LAUFEN: Designer Profile




	Apple® enthusiasts no longer have to wait for the white version of the iPhone 4™ to be released; they can look to their bathroom to get their hands on the design they’ve come to love. Hartmut Esslinger, the design genius behind the Apple Macintosh™ computer, translates the same brilliance in his mylife bathroom collection for LAUFEN.
Esslinger, a German-American industrial designer and inventor, is one of the most respected designers and business consultants in the world. With countless innovative consumer goods bearing his distinct aesthetic —from Louis Vuitton, Olympus and HP— Hartmut Esslinger’s firm, frog design, is renowned for revolutionary product design. Esslinger and his team have turned consumer brands into powerhouses and consumers into cult-followers; and now they’ve done the same through LAUFEN’s mylife series..
		With contrasting angular and round design elements, each part of the mylife collection exudes a clever simplicity. The convex rectangular washbasins are available in different sizes and as a bowl. mylife’s symmetrical bathtub with its centrally-located tap, speaks a clear, consistent language understood only by a timeless, contemporary aesthetic. The clean and unobtrusive design infuses complexity only where needed, such as in the slim, straight back design of the toilet. mylife’s matching bathroom furniture series, LAUFEN’s ml-furniture, is tailored to mylife in white, wenge and daniele walnut finishes, with the option of caffe or white fronts. Elegant vanities and tall cabinets offset the sweeping horizontal lines of the washbasins. Generously proportioned, yet appealingly minimalistic, LAUFEN’s mylife collection series is yet another testament to Esslinger’s legendary reputation.
