Elevate Your Bathroom: Patricia Urquiola’s Balcoon Collection Brings Designer Luxury at Accessible Prices

Article (news)

<p>There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when you step into a space designed with intention, where every curve, color, and texture speaks not just of style, but of soul. And now, thanks to celebrated designer <strong>Patricia Urquiola</strong>, that magic is more within reach than ever. </p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747723926171Metro.Style-10.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div>Her latest creation, the<strong> Balcoon bathroom range</strong>, is a love letter to modern minimalism and timeless elegance, designed to transform everyday spaces into deeply personal sanctuaries. And the best part? Urquiola has masterfully placed these pieces within a medium price segment—a sweet spot where premium quality meets accessible luxury. This, of course, will be available soon in Kuysen, Duravit’s longest partner in the Philippines.<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747726298411Metro.Style-11.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Balcoon is All About Sculptural Beauty, Everyday Functionality</strong></div><p><strong></strong>Balcoon is not just a bathroom collection; it’s architecture for the senses. With her signature sensitivity to form and texture, Urquiola crafts above-counter basins and wall-mounted pieces that feel less like fixtures and more like sculptural focal points. Think round and oval basins perched confidently on square plinths, playing with levels, shadows, and textures—creating a striking interplay of form that feels refreshingly modern, yet grounded in timeless design.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747726467311Metro.Style-12.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>The collection’s name, Balcoon, is no accident. As Urquiola herself shares, it captures the playful dance of heights, projections, and overlaps—a visual language that runs through every piece, from toilets and bidets to the most elegant of bathtubs.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747726668893Metro.Style-7.png" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><strong>A Palette Drawn from the Earth</strong></div><p>In a world often overrun by fleeting trends, Urquiola’s Balcoon range whispers of permanence. The star of the collection? Clay Terra Matt—an earthy, tactile terracotta shade that brings the ceramic pieces to life, emphasizing their handcrafted authenticity. Paired with hues that flow seamlessly from crisp whites to deep anthracites, the color story feels natural, timeless, and effortlessly chic.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747726842092Metro.Style-13.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>The bathroom furniture amplifies this mood, with finishes that move from smooth to ribbed, matte to lightly textured, infusing the space with a subtle, soulful dynamism. The terrazzo-look consoles and playfully asymmetric drawers bring just enough edge to keep the elegance interesting—proof that functional everyday design doesn’t have to feel ordinary.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747726937413Metro.Style-8.png" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p><strong>Designer Details Without the Designer Price Tag</strong><br id="isPasted"/>One of the quiet triumphs of Balcoon is how it folds premium features into an accessible offering. Built-in acrylic bathtubs with ergonomically designed interiors invite you to linger longer, while matching faucets in Chrome, Matt Black, and Stainless Steel not only complete the look but do so responsibly, with water- and energy-saving functions like Fresh Start and Minus Flow.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747727138751Metro.Style-9.png" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>Each faucet&#x27;s smooth, cylindrical handle melts into the body, creating a tactile experience that’s as delightful as it is practical. It’s this combination of thoughtful design, sustainability, and daily ease that sets Balcoon apart—not just a bathroom upgrade, but a lifestyle shift.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747727233694Metro.Style-14.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>Whether you&#x27;re redesigning your private bathroom retreat or curating a stylish space for a larger project, Patricia Urquiola’s Balcoon range offers a rare blend: high-concept design made invitingly real. It&#x27;s an invitation to reimagine the bathroom not just as a functional corner of the home, but as a stage for daily rituals, where design and life meet beautifully, effortlessly, and authentically.</p><p>And isn’t that the best kind of luxury?</p><p>Patricia Urquiola’s Balcon range will soon be available in Duravit’s longest partner in the Philippines, Kuysen.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong><u>Shop the Balcon Range</u></strong></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:900px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1747727509935Metro.Style-15.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Sanitary Ceramics</span></span></span></div><p>      Washbasins, wall-mounted in sizes 550, 600, 650 mm or as above-counter basins (round 450 mm, oval 550 mm)</p><ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-inline-start:48px"><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type:disc;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre"><p>Rimless toilets and bidets, wall-mounted or free-standing</p></li><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type:disc;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre"><p>Ceramic colors: White, White Satin Matt, Clay Terra Matt </p></li><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type:disc;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre"><p>DuraShield®* protective glaze</p></li></ul><p>* DuraShield® eliminates 99.99% of bacteria and is easy to clean.
