A touch finer

For nearly 270 years Villeroy & Boch has been shaping advancements in bathroom ceramics. Its newest material "TitanCeram" allows for washbasins that are not only exceptionally fine, but incredibly robust.

Without "TitanCeram" it would simply not have been possible to realize the design – “Octagon” is cast by experienced staff members by hand.

In order to be able to make such thin ceramic pieces the “Octagon” basin is cast in many small parts, unlike the usual practice of two-section basins.

In order to produce the material "TitanCeram", natural raw materials such as feldspar, quartz, clay and titanium dioxide are processed into a homogeneous ceramic mass.

The milling, mixing and filtering of the components are accomplished locally at Villeroy & Boch in Mettlach.

Thanks to the specially developed glaze for the "Octagon", the ceramics also boasts a high-grade and particularly resistant​ surface texture that protects it ideally against external factors.

The designer Kai Steffan used the new material "TitanCeram" for his column wash table "Octagon": The outer edge of the wash table is only 5 millimeters thin.
