The Last Word
Bathe in Light
From afar, the bathroom is seemingly filled with the mysterious shimmer of countless tiny lights, inviting users to pause for a moment and take inspiration from the sight. A closer glance soon reveals patterns of mountain contours full of poetry and serenity, wonderfully created using brilliant cut Swarovski crystals. That is the new edition of Villeroy & Boch Octagan pedestal washbasin and Quaryl Squaro Prestige bath. A new interpretation by Hong Kong-based architect, interior and product designer Steve Leung, the sanitary ware sees him translating Shan Shui – a traditional form of Chinese landscape painting featuring mountains, rivers and waterfalls – into the bathroom setting. Bathe in a sea of nearly 5,000 precious Swarovski Xirius Rose crystals as well as the finest leather; the result is an exclusive masterpiece that radiates self-confidence and sensuality while maximising the visual and tactile experience.
