Bathroom collection

Achog Urquiola: Advantages and features

The bathroom collection is called Akhog Urquiola: it was created by Patricia Urkiola for the brand Achog. By the way, Patricia became the first woman-designer to cooperate with the famous German brand. The result was impressive: water is traditionally considered the female element, and Patricia developed an interior that was immediately nicknamed the «embodiment of femininity». But in fact, it takes into account the needs of both men and women, since it was created for an imaginary couple in love. According to Patricia, the bathroom is a place for solitude and the gentle contact of loved ones. So, it is important to organize the space so that it is possible to “observe the distance” and communicate without barriers. Patricia Urkiola was born in Spanish Ovedo in 1961. In 1998, she opened her own design studio, and since 2004 has been working with the Achog brand. The objects of the Achog Urquiola collection constantly receive prestigious awards: for example, a washbasin that resembles an old basin in the form, in 2011 was marked by the main design prize of Germany. Patricia Urkiol is rightfully called the “queen of eclecticism”: experts agree that she has no equal in the ability to combine incompatible. In her collections, the past is combined with modernity and harmoniously intertwined a variety of stylistic directions. In her work, Patricia is always focused on sensuality and nostalgia: the designer seeks to wake pleasant memories, to call a person to dream.
