Working with Design Research Studio under the creative direction of renowned British designer Tom Dixon, Laufen products have been chosen to help give a modern twist to Mondrian London at Sea Containers. The new urban boutique hotel from the Morgans Group is an iconic building on London’s South Bank, offering guests the opportunity to relax in luxury and comfort throughout. Exuding 1920s cruise ship glamour, the guest bathrooms have been fitted with Laufen sanitaryware.

Fitted to a very high standard and drawing design inspiration from the building’s transatlantic narrative, Laufen Pro wall-hung WC pans have been selected for each of the hotel’s 359 rooms and public washrooms.

Offering a simplistic yet stylish design, the Laufen Pro WC fits seamlessly into the hotel bathrooms, offering guests an unrivalled level of comfort.

“With the Sea Containers building being such an iconic structure and of such historical importance to the city, it is essential that the interior of the hotel also lives up to expectation,” commented Ilker Hussein, Laufen Bathrooms’ commercial director.

“We were delighted to work with Tom Dixon and his team in order to help create beautiful bathroom spaces that help cement the hotel’s reputation as a luxurious destination in which to stay while visiting London,” he added.

Part of the Morgans Hotel Group, the Mondrial London at Sea Containers is located on the city’s fashionable South Bank district
