Winner of the red dot 2009 award, mimo pairs color and character with environmentally-friendly design.
The mimo collection by Laufen is a refreshingly unconventional and exuberant bathroom suite. Designed for people with a zest for life that do not wish to be hampered with social conventions. Called the “Mini Cooper of the bathroom fleet,” this technically-sophisticated collection features scaled down sinks, toilets, vanities and a small bathtub, illustrating that big things come in small packages.
The mimo collection toys with curvaceous shapes and shimmering surfaces in pink, white and black. It is available in numerous color combinations as well as the exclusive mimo circular pattern. Even the sinks are available in two colors, including the drain covers below the basin. What’s special about mimo is that it tackles color combinations daringly right down to the shower curtain. (The shower curtain features an innovative anti-microbial treatment to reduce the possibility of mold and mildew build-up.) Laufen has even applied their Swiss ingenuity to the curtain rail system by designing a hidden-from-view track and curtain attachment method that offers the user a smooth and precise operation when opening and closing the decorative enclosure.
Best of all, mimo features eco-friendly materials, allowing bathers to enjoy a luxe setting while doing their part to save the planet. The furniture has an innovative, easy-to-clean and extremely resilient high-gloss surface finish made from recycled materials. Laufen’s ceramic experts have also devised some brilliant new ways of reducing water consumption in their toilets. With an enhanced water supply and flushing system, standard mimo toilets are WaterSense certified and operate at just 1.2 GPF, instead of the 1.6 GPF that is customary to most toilets.
