The Cutting-Edge Technology of Laufen’s Industrial Tunnel Kiln
- Laufen has developed a CO2-free 100m industrial tunnel kiln, powered by solar and green electricity
- This world-first innovation streamlines production, firing products as they move through the tunnel
- No loading and unloading of products is required, reducing environmental impact
Laufen’s new technology has not only revolutionized the production process but has also led to the launch of its latest creation, the ‘Volta’ basin, designed by Swiss designer Yves Béhar. This sink is a masterpiece of modern design, combining form and function in a unique and captivating way.
The Unique Design of ‘Volta’
- Crafted using Laufen’s innovative SaphirKeramik, a high-performance ceramic material
- A complex interior and exterior profile, minimizing overall basin size
- A harmonious blend of form and function, making it a standout piece in bathroom design
“My inspiration for “Volta” comes from water, the element that has played an important role throughout my life,” says Yves Béhar. “I wanted the motion of water to be part of the experience, so the water moves in a circular motion like a river.”
The ‘Volta’ basin features a unique design that contrasts the simplicity of the outer form with the functional, yet unconventional, shape of the sink’s interior. This design allows water to pool at the bottom, making it ideal for activities like shaving or washing your face without filling the entire sink.
Collaboration and Innovation
“I wanted “Volta” to express Laufen’s incredible sustainability commitment, embodied in the world’s first industrial electric kiln that produces CO2-free ceramics,” says Yves Béhar.
This innovative sink is not just a design statement; it’s a testament to Laufen’s commitment to sustainability. The collaboration between Laufen and Yves Béhar is a shining example of how innovation can lead to groundbreaking results.
