Rethink your bathroom with Danish design
Introducing Danish design to your bathroom lets you take a new perspective in a substantial way – even within the scope of the existing room, and without relocating any of the big things, like plumbing or outlets. The reason is that the minimalistic aesthetics of our bathroom furniture integrates so much functionality that it can free up space or offer extra storage in your bathroom. A wall-mounted cabinet with an integrated sink in sleek Danish design frees up floor space as well as air flow and makes the existing floor and wall surfaces come to their full visual potential.
- Rethink your shelves with super-organised drawers that free your walls and hold everything you need – right where your need it: in front of the mirror
- Rethink your mirror setup with an integrated sink that visually flows directly into the worktop
- If you are into DIY, you can choose to mount major parts yourself but will likely need authorised pros for connecting plumbing and electricity.
