Laufen at Designjunction – The Gem Room
A conceptual cooperation between Laufen and Studio Appétit inspired by SaphirKeramik.
Laufen, the Swiss bathroom manufacturer, celebrates SaphirKeramik, its latest revolutionary innovation, during the London Design Festival with an extraordinary and exclusive installation at Designjunction’s new venue.
The “Gem Room”
Celebrating refined design and exquisite taste, this unique destination, in the old jewellery workshop of the former Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design, seems the most natural venue to present SaphirKeramik, the material which contains the derivatives of sapphires, using the medium of a unique and exclusive interactive eating experience created by Studio Appétit.
The Gem Room at Designjunction will be an innovative combination of a multi-purpose space, with a modular installation, changing its purpose at different times of the day, from dynamic design space to an interactive eating experience. Included in the modular installation will be The SaphirKeramik Project, as initially showcased through the concepts from Konstantin Grcic and Toan Nguyen last year at Designjunction and introducing The “Impressoes Project” a collective design project in SaphirKeramik, from Brazilian designers, architects, photographers and artists which premieres in Sao Paolo before making its UK debut just one week later at Designjunction.
Studio Appétit will present alongside this collaboration, it’s newly released products of Things of Edible Beauty exploring the aesthetics and ornamental value of food.
