In music, they say that the spaces between the notes are as important as the notes themselves. Likewise in art, negative space plays an equally important compositional role. This idea of 'the space between' also lies at the centre of MA, a new collection by Foster + Partners created in collaboration with go-to Italian bathroom brand Falper. The deconstructed constituents are designed to perform sculpturally as well as functionally, with the spatial intervals between elements also thoughtfully considered.
Space, or more precisely, the lack of it, is also a core theme of Falper's Small Living Kitchens™ – a concept that caters for contemporary living spaces that may be limited in size but not in design ambition.

Philosophy: The Living Bathroom is the key concept of the Falper philosophy – the idea of the bathroom as a sort of extension of the living space. A space that, just like the rest of the home, reflects our character, our aspirations, our tastes. The bathroom is an intimate, personal space, the place where we focus on our well-being.
·
The Living Bathroom concept amplifies this idea, making the bathroom a place that truly reflects our lifestyle. Falper transcends the canonical concept of well-being, interpreting it not just as self-care, but also as the pursuit of beauty that nourishes the soul. Beauty perceived through all the senses, to appreciate the natural qualities of materials and the fineness of finishes: the scent and warmth of real wood, the velvety effect of polished marble, the delicate smoothness of a perfect 45° edge.
