About

Duravit Design Center is a trapezoidal 62 foot (19 meters) high building with five floors used as showrooms for bathroom furniture, shower trays, bathtubs, and toilets manufactured by Duravit. With booking, it's also possible to take a bath in some of the models.

However, the building inaugurated in 2004, is not just a showroom. It's also home to a toilet sculpture standing 22 feet high (7 meters) with a width of 18 feet (5.5 meters). The giant sculpture also acts as an observation deck for visitors.
