Bathroom design revolution: the interview with Mike Holland and James White of Foster + Partners
The birth of the MA project and the collaboration with Falper for a new collection of bathroom furniture.
Foster + Partners, one of the most prestigious architecture firms in the world based in London, recently presented its latest creation in the field of interior design: the MA bathroom furniture collection. In an exclusive interview, we had the opportunity to speak with Mike Holland, head of industrial design at Foster + Partners, and James White, senior partner at the firm, to discover the secrets and challenges behind this innovative collaboration with Falper, an Italian company specializing in bathroom furniture.
The MA project was born from Foster + Partners’ constant search for cutting-edge solutions in bathroom design. The main goal was to create a collection of furnishings that was functional, aesthetically appealing and able to integrate harmoniously into different architectural contexts. To realize this vision, Foster + Partners has chosen to combine its expertise with that of Falper.
The MA collection is distinguished by its clean, contemporary and elegant design. The furniture has been made using high-quality materials such as solid wood and marble, with great attention paid to details, from finishes to opening and closing solutions. Furthermore, Foster + Partners and Falper have integrated advanced technological solutions to offer an optimal user experience, combining aesthetics and functionality harmoniously.
During the project’s development, one of the main challenges faced by the team was finding a balance between functionality and aesthetics. The goal was to create furniture that was not only beautiful to look at, but also practical and suitable for daily use. Additionally, Foster + Partners and Falper placed great emphasis on environmental sustainability, using recyclable materials and energy-efficient solutions to ensure minimal environmental impact.
The collaboration with Falper was a key element in the success of the MA project. Thanks to the synergy between the two companies and the combination of their expertise, it was possible to translate Foster + Partners’ vision into an extraordinary bathroom furniture collection. Falper’s extensive experience in the bathroom sector helped overcome production challenges and achieve exceptional results.
Looking to the future, Foster + Partners and Falper expect to continue innovating in bathroom design and exploring new possibilities to offer even more advanced and exclusive solutions.
