Equilibrio de Roca

Equilibrio de Roca is a bathroom concept design realized for the 2012 edition of jumpthegap®, the international design concept ideated and promoted by Roca, the Barcelona-based bathroom manufacturer.

Equilibrio, balance. Balance of a space’s architecture, of a design, but also balance as a psychophysical necessity of human beings. In this frenetic age, the bathroom, the space that ancients used to consider the center of human well-being, is now just a short-stay passage that we use before work and before sleep. Today, we need more than ever a space where we can forget the outside world, an environment to think, to calm down, and regenerate our overloaded and stressed minds, focusing on our soul, our body, our ‘naked’ self.

These anthropological necessities are translated into shapes and volumes, encouraging the soul and the body to stay at the center of the space, surrounding them with the simplicity of colors and forms, and refreshing them with the pure flowing of water.
