vicenza, Travertine and Ceppo di Gré. Five colourways featured in the project: Grafite; Sabbia; Ceppo; Nebbia; and Marmorio. cosentino.com/landings/metamorphic designresearchstudio.net
