Minimalist bathroom fixtures by Norm Architects for Ex.t

While surfing on internet today I found this inspiring company ..... The Copenhagen-based Norm Architects designed a collection of minimalist bathroom fixtures & home furnishings for Ex.t that were inspired by Scandinavian design. The new designs include Stand, a bathtub and basin and Felt, a series of modular wall shelves. Earlier I wrote more blogs about this inspiring company Norm Architects, SEE HERE I hope you're inspired!
STAND:
Stand is inspired by those lightweight and elegant cast iron details, typical of 1920s and 1930s interiors, that stylistically characterised the Victorian era and the subsequent Art Nouveau and Art Deco decades. Designed for Ex.t.
 
FELT:
Felt in Danish means “field”, “area” or “frame” and refers to the spaces created by the grid by the various shelves. Felt is a modular wall unit which can be used to hang small accessories such as towels, bags and scarves, or it can simply serve as a graphic element. Designed for ex.t.
 
More about Norm Architects

By understanding minimalism as an aesthetic and simplicity as a philosophy of life, NORM aims at providing structures which gives a feeling of freedom. The justification of a product lies in its ability to differentiate: aesthetically and in functionality. With a determined focus on the good idea, right materials and fine craftsmanship, NORM's primary endeavour is to create useful products, appealing design and architecture that captures and inspire life".

Aren't they beautiful? Be Inspired .......
