An award-winning, ground-breaking innovative product in the German and international design world: burgbad and Coco are delighted to have won the German Design Award 2017!

The German Design Council – the ultimate authority for brand and design in Germany – has invited entries for this coveted annual prize since 2012. It is awarded to honour unique design trends; more than 4,000 manufacturers have so far submitted their products or projects. In the "Bath and Wellness" category, the high profile international jury ultimately decided to give the award to burgbad, and Communications Manager Sabine Meissner accepted it on behalf of the company.

Coco: Individual, design-focused, functional

The award winning entry – the extensive bathroom furniture range Coco – was developed in collaboration with the Spanish design studio Lievore Altherr Molina. The design is as unusual as it is timeless, and couples a light, clear linearity with feminine softness in compact shapes. The interplay between round and square, symmetry and asymmetry, vertical and horizontal is also style defining. Simply made for a tastefully furnished bathroom in an urban environment, where living spaces are often of more compact proportions.

The vanity unit with a cast mineral basin is the central element and is available as a wall-mounted or a free-standing version on a graceful black metal base frame. The mirror cabinet with its almost poetic light effect is also innovative: thanks to the flow of the reflective surface, Coco's circular mirror door looks like the disc of the sun on the horizon when the indirect lighting setting is selected. For burgbad, the award is a wonderful success and clearly reaffirms our aim of making a long-term impact on international bathroom design with comprehensive design ranges.
