Free space as a central theme: Marc and Valerie Guderian need lots of space – shared space and individual space. Their bathroom provides a glorious stage for great design.
BACK TO HAMBURG: Marc and Valerie Guderian had spent many years living and working abroad when Marc decided to take over the helm of the family company from his father. It wasn’t an easy decision, says Marc Guderian. As the head negotiator of a multi-national enterprise he travelled the world – perhaps a little bit too much, as he admits.
Valerie Guderian, a choreographer, inhabits her own international cosmos, and has only a limited amount of time to spend with her husband in the new apartment in Hamburg. This makes the time they have together even more precious: “We always have so much to tell each other”, she says. “We like catching up while we cook.” She loves to begin evening like this with a tranquil hour in the bath – “just me, on my own”.
“I think that natural wood harmonises very well with the white enamelled steel”, says Valerie Guderian, looking at the washbasin. Valerie and Marc Guderian wanted their apartment and luxury furnishings to look as natural as possible. A bathroom suite made of enamelled steel was a perfect match for this design vision.
