The bathroom as a site of expression
Dutch trade publication Badkamer & Design features Studio LOHO and Sharon Van Overmeiren around the launch of an artistic ceramic bath collection at COLLECTIBLE 2026. The framing matters: the article addresses the bathroom not as a purely technical zone, but as a place where atmosphere, beauty and expression fully belong.
Studio LOHO's ceramic bathtubs and washbasins are shaped by hand and built with the same attention one would give to sculpture. They are meant to transform the emotional weight of a room rather than simply serve it. With Sharon Van Overmeiren, that approach becomes more explicit through relief, imagery and a stronger sense of narrative embedded in the clay.
Within the world of bathrooms and interior specification, Studio LOHO represents a different proposition — material-led design, artisanal production and objects that resist standardisation. The work does not separate performance from presence. By covering the collection in this way, Badkamer & Design confirms that ceramic bathroom design can operate at a higher level of cultural ambition.
