DURAVIT EXPANDS SIEGER DESIGN'S SIGNATURE DARLING NEW COLLECTION Fresh sizes and features, including new C-bonded technique, showcase collection's endless versatility Duravit is honoring its classic Darling New collection with an expanded array of sizes, models, and configuration options. Created by the distinguished sieger design, Darling New features harmonious shapes highlighted by delicate edges. The series has been retooled to maintain its signature elegance but accommodate a greater range of bathroom settings thanks to new washbasin variants and rimless toilets. "At Duravit, we recognize the importance of our most enduring designs," notes Duravit USA President, Tim Schroeder. "sieger design's Darling New is a Duravit classic, and we're eager to incorporate some fresh updates that will make it even more valuable to the market." The most notable change is the incorporation of Duravit's new c-bonded technology with Darling New washbasins. This new manufacturing process works in tandem with the collection's ceramic washbasins, allowing the washbasin to fuse seamlessly with the surface of the vanity base to create a perfect, single unit. The actual thickness of the washbasin is hidden from view and reduced to a precise rim. The inside bowl has no overflow, and the ceramic cover adds the perfect finishing touch to the clean, purist design. Darling New washbasins, available in an impressive range of sizes varying from 20-40 inches, also now fit with Duravit's popular L-Cube furniture range. First launched in 2015, L-Cube is available in 30 finishes, both colorful and classic. There is also a choice between wall-hanging and floor- standing vanity variants with adjustable chrome feet, as well as single drawer or two pullout units, adding even greater versatility to the options for Darling New. The Darling New family now also includes a wall-mounted Duravit rimless ® toilet. The rimless technology offers additional convenience and easy maintenance thanks to an open flushing rim that enables a powerful flush: water flows in the form of a horizontal arc, and then vertically before flushing the entire inner surface of the bowl without splashing. As with all Duravit wall-mounted toilets, the Darling New rimless ® features a 1.1 combined gpf (gallons per flush), which exceeds current WaterSense requirements. It is also available with HygieneGlaze, an antibacterial ceramic glaze specially developed by Duravit to kill an unprecedented 99.9% of germs. For more information on Duravit, visit www.duravit.us.
