Oliver Conrad: Purist and Minimalist Design for Villeroy  Boch

  The seal of Oliver Conrad is a purist style and a minimalist design. His works reflect naturalness and simplicity and are both original and functional. From his point of view, his success is not only due to the fact that he grew up in a family of architects, but rather to his curiosity and ability to listen.

  The successful collaboration with Villeroy & Boch started in 2000. The objective was and still is to combine their own ideas with external experience. During these years, Oliver Conrad has shown in multiple projects that he is the expert in designing high quality products, and this is especially reflected in the Bath and Wellness collections. His designs have received several awards and are considered authentic classics of contemporary architecture.

  Oliver Conrad has designed two different bathroom collections for Villeroy & Boch: the My Nature collection and the Architectura modular concept. Both have in common their striking and unique design and that they have been manufactured with select materials.

  My Nature

  The My Nature collection reflects the desire of customers to live in harmony with nature and take care of their resources. Oliver Conrad has taken the concepts of sustainability and naturalness seriously and has applied them elegantly to My Nature.

  The curved ceramic, delicate and fine is characteristic of the whole series. Another important component is the use of local woods, since the use of renewable raw materials was considered essential. These purist elements are combined with smooth lines and transitions, which stand out for their simplicity. The unique design offers a lot of room for a customized combination.

  Clear structures and treated materials convey a sense of well-being and protection. This was the goal of the collection: people and furniture in harmony with nature and its elements. The different elements can be placed to suit each in the bathroom. The bathtub, for example, can be fixed with a wooden element to the wall or placed free in the center of the bathroom.

  Architectura

  Architectura is an integral modular concept by Oliver Conrad, which was first presented to the industry at the ISH global fair in 2013.

  The collection offers the customer multiple possibilities for the individual combination. The different models are rectangular, circular or oval. Among the typical products of the collection are toilets, urinals or sinks. The latter have been designed using the modular concept.

  Noteworthy is the service around the product: professional users can contact an expert at any time by calling a direct help line. QR codes are also included on the manufacturer's labels. These contain information related to the product, offer help during assembly and can be read through a smartphone or a tablet.

  Red Dot Award 2011

  Oliver Conrad twice won the coveted Red Dot Design Award for the My Nature collection. In 2011 he impressed the jury thanks to his bathtub with wooden elements and his ceramic washbasin. The union of functionality and clear structures of the forms received a special praise for being unique in the market.
