Bathroom sink basins continue to get more creative in their design approach and ambiance offered by their visual appearance. Such is the case with the Liaison sink basin from Villeroy & Boch. The first glance at this piece leaves you feeling with a breath of fresh air. I enjoy the futuristic feel created from the contrast between the white ceramic base and glass bowl. The glass bowl sure catches my eye. I also really enjoy the clean lines of this piece and the way that it sets on top of the tile. The single stainless water control departs from a traditional two control set to provide a captivating minimal look.

Here is the hands down winner for the coolest bath tubs and saunas from 2007. Duravit takes creation a step further than most are willing to go. Their philosophy is" Wherever. What ever. Anything goes. Fashion paves the way: Rules are broken trends old and new are reinvented". It is hard to believe that such a modern and progressive design got its roots in 1817 when the company was founded, a lot has changed. Today Duravit is a leading supplier of ceramic bathroom fixtures, bathroom furniture, bathtubs, and accessories that are stunning to say the least. My personal favorite is the Starck X Soaking Tub probably because I tend to slosh the water out all over the floor, and it is absolutely the coolest tub I have seen this year.

Water is the source of life. It is used for drinking, watering plants, cooking or bathing. Water in its gaseous form is called vapor or steam, which also plays important roles in health and relaxation. Steam showers have been popular for years, though in modern times this turned out to be more a part of the relaxation process. The truth is steam helps to open pores, relax muscles and increase blood circulation, not to mention the releasing of toxins and stress. Jacuzzi, the leader in hydrotherapy has joined with auto designer Pininfarina to create the Omega steam shower cubicle that packs a lot of technology into a great looking 100 x 120 x 221cm space. Inside the Omega Morphosis your body is treated to a combination of sensual effects including steam, vertical hydro massage functions, hand held and fixed raindrop shower heads, and a caressing waterfall. For the complete relaxing effect there is a nicely curved teak finished seat that you would expect to be part of any well appointed spa. A black and white steam shower is available as shown for about $27000 U S.
