Architect-Designed Bath Accesssories from Germany

February 26, 2013

Designed by architect Theo Keller and manufactured in a locksmith’s shop in Southern Germany, the stainless steel bathroom series for Thomas Hoof Produkt won a Red Dot Award in 2004. All components—from the towel rod to the toilet roll holder—are made from a folded, buckled, and turned stainless steel rod 8 mm in diameter. Keller calls his series “definite, timeless, ascetic”—we think these pieces would work equally well in a traditional or modern bath.
