black. Consumers intrigued by this new design
movement may want to consider Villeroy & Boch’s
newly expanded ‘Memento’ collection. With a
water closet (WC), bidet and several washbasin
variations in glossy black, Memento presents
a whole new array of options for bathroom
fashion. In addition, the chic Memento furniture
line features updated pieces highlighted by a
