Spanish bathroom brand Roca works together with designer Inma Bermúdez to present the Nu collection. It is a colorful update of the bathroom functions made with inspiration from Mediterranean architecture. Defined by bold tones of yellow, blue, and green, the capsule is comprised of six glossy colorways, which have been chosen for their ability to stand out against the white bathroom canvas.
Bermúdez explains, "Our initial inspiration came from whitewashed Mediterranean houses with their blue, green, and red doors." Other notable references include the mosaic floor tiles in a colorful wash seen in Modernist Spanish apartments. The capsule was inspired by an "explosion of color in interior design", according to the designer. The small dotted details in blue or red indicate hot and cold water, which is just below the faucet's handle and can only be seen when the tap is opened, creating a smiley face with the faucet's body.
