From its origins to icon status

Inspired by buckets and bowls, Philippe Starck teamed up with Duravit in 1994 to create the Starck 1 Barrel: a vanity that was groundbreaking in terms of craftsmanship and remains influential to this day, considered an absolute classic in bathroom design. The Starck 1 Barrel's sense of form and function secures Philippe Starck a place of honor in the history of bathroom design.

Iconic Starck Barrel

The famous Starck Barrel in the Duravit Starck 1 Series echoes the archaic form of the bucket and bowl. This designer piece is available in various matt and high-gloss lacquered finishes and real wood veneer. The matt glass of the shelf with chrome railing inside the Starck Barrel shows off the optional, glare-free LED lighting to its best advantage. The light switches on and off automatically when the doors are opened and closed.

With the redesigned Starck Barrel for the 30th anniversary, the handles can now also be customized in 5 different finishes. A total of four colors are available for the sink, in white and black, each in a glossy and matte finish. This means that the iconic vanity unit can be combined with almost any bathroom, whether as a tone-on-tone solution or as an atmospheric counterpoint.

The Starck Barrel is now even more elegant than before thanks to innovative c-bonded technology. This creates a precise edge between the characteristic base and the vanity, further emphasizing the overall aesthetic. The connection between the two elements is almost seamless, creating a sophisticated, continuous look.
