Our lives consist of countless small and major decisions. Every day, you choose between a compromise and a fulfi lled wish, between a mediocre and original thing, and between what everyone has and what is only yours. You can settle for a mainstream taste, or give priority to the uniqueness of our solution. Life is in your own hands.

Your life, your choices.

Bathroom set BathGallery Gives order to clutter

The basin, bath and extras create a minimalist harmony in which each of the products has its place, and together they always form highly aesthetic composition.

The heart of the collection is a large storage area with a raised edge around the basin and bath, preventing things from falling and defi ning their location.

The set includes an easy-to-replace bottom of the basin in fi ve colours made of artifi cial stone, and extras (box and soap dish) made of acrylic glass which exactly fi t into the corners of the sink.

Bath with dimensions of 190 x 90 cm offers a variety of individual forms of the fi nal design, such as wood panelled, artifi cial stone or tiled fi nish.The basin with fi ve colour variations of removable bottom in conjunction with the extras (box and soap dish) complement the style of the bath, developing a limitless play of design.

The exchangeable coloured bottom with the soap dish and box make the basin an artistic composition, blending aesthetics and usefulness.

GALLERY OF CREATIVITY

Life is not monochromatic. Combine colours of the soap dish and the box with the bottom of the basin so that the result suits your individual preferences. Play with the style and create your own look.

"There is a symbiosis between the elements of the collection. I tried to make it radiate harmony, so each object has its own place. Do not buy just a basin an then look for accessories to match it. Instead, buy a complete whole undisturbed by anything."KRYŠTOF NOSÁL, author of the collection

A raised rim prevents objects from falling and, together with the design of the soap dish and box, it creates an impressive and clean combination.

In the world of design, fashionable and impractical fads won't survive long. Solutions which do survive are sophisticated and user-friendly, while offering an added value.

The LoveStory bath has been an icon among bathtubs since 2002.

26 27

Can you imagine a square heart?

What idea is the LoveStory II bath based on?We tried to combine sharply defi ned edges on the outer edges and rounded organic shapes inside. What characterizes this bath is the shape of a heart, but the outer line was simplifi ed, cleaned and moved to modern simple expression. It's very clean, forming an interesting and pleasant harmony.

But it deviates you a little from the current stream of absolute purism. Why did you choose this attitude? You are right, the current trend tends to follow a path of strict shapes. But can you imagine a square heart? LoveStory has its history. We developed the fi rst model for you in 2002 and in that time it had become an icon of not only your product line, but also of the entire market with bathtubs. Therefore, we have stayed with this emotional shape and kept it on the bottom of the tub so that the new LoveStory II remains focused on romance and physical contact of two people next to each other. It is a bath for lovers, for anyone who wants to enjoy physical contact with their partner. At the same time we purifi ed and simplifi ed its lines. For all products, we strive for pure lines and clear design language.

RAVAK is the only company in the Czech Republic with which your Design Storz studio cooperates. You develop baths for us. Which bath of your production do you feel is the most exceptional? In terms of usefulness, I like baths XXL and You. With the organic shapes which can spoil each user, I took to your Avocado and newly also LoveStory II.

JAN DĚDEK, senior designer of the Austrian studio Storz

You

A bath thought out to the last detail. Unique internal space ergonomically shaped not only for perfect comfort of all parts of the body, but also for each height of the user. Exceptional depth of the tub ensures a pleasant warming including the shoulders and neck.

comfort for one ...

... just YOU!

The Warm-Flow filling system provides relief to strained lower back muscles with a stream of warm water directed from the centre of the back support.

Simply immerse the whole body, settle comfortably in an ergonomically shaped space, rest your hands and feet in the most comfortable position and let yourself be spoiled with warm water and hydro massage.

The features of this concept will become an inspiration for those who are looking for unique and unusual things. A dominant shape of ellipse can be found on the basin, the cabinet and the Evolution bath. By combining the shapes, they create a compact unit based on the simplest forms of nature, which naturally evokes a sense of relaxation.

Shower channels are best matched with walk-in shower enclosures where they will create a unified visual impression of the floor. Shower trays in turn provide a perfect combination of simple flat design with quality materials, making them durable, strong and easy to maintain.

10°

Bathroom concept 10° which is coming to meet you.The concept is based on a slight rotation at an angle of 10°. The bath, washbasins and water taps give the impression as if they were coming to meet you, adding more comfort and usefulness. Slight rotation of a standard rectangular bath created an asymmetric bath with a large shelf space or seat. The corner basin allows more convenient access due to its rotation, while the mixer tap welcomes your hands.
