For our final instalment of the Design Through Time series, we've decided to focus on the 1990's.
This was an exciting time for bathrooms as it was the first time celebrity designers collaborated with bathroom manufacturers.
Philippe Starck collaborated with brands such as Duravit, Rapsel and Axor Hansgrohe to create bathroom collections that introduced the 'furnished' bathroom to the world.
Bathroom fittings were now being seen as designer pieces and the style of the time was minimal, simple and tranquil so that we could focus on the basics: the enjoyment of water.
We've put together a 90's inspired colour scheme of black, white and a lot of chrome.
The 90's were all about city living and an urban lifestyle so the fittings should be contemporary and sleek. Many designers followed in the footsteps of Starck and even now a decade later Starck is still designing great ranges for bathrooms, allowing the general public to have their very own designer pieces.
