Bath products brand Duravit USA has introduced a new bathroom series by architect and industrial product designer Patricia Urquiola. The Balcoon collection, the brand says, offers accessible luxury, nature-inspired finishes and a fresh architectural approach to modern bathrooms.
Now available to the North America market, the collection marks the brand’s first collaboration with Urquiola, signaling a new chapter in its long legacy of iconic design partnerships, says Duravit USA, the U.S. subsidiary of the German brand Duravit AG, which was founded in 1817.

“We’re thrilled to bring Balcoon to the North American market as it showcases our commitment to making exceptional design part of everyday life,” says Bob Downie, president, Duravit North Americas. “This special collaboration with Urquiola marks a new era for Duravit, defined by a more expressive design language, practical innovation, and attainable luxury.”
Inspired by architectural forms, Balcoon balances a refined, purist aesthetic with a bold design perspective across sinks, furniture and bathtubs, Duravit says. “With its blend of premium features and exceptional craftsmanship, Balcoon sets a new benchmark for modern bathroom design, offering attainable luxury at an attractive mid-range price point.

The brand explains that Balcoon breaks from conventional ceramic forms, with Urquiola envisioning a dynamic interplay between soft curves and square geometries. These sculptural shapes are complemented by clean lines and a natural, timeless color palette (including the new clay terra matte finish) to create layered, inviting compositions. Balcoon also offers two distinct furniture styles for modular storage to suit a variety of spaces, an ideal choice for projects ranging from residential to hospitality.
“Balcoon is born from two pure geometries–a cube and a cylinder–but through subtle shifts in form and perspective, it brings dignity and recognition to the medium price segment,” Urquiola says, reflecting on her design collaboration with Duravit. “We wanted color, depth and modularity to create a bathroom that feels architectural, versatile and alive.”

Sinks with DuraShield
Available in a variety of shapes and three curated finishes–white gloss, white satin matte and clay terra matte–Balcoon sinks enable a high degree of personalization. The newly introduced clay terra matte stands out with its authentic, handcrafted character, adding depth to the collection. Each piece is finished with the DuraShield glaze, a protective coating infused with positively charged metal ions that creates an invisible barrier proven to eliminate 99.99% of bacteria, the company says, adding that the technology combines refined design with enhanced hygiene performance and is backed by a lifetime warranty for complete peace of mind.

Bathtubs
Available in white gloss or white matte finish options, Balcoon’s drop-in bathtubs integrate effortlessly into the overall design language. A gently raised oval rim sits on a seamless acrylic base that extends into the corners, simplifying cleaning while minimizing splashing. This design also provides a practical surface for keeping bath essentials within reach. Inside, the ergonomically contoured shape supports both relaxed bathing and comfortable showering.

Bathroom Furniture
Balcoon bathroom furniture is defined by two distinct design directions and a choice of wooden or mineral consoles. Wooden finishes include slate brown, umbra, sand beige, ivory and terraccino, while mineral finishes are available in lava structure, concrete structure and basalt structure. Finishes range from clean, single-tone surfaces to sophisticated terrazzo styles, with the latter adding texture and a tactile dimension to the space. Select vanity units feature asymmetrical storage layouts, creating subtle visual interest that can be further emphasized through contrasting color combinations.
