Clerkenwell Design Week will see the UK launch of Bette’s flattest ever shower tray, the BetteUltra Space, and its new colour, ‘Salvia’ which will be shown on the BetteSuno bath, designed by Barber Osgerby. Bette will also be displaying a selection of its counter-top washbasins, in a wide range of colours.
All Bette shower trays, baths and basins are made of glazed titanium-steel and are durable, easy to clean, fully recyclable and come with a 30-year warranty, making them as suitable for hotels, restaurants and bars as they are for private homes.
New BetteUltra Space shower tray
The new BetteUltra Space shower tray is Bette’s flattest-ever shower tray. It has a minimalist, timeless design and an ultra-flat height of just 15mm. It can be installed flush with the floor or slightly raised and comes in a choice of 20 sizes from 800 × 800 mm to 1700 × 800 mm and in a wide range of colours.
New colour – Salvia
Bette’s new colour, ‘Salvia’, an elegant glossy sage green, will also launch in the UK at Clerkenwell Design Week. It joins Bette’s existing 30 Key Colours, which are available on the entire Bette enamelled-steel range of shower trays, baths, and washbasins.
Two colour ranges and new colour fan
Bette’s colour expertise is demonstrated through its two colour ranges: Key Colours and Bespoke Colours. Key Colours offers a choice of 31 colours, available across all Bette’s shower trays, baths and basins, while Bespoke Colours are 40 additional colours, including eye-catching shimmering effect colours. They are available on specific products and can be used to create colour accents and stylish focal points.
All Key Colours and Bespoke Colours are included in Bette’s new free colour fan. Its format and accurate colours are designed to make it easy select colours to create a complementary colour scheme by holding the Bette colours against other items to be included.
BettesSuno by Barber Osgerby – now in Salvia
Bette’s new colour, ‘Salvia,’ will be shown on the BetteSuno freestanding bath and basins, which were designed by Barber Osgerby.
In collaboration with Bette, the British design studio Barber Osgerby developed the exclusive BetteSuno bathroom collection, which includes a freestanding oval bath and two washbasins—all made of glazed titanium steel and with a 30-year warranty.
Jay Osgerby commented: “The form invites engagement, and its exactness is achieved through expert engineering and the use of enamelled steel, which is a far superior material for sanitary ware.”
The collection is characterised by a pared-down design approach with the bath featuring an outwardly projecting rim and referencing classic bath design. The collection is now also available in the new sage green colour, Salvia, on display at Clerkenwell Design Week.
Basins in a choice of colours
In addition, Bette will display a selection of its basins, which are all available in 31 Key Colours. They combine style and colour with durability, ease of cleaning, and a 30-year warranty, making them ideal for restaurants, bars, and hotels as they are for private homes.
Bette sustainability
Bette products can support a more sustainable circular economy approach, in which products are re-used and recycled. The glazed titanium-steel material from which products are made is so durable that all products come with a 30-year warranty. This means that, when a bathroom is being refurbished, Bette’s baths, shower trays and basins will often be re-used or will be sold for re-use elsewhere. The products are made from natural materials and can be recycled entirely. They are also extremely easy to clean, with minimum cleaning products required.
Where possible, carbon-neutral green steel is used at no extra cost to customers. Bette has been buying significant quantities of green steel since 2021.
Bette also makes its manufacturing processes as environmentally friendly as possible. It generates electricity and heat from combined heat and power plants and solar energy, and when the sun shines, it creates 2/3 of its electricity requirements from solar energy.
