Acquabella presents the Delia Collection: a state-of-the-art design

May 10, 2023

The new Delia Zero basin by Acquabella has an eye-catching, versatile design that has been created to work with any furniture collection, as well as Acquabella’s own Delia furniture.

Delia Zero is a semi-totem product with a deep and spacious basin and integrated drain, which draws attention to its special pleated relief on the lower part of the basin.

This softly wavy base, an absolute trend in current design circles, provides movement without cluttering the shape so that it delivers a harmonious balance with the smooth, homogeneous top. The entire surface is smooth to the touch thanks to its Zero texture.

Winner of the latest Archiproducts Design Award, the basin can be installed wall-hung, on a countertop with a vanity unit or with the new Delia furniture. The new Delia furniture has been designed to fit perfectly with the Acquabella washbasin, thus completing the collection. Its slender legs and Akron® shelf characterise this configuration, which provides space for storing bottles or other accessories.

Both the Delia basin and the shelf can be customised from over 2,000 colours, making it the ideal choice for luxurious and contemporary bathroom environments.

Delia is manufactured with Akron®, a resin and mineral filler material that gives high definition thanks to its superior technical properties. The collection is also quality patented by Acquabella and comes with a material guarantee that ensures hygiene and resistance to impact and thermal shock.

Bowled Over with Bathrooms to Love!

April 20, 2023

PJH has extended its Washbowl Collection from its Bathrooms to Love brand with the addition of a number of new models including this beautiful circular design to its Luxey range, finished in an elegant Matt Deep Blue colour.

Joining the Luxey family of vessel basins from Bathrooms to Love, this on-trend deep blue version adds to the appeal of range, satisfying the growing demand for indigo blues in the bathroom. It also teams up perfectly with other matt deep blue ranges in the Bathrooms to Love portfolio, such as the Statement furniture range and the Belmont Freestanding bath.

“Sales of Bathrooms to Love washbowls have seen good growth over the last year, with a 12% increase in sales. This is a result of the equally impressive growth we have recorded in our modular bathroom furniture category where the combination of basin units, worktops and vessel basins has proved highly popular,” explained Julie Lockwood, Product Manager, Bathrooms to Love.

“Creating bespoke bathroom looks, through the use of contrasting colours, textures and materials presents a great sales opportunity for stockists, particularly within the basin unit zone where many elements can be mixed and matched. Our washbowl category continues to grow and we have more new designs to come throughout the year, extending the choices yet further.”

A round, ceramic washbowl, the Matt Deep Blue Luxey model measures W355 x H120 xD355mm and joins other matt finished models in the Luxey range – white, black, grey and marble-effect. It includes an unslotted waste and can be teamed with either a tall basin mixer or wall-mounted basin mixer taps, from the wide choice of brassware within the Bathrooms to Love collection.

Like all the washbowls in the collection – which includes many different shapes, sizes and styles, as well as polymarble options, the sophisticated new Luxey Deep Blue model boasts a high quality design that is easy to clean, durable and with long-lasting looks.

Available to order now from PJH’s online Partners Portal™ platform, this new Luxey Washbowl is available from stock and on a Next Day Delivery service if required. Contact PJH to find out more about display deals, point-of-sale material, and all marketing collateral.

Bette presents new basins at ISH

March 14, 2023

New BetteBalance washbasins offer range of installation options – with four variants of one slender bowl design.

As a material for washbasins, glazed titanium steel offers significant advantages in terms of resilience and ease of cleaning. It also allows the creation of extremely slender, but durable products, with defined edges and almost weightless lightness in design. With BetteBalance, Bette is introducing four new bowl washbasins made of this material, which is as robust as it is elegant. With them, different areas of use and styles can be realised in one design language.

Developed for Bette by Tesseraux & Partner, there are four built-in and surface-mounted variants of BetteBalance. All have an ergonomically optimised, circular inner body with a diameter of 395mm, with the interior optimised both in terms of visual appeal and to minimise the splashing of water.

The undermounted and built-in washbasins are the classics for installation in bathroom furniture, with the slender rim created in only the thickness of the material itself. A cylindrical countertop washbasin and a washbasin bowl complete the range. This system of creating four variants from one bowl shape reduces manufacturing costs – and means the washbasins can be priced competitively compared to other materials.

The BetteBalance bowl basins are available in four styles and in numerous colours, including matt colours and sparkling effect colours.

The central waste outlet with enamelled cover, echoes the large waste outlet of the successful BetteAir shower tray. To create a flawless, easy-care surface, the basins do not have an overflow hole, with the waste remaining open, although covered, at all times.

Utopia expands 20mm solid surface worktop collection

November 30, 2022

Utopia has added four new decors to its exceptionally popular range of 20mm solid surface worktops. Available with a choice of inverted chamfered or chamfered profile, the new decors include three on-trend veined marble effects, namely, Imperial White, Palladian Grey and Tempest Black, plus Metropolitan Grey, a granite effect worktop. Imperial White and Tempest Black both offer striking patterns for a bold and dramatic statement effect whereas Metropolitan Grey and Palladian Grey are subtle patterns designed to blend unobtrusively with the overall interior design scheme of the bathroom.

The new decors combine the look of natural marble or granite with the convenience, warmth and versatility of a manmade material. All are solid cast which means the pattern continues throughout the thickness of the material adding to the realistic effect.

The new additions capitalise on current and future colour trends, complementing Utopia’s extensive range of door finishes. Together with the existing 20mm solid surface effects, Polaris Crema and Polaris White, Utopia is confident that these four new additions will offer the consumer a much broader and appealing choice, particularly in conjunction with its recent Roseberry launch.

October 20, 2022

Straight from the exhibition halls of Cersaie, Acquabella, a leading Spanish brand, is launching its nature-inspired Halo and Icon Slate collection.

The Halo Slate has a microtextured cornice which runs across the frame, becoming more defined as it joins the design-led efficient drainage system which runs discreetly around the perimeter of the tray allowing water to flow into the slightly raised plate trap.

Icon Slate is a wall-mounted sculptural totem, where practicality is beautifully fused with design to create a stunning structure. The Icon Slate totem narrows at the base, with a clever design device; incorporating a contrasting texture to highlight the shape. At the top, the totem opens to a wider basin, framed on three sides with a delicate profile.

Both the Halo Slate tray and the Icon Slate totem are made from Acquabella’s patented material Akron®

Akron® exclusively combines the properties of polyurethane with mineral fillers for an excellent, high-quality, durable anti-bacterial and anti-slip surface.

New IXMO by KEUCO helps deliver a coherent design

October 13, 2022

Consistency is vital when designing a bathroom, be it a refurbishment or a totally new project. Taps and mixers, washbasins and bathtubs, as well as fittings for the shower can all be coordinated. Keeping styles uniform will help avoid mix-and-match scenarios or a messy hodge podge of different colours and shapes.

Elegant and stylish, IXMO by KEUCO, provides the opportunity to create a finely coordinated bathroom design with the differently nuanced design language supplied by the spouts and handles.

KEUCO is offering three styles:

• IXMO PURE – the focus is classic, simple lines that comprise a round, straight spout and
rectangular handle

• IXMO SOFT – a softer style, curvaceous, smooth with a rounded spout and rounded handle.

• IXMO FLAT – this is a combination of the two styles bringing both round and angular shapes
together harmoniously.

Mixer taps and spouts work equally as well with countertop washbasins, under-counter, wall-hung and hand washbasins, as well as freestanding and fitted baths. To ensure that the shower fitting is in line with the rest of the bathroom a round or square cover plate is available, enabling it to coordinate with each of the three different IXMO.

The IXMO collection is available as a classic chrome, or with a black matt finish, which allows interior designers and end consumers alike to bring creativity into their bathroom design. For those with a preference for elements of black in the bathroom, a little extra design extravagance can be added by including the striking accessories in the KEUCO BLACK SELECTION.
