Tura

Inspiration and the importance of details

The great Spanish architects shared an understanding about the importance of light and shadow and how shutters can be designed so as to embrace the sun while also protecting from it.

This common thread of Mediterranean design, in which light is filtered and softened like a game of hide and seek, is reflected in Tura’s design. The hallmarks of the collection are seen in its voids, linear forms, geometric shapes and subtle earthy textures that absorb and add warmth. Tura is a return to the essence of the past but reinvented for the present.

Barcelona born designer Andreu Carulla designed Tura in collaboration with the Roca Design Center, translating these initial concepts into something concrete. Carulla sought to bring the landscape of his childhood in the Costa Brava to the collection’s design through materials, forms and colours. The vertical lines of shutters, the void that filters a ray of sunlight, the soft finishes and natural textures evoke the beauty and history of the Mediterranean and its architecture. These elements were an essential part of the designer’s vision for a bathroom collection intended for everyday use.

Sustainability is naturally woven into the collection through its timeless approach to design and production. The longlasting and 100% natural ceramic materials are meant to last generations while new materials such as recycled outdoor fabrics for the cushion, the felt boxes with recycled cork lids and FSC® certified wood used in the furniture and trays reinforce the importance of considering the environmental impact at every step.
