Vitra bathrooms began as a ceramic-ware factory in Kartal near Istanbul in 1942 and quickly grew to become the main supplier to the Turkish market. By the early 1980's Vitra was a major exporter of bathroom products to the major European markets. The Vitra bathroom philosophy is that the bathroom should be a living space for individuals to spend time on personal care, rest, read and above all be comfortable. The Vitra bathrooms range now encompasses bathroom pottery, brassware, furniture and bath, in fact everything you need to create a perfect bathing haven.
