Agape defines the modern bathroom as an experience space
Agape is one of the world leaders in bathroom architecture. Based in Italy, the traditional company has built up a reputation for timeless solutions in a wide variety of shapes and materials. Since 1973, Agape has continued to surprise with unique products and the sophisticated design of bathroom environments.
A bathroom - in the middle of the forest
One of Agape's latest collections is the "Outdoor Collection", which the company launched in April of this year. Agape takes up the theme that products can always "escape" from their usual atmospheres and thus reposition themselves in surprising new ways. Body care is the focal point of the bathroom. This moment is tied to defined environments.
In the outdoor collection, Agape dissolves these boundaries and positions the bathroom in nature. The blue of the sky, the wind in the trees, the rustling of leaves, the scent of wood - Agape uses this inspiring backdrop to expand the bathroom.

Bathtub reminiscent of a large washbasin
Another innovation from the Italian bathroom manufacturer is a convertible bathtub: recessed into the floor, free-standing in the room or mounted in a niche - and wonderfully square. The mix of Exma solid surface material and various types of stone and marble give it a special touch with a timeless look. The Exmar material also makes it possible to create a narrow or wide rim for the In-Out and retain the heat of the water for a long time. In addition, a resin-quartz mixture gives the surface a feel that is both silky and warm. The bathtub is available in various colors.
New concept from star designer Konstantin Grcic
With the Mach 2 line of accessories, the well-known German industrial designer Konstantin Grcic revisits a range that he designed for Agape in 2000. In doing so, he introduces innovative materials into the bathroom.
Rounded shapes now characterize the otherwise striking contours of Mach 2 and create a calm and clear atmosphere with their surface colors in grey or black. This is particularly useful for smaller bathrooms. Mach 2 includes various shelves, soap and tissue dispensers, hooks, towel rails and waste garbage cans in polished or satin-finished stainless steel.
A classic reissued
The Spoon bathtub is one of Agape's classics. The company has now further developed the twenty-year-old classic: In the new version, the formal, and material qualities of the iconic Spoon bathtub have been optimized. Agape has also taken advantage of the latest advances in manufacturing technology and enriched the bathtub with a more sophisticated geometry and thinner edges. Spoon is made from bio-based Cristalplant and is available in white or two-tone in light or dark gray.
