Duravit and Patricia Urquiola present Balcoon-Scapes

For Duravit, the collaboration with Patricia Urquiola stands for an approach which broadens the brand's creative spectrum and puts a fresh perspective on the bathroom as a distinct setting in its own right. It is in this spirit that the immersive installation Balcoon-Scapes is to be presented at Milan Design Week 2026 as an artistic project which commutes central elements of the Balcoon bathroom range into an abstract, sculptural landscape.

The installation, developed by Urquiola exclusively for Duravit, will go on show at the Gran Meliá Palazzo Cordusio in the heart of Milan. It will be staged as a free, experimental examination of form, materiality and spatial effects. Balcoon-Scapes will invite visitors to experience design as a dialogue between object, space and perception – consciously detached from the functional context of the bathroom.

In parallel with the installation, Duravit will be presenting its expertise in premium bathroom design in the Milan showroom at Via San Gregorio 49/51. Visitors will experience a meticulously curated interior world featuring iconic ranges by Philippe Starck, Cecilie Manz and Studio F. A. Porsche, as well as technological highlights from the SensoWash portfolio. Duravit will also be presenting an exclusive preview of the new items in the 2026 Balcoon collection, demonstrating the ongoing development of the range's design.

A shuttle service will run between installation and showroom at 30-minute intervals from 21 to 24 April, enabling a seamless experience combining art installation and product presentation.
