Geometry, light and matter, the three axes in Corbiau’s work, can also be felt in his private dwelling. The bathroom is like a diamond in the rough: you can almost feel the raw natural power of the speckled Pierre de Vals. This quartzite natural stone is known from Christ & Gantenbein’s annex to the Kunstmuseum Basel and Peter Zumthor’s Thermes de Vals. The stone’s application in large horizontal and vertical planes create rhythm that makes its physical impact even greater. A bathroom from the New Stone Age: a hedonistic cell to ground yourself in.
