Fracture Bathroom Set

Fracture Bathroom Set

Fracture Bathroom Set is an innovative bathroom furniture collection that exemplifies deconstructivist design principles through its distinctive interpretation of fractured glass aesthetics in ceramic sanitaryware. Designed by Turkish designer Tolga Berkay in 2011-2012, this comprehensive bathroom ensemble comprises a monobloc WC pan, wall-hung WC pan, counter-top washbasin, and accompanying furniture pieces, all unified by their striking geometric surface treatments that create an illusion of shattered glass while maintaining full functionality. The collection's primary components are crafted from high-quality vitreous china and fine fire clay ceramics, with furniture elements constructed from wood, demonstrating exceptional attention to material selection and manufacturing precision. The design successfully overcomes technical limitations to achieve seamless integration of its fractured aesthetic across multiple surfaces while ensuring practical usability. Notable dimensions include a 690x360x950mm monobloc WC pan, a 560x360x340mm wall-hung WC pan, and a 600x450x160mm counter-top washbasin, complemented by furniture pieces measuring 1000x500mm with a total height of 850mm including the washbasin. The collection garnered international recognition when it received the Golden A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design category, acknowledging its innovative approach to bathroom fixture design. The project represents a significant achievement in translating architectural deconstructivism into functional bathroom elements, demonstrating how avant-garde design principles can be successfully applied to everyday objects while maintaining their essential utility.
