Swiss Bathroom Design — Approved Retailer
Laufen Bathrooms in Kingston upon Thames | Maison Decorum
Laufen is one of the world’s most respected bathroom brands — a Swiss manufacturer with over 130 years of heritage, celebrated for its precision ceramics, award-winning design, and commitment to sustainability. Maison Decorum is proud to be a Laufen Approved Retailer, and our studio in Kingston upon Thames is one of the finest places in Surrey to experience the full Laufen collection in person.
Swiss Precision, World-Class Design
Founded in 1892 in the Swiss town of Laufen, the brand has grown from a ceramics pioneer into a global leader in bathroom culture. What defines Laufen is its distinctive design philosophy — a fusion of precise northern European clarity with the warmth and sensuality of Italian design. The result is a collection of bathrooms that feel both architecturally considered and deeply liveable.
Laufen collaborates with some of the world’s most celebrated designers — including Konstantin Grcic, Patricia Urquiola, Marcel Wanders, and Toan Nguyen — producing collections that are genuinely collectible. Many pieces, including the Tam Tam washbasin and the VOLTA series, are recognised as design landmarks in their own right.
Central to the brand’s innovation is SaphirKeramik — a proprietary ceramic material that enables extraordinarily thin walls and precise geometric forms impossible to achieve with standard ceramics, without any compromise in durability or hygiene. It is this material that gives Laufen its unmistakable sculptural quality.
The Laufen Product Range
Ceramics and Sanitaryware
The heart of the Laufen range is its outstanding ceramic sanitaryware. Washbasins, wall-hung WCs, close-coupled WCs, and back-to-wall pans are available across a wide selection of collections — including Laufen Pro, Palomba, Meda, Lua, The New Classic, and the celebrated Kartell by Laufen series, developed in collaboration with the iconic Italian design house. Whether the brief calls for clean minimalism or expressive sculptural form, there is a Laufen ceramic collection to match.
Bathroom Furniture
Laufen’s furniture range is designed to complement its ceramics perfectly. Vanity units, drawer elements, wall cabinets, and tall storage units are available across collections including Lani, Sonar, Base, and more — each combining refined contemporary aesthetics with materials engineered for long-term performance in the bathroom environment. Soft-close mechanisms are standard throughout, and finishes range from matt white and gloss white to wild oak and traffic grey.
Baths and Shower Trays
Laufen’s bathing collection spans freestanding and built-in bathtubs in a range of forms and materials, from classic acrylic to premium composite. Shower trays are available in multiple sizes and finishes, designed to integrate seamlessly with the wider Laufen collection and suit both framed and frameless enclosure configurations.
Taps and Mixers
The Laufen taps range brings the same Swiss precision to every fitting in the bathroom. Collections including CITYPLUS, Citypro, SWISSTAP, NEJA, and LAURIN cover basin mixers, bath fillers, thermostatic showers, and concealed shower controls — available in a range of finishes including chrome, matt black, and brushed gold. Specifying Laufen taps alongside Laufen ceramics ensures a fully cohesive result.
CLEANET Shower Toilets
Laufen’s CLEANET range represents the brand’s most advanced thinking in personal hygiene. These shower toilets combine the functions of a WC and a bidet into a single beautifully designed unit — offering warm-water cleansing, adjustable settings, and seamless integration with the wider Laufen collection. Models including the CLEANET RIVA, MEDA, PRO, and NAVIA cater to a range of budgets and specification levels.
Why Laufen at Maison Decorum?
As a Laufen Approved Retailer, Maison Decorum is part of a carefully selected network of studios authorised to supply and advise on the full Laufen collection. Our studio in Kingston upon Thames is one of the few places in Surrey where you can experience Laufen’s ceramics, furniture, baths, and taps together in a properly designed setting — rather than viewing products in isolation on a screen.
We work with Laufen regularly across residential projects, from compact ensuites in Wimbledon and Twickenham to full master bathroom refurbishments in Cobham, Esher, and Weybridge. Our team knows the range intimately and will help you explore finishes, compare collections, and consider how individual pieces work together as a complete scheme.
We do not operate a rack-rate approach to pricing. We work with each client to build the right specification at a price that reflects the project as a whole.
