The Famous Bathrooms exhibit is a free interpretation of the bathroom space inspired by famous personalities who have shaped history. It explores the concept of the bathroom as the realm of well-being, a room to be furnished and customised while also being the part of the house closest to the product sectors of Cersaie. It consists of a series of spaces inspired by figures who have excelled in their various fields from classical times through to the present day, from the Beatles to Sigmund Freud, from Coco Chanel to Piet Mondrian and from Le Corbusier to Maria Callas.
