Volevatch
Oscillating between past and present, tradition and modernity, the Volevatch endeavor is an unmistakably beautiful story. In 1975, during his flea markets strolls, Serge Volevatch - then intended to pursue a career as an urbanist - discovered a genuine admiration for period style bathrooms. Since these days, Serge Volevatch has become an expert in the art of restoring antique bathroom fittings, creating his own brand around a unique principle: authenticity of style and modern function. While committed to the conservation of the French bathroom legacy, he occasionally lets his creativity free to revisit certain great classics.
