Rak-Skin and Rak-Des are the collections that Rak Ceramics is focusing on to address the need of our time: immersing oneself in atmospheres defined by tactile sensations and authentic values, with particular attention to sustainability

Moving away from the void virtuosity and overwhelming technological presence of our days and nurturing the ever-pressing need for physicality and authenticity: this is the mission of Rak Ceramics, a world-leading brand in lifestyle bathroom solutions and integrated systems for floors and walls, based in the United Arab Emirates. In constant search for new solutions, the company presents all the group’s proposals, including Rak-Des and Rak-Skin, at Fuorisalone 2025, concurrently with a particularly significant event: the opening of its first Design Hub in Milan. The location chosen is via Borgogna, in the heart of the Design District, which becomes the ideal setting for new proposals and solutions for projects on both small and large scales that continue to provide creative inspirations to international interior designers and architects. All under the banner of sustainability.

Rak-Skin, a collection of unconventional washbasins made from tactile and natural materials, is showcased in numerous variants, all with one goal: to convey feelings of comfort and warmth. The innovative materials used possess a delicate and enveloping quality, where colors, matter, and light interact on the surfaces, defining the character of spaces for a refined aesthetic. The impact is truly unique, designed specifically for extraordinary environments.

When paired with RAK Ceramics bathroom furniture featuring wood-effect materials, the RAK-Skin washbasins elevate the bathroom to a realm of exceptional comfort, achieved through a harmonious play of warm-toned finishes. Conversely, if enhanced with a stone effect, the washbasins become the focal point of the contrast, playing on the fusion of warm and cool tones for a soft and relaxing result.

Similarly, the RAK-Des collection evolves by embracing color to respond to the market trend. Characterized by an essential style that draws inspiration from and pays homage to Bauhaus, it includes not only sanitary ware but also a countertop washbasin and a freestanding washbasin with minimalist lines, like the style it is inspired by.

Rak-Des finds its highest expression in chromatic innovation: Matte Black, Matte Gray, Matte Cappuccino, Matte Greige, and Matte White. Conceived as an integral part of the Lifestyle Solution Provider concept, the ideal solution for Rak-Des is the combination with the RAK-Joy line of furniture, RAK-Joy Uno, and RAK-Plano in all available finishes.
