Open to all Duravit Showrooms within the UK & Ireland, entries can be submitted from now until 10th September 2021. During this time, Duravit UK invites showroom designers to submit a design for a showroom display space which must include the complete White Tulip series, for the chance to win products specified upto the value of £15,000 (ex VAT).

A panel will judge the entrants based on creativity, use of the White Tulip series and overall use of the showroom space.

The winner will be announced in October 2021. The final showroom display must be realised by December 31, 2021 to qualify for the prize. Martin Carroll, Managing Director of Duravit UK mcomments:  “We are delighted to be partnering with Virtual Worlds for this exciting competition which will hopefully uncover the extensive design talent within our showroom partners and the industry”.  We are very excited about the launch of another Philippe Starck series and will be very interested to see how our showroom partners can create their interpretation of the environment this series deserves.

Full terms and conditions can be viewed on the website.

Lauren Sutton, Head of the Design Hub at Virtual Worlds comments: “Virtual Worlds are delighted to be working with Duravit and the White Tulip design competition, which will help to showcase creative design within the bathroom industry and we look forward to seeing how our 3D and 4D tools can help create truly wonderful spaces”.

White Tulip is the first full bathroom created entirely by Philippe Starck. From bathtub, washbasins and furniture, toilets and bidets, to connected mirrors and a complete collection of faucets, the delicate and elegant form of all components within the series echoes the organic silhouette of a tulip in bloom, exuding an sculptural and affectionate character. Expressive and timeless design combined with first-class workmanship and cutting-edge technologies to satisfy the highest standards.
