Discover the New Balcoon Display at Littlejohn Bathrooms
We’re delighted to introduce a striking new showroom display at Littlejohn Bathrooms: Balcoon by Duravit, created in collaboration with internationally acclaimed designer Patricia Urquiola. For those familiar with contemporary bathroom design, the name will already carry weight. Patricia Urquiola’s work spans architecture, interiors and furniture design, and her distinctive aesthetic brings a refined yet expressive quality to every project she touches. With Balcoon, she has once again partnered with Duravit to create a bathroom collection that feels sculptural, modern and beautifully considered.

Who is Patricia Urquiola?
If you’ve ever searched “Who is Patricia Urquiola?”, you’ll know she is one of the most influential designers working today. Born in Spain and based in Milan, Patricia Urquiola is renowned for her ability to blend architectural precision with warmth and tactility.
Patricia Urquiola designs are instantly recognisable for their layered textures, soft geometry and thoughtful material choices. From high-end interiors to Patricia Urquiola furniture, her work consistently bridges the gap between functionality and artistry.
Her collaboration with Duravit continues this approach, transforming everyday bathroom elements into statement pieces that feel intentional and design-led.
The Balcoon Collection by Duravit
The new Balcoon display in our showroom showcases the strength of Duravit bathroom design at its most contemporary.
Balcoon features a carefully composed combination of:
Sculptural sanitaryware
Architectural vanity units
A striking integrated bath design
The sanitaryware is available in White, Matt White and Clay Terra Matt. Our showroom display is presented in the rich and tactile Clay Terra Matt finish. This earthy tone reflects the growing move towards natural colour palettes and soft, muted surfaces in modern bathroom interiors.
The Duravit Washbasin & Vanity Unit
The Duravit washbasin within the Balcoon range demonstrates Patricia Urquiola’s signature attention to proportion. Clean lines are softened with subtle curves, creating a balance between structure and elegance.
Paired with a beautifully detailed Duravit vanity unit, the overall effect is refined yet warm. The furniture complements the ceramics seamlessly, reinforcing Duravit’s reputation for cohesive bathroom collections.
Texture and tone play an important role here - something we are seeing increasingly in contemporary bathroom design. The result is a space that feels both minimalist and inviting.

A Distinctive Duravit Bath Design
One of the standout features of our new display is the Duravit bath. Finished in Matt White, it incorporates the surround as a seamless, all-in-one design which is quite unusual and visually impactful.
This integrated approach enhances the sculptural quality of the bath while maintaining a clean, architectural silhouette. It’s a perfect example of how Patricia Urquiola’s work rethinks familiar bathroom elements in a subtle but sophisticated way.
