275 Years Creating Homes - Homage to a classic

A special collection for a special year: to mark the company’s 275th anniversary, Villeroy & Boch is breathing new life into a bathroom design classic with “Homage to Hommage”. The result is both retro and modern, classic and trendy. The secret: Homage to Hommage retains its original character with traditional Victorian shapes – while incorporating a sensational twist with the new trend colour of Pure Black. A design with equal appeal for lovers of nostalgia and trendsetters.

A journey through the history of bathroom design

As a new edition of the Hommage collection, a success story for over 20 years, Homage to Hommage transports design enthusiasts back to the early years of the 20th century, when the bathroom was just embarking on its transformation into a home spa. Completely new and very elegant looks were being revealed in bathrooms in the world metropolises of the day, from Berlin to London and Paris. Opulent shapes and premium materials transformed the humble bathroom into a personal haven dedicated to body care and beauty. This influence cleverly transports Homage to Hommage into the present day.

Statement piece: Pedestal washbasin in Pure Black

The highlight of the collection: the iconic pedestal washbasin with the distinctive stepped design that adds a historic touch to the ceramic of Homage to Hommage. The perfect complement: the new 3-hole “Mettlach” tap in Chrome or Brushed Gold engraved with the pattern of the traditional “Mettlach tiles” and the coordinates of the Old Abbey, Villeroy & Boch’s headquarters. Homage to Hommage is complemented by a free-standing bath with nostalgic feet and delicate Wilhelminian-style furniture in wood or a paint finish with an elegant marble panel that impresses with charming details such as ceramic handles. The optional trend colour of Pure Black gives Homage to Hommage a modern update: the captivating new black shade transforms the classic with a completely new look and is also available as a coordinating outer colour for the bath and feet in the range. The classic therefore not only pays tribute to the charm of days gone by, it also radiates its very own mysterious glamour.
