Tura Collection: Roca’s Tribute to Barcelona’s Formalist Architecture

Roca, a name synonymous with excellence in the world of sanitary ware, has long been celebrated for its ability to blend innovation and timeless elegance. In the ever-evolving world of bathroom design, the renowned Spanish brand continues to push the boundaries with its latest offering – the Tura Collection to the Hong Kong market. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of modern aesthetics, this collection is set to captivate design enthusiasts and discerning homeowners alike. It is a testament to the brand’s commitment to creating products that not only enhance the functionality of a space but also elevate the overall design experience.



In a unique collaboration, the Spanish design powerhouse has partnered with renowned international local designer Andreu Carulla to create the Tura Collection – a tribute to the iconic formalist architecture that has defined the visual landscape of Barcelona. Carulla, who shares Roca’s deep appreciation for the Mediterranean character and functionality-driven design ethos of Barcelona’s celebrated architects like Sert, Coderch, Miralles, and Bofill, has meticulously imbued the Tura Collection with design cues inspired by their work.


“I always wanted to work with Roca because it makes incredible high-quality products. In addition, the use of ceramics and geographical proximity made it a perfect match. Later, I discovered we spoke the same language,” explains Carulla.


The collection’s name is a nod to this inherent connection, derived from the Spanish words for “architecture” and “culture” – a testament to how the built environment is inextricably woven into the cultural fabric of Barcelona. Carulla’s design approach for Tura is one of pared-back simplicity and functionality, taking cues from the clean lines, intersecting volumes, and interplay of light and shadow that define the formalist architectural style. The washbasins, for instance, feature a concealed drain and an interior design that mimics the patterns cast by shutters and pergolas – a subtle nod to the Mediterranean aesthetic.



Featuring a strong architectural aesthetic, the collection combines square and straight lines with soft edges and subtle curves, resulting in a mesmerizing and modular appearance. This bold and unapologetic design language sets the Tura Collection apart, making it a true statement piece in any bathroom. One of the standout features of the Tura washbasins is the innovative and elegant hidden linear drain. Seamlessly integrated into the ceramic basin, this unique design element creates a minimalist and sleek surface, free from the visual distractions of a traditional drain. It’s also proudly produced from Europe.


This innovative approach not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also simplifies the cleaning and maintenance of the basin, making it a practical and functional choice for the modern bathroom.



By blending bold architectural elements, innovative functionality, and a keen eye for detail, the brand has created a collection that is destined to captivate design enthusiasts and homeowners alike.


In essence, the Tura Collection is Roca’s way of paying homage to the architectural legacy that has shaped the distinct character of Barcelona. Through its partnership with Andreu Carulla, the brand has successfully translated the principles of formalist design into a contemporary bathroom range that celebrates the city’s rich cultural heritage.
