“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.” Hans Hofman

The Nu collection represents a purity of visual expression and a synthesis of essential design elements: form, shape and colour. Nu, the French word for nude, reveals a collection that strips away the artifice to arrive at the essence of its timeless design. 6

Basin mixer. Pin handle. Mint green.

The collection features three different handles – Pin, Dome and Stripes – that are “dyed” in six glossy colours inspired by Roca’s Mediterranean DNA: green, blue, yellow, black, white and chrome. Nu presents a world of possibilities in different forms and finishes, offering unfettered creativity with multiple solutions to personalise the bathroom space. These streamlined and “sculpted” faucets embrace colour and versatility as inherent design elements. With its 35 millimetre body diameter, Roca’s thinnest to date, Nu blends ingenuity, sustainability and quality in an exciting new...

Pin, Stripes and Dome are stylistic objects that mix beauty and inspiration with functionality and simplicity. Here, form not only follows function but reinvents it. Rounded shapes are the leitmotif of Nu and the starting point for its original design. The Dome model embraces its rounded architectural form. It is inviting and unexpected, a soft-edged shape that is at once organic and strong. Based on the grooved knobs on old stereos, Stripes is like an architectural piece in that it combines the simplicity of its cylindrical form with the more decorative touch of its ribbed and textured...

The details found in each of these faucets reflects the uniqueness of this collection. The red and blue dots that indicate cold and hot are discreetly placed under the handles so that when the tap is turned on, the design creates a smiling face, a bit like that of a little English Guardsmen with a top hat and raised sword. This subtle detail adds an element of play into the everyday routine, establishing a connection with the user and stimulating the imagination. Basin mixer. Stripes handle. Glossy white.

The origin of the four new colours that make up Nu’s palette can be found in the green doors and blue windows of traditional whitewashed Mediterranean houses and the interiors of Barcelona’s early 20th century modernist buildings. Nu plays with colour in new and inventive ways, encapsulating the innovative hallmark of the brand. 1

The glossy, saturated surface embraces each of the six distinctive colours; the cobalt blue is almost regal, mint green is fun and powerful, honey yellow is sophisticated and surprising, titanium black and glossy white are always stylish and chrome is a must-have classic. These are bold colours that are perfectly comfortable in their own skin and adapt effortlessly into any bathroom space. Nu is a new frontier for architects, interior designers and individuals to expand their universe and create domestic spaces that raise the (colour) bar. Basin mixer. XL-Size. Pin handle. Chrome.

An unwavering commitment to sustainability has been foremost throughout each step of this process so that the design works in harmony with the environment. With the aerator hidden inside the faucet and the application of the Cold Start System, Nu’s timeless design reduces the flow of water every time it is used and avoids unnecessary C02 emissions. In terms of packaging and transportation, single-use plastics have been eliminated and the collection is made in Europe to help lower its overall carbon footprint.

Personalisation is at the heart of this new collection. There are no limits or preconceived ideas. Everyone can mix and match colours and shapes to suit their style, adapting it to small domestic spaces or larger commercial settings. The full range of six colours is available on faucets designed for washbasins, bathtubs, and bidets, as well as wall-mounted faucets for showers and washbasins, offering endless combinations. If personalisation is the heart of this collection, its guiding force has been the search for new solutions. Nu is designed to make users feel good through its bold and...

Studio Inma Bermúdez Inma Bermúdez (Spain, 1977) and Moritz Krefter (Germany, 1978) are the two faces, concave and convex, of the studio that has designed the “Nu” collection. “Moritz is the millimetre, the perfection, the technique,” she says. “Inma is the forms, the language, the concept”, he replies. With a studio and home in Valencia, they have been working for companies around the world since 2007, creating emotional objects that do not lose sight of their function. Their projects mix German essence and Mediterranean light, humour, irony, simplicity and respect for the environment....
