Back to Black Inspiration for PJH Italian Brassware

June 16, 2021

PJH has extended its Bathrooms to Love brassware collection by adding two new families, MAIRA and LYS, to its luxury Italian brassware brand, VEMA, which is exclusive to PJH in the UK.

Widely known in Europe, the Italian-designed Vema range was added to the PJH bathroom portfolio two years ago to complement the Bathrooms to Love brassware category, sitting at the premium end of the choice of taps and showers. Having proved popular with its national network of retailers, PJH has added some new designs to the exclusive collection including this flawless, matt black range to the new Maira brassware family.

With a beautiful matt finish, the MAIRA MATT BLACK range boasts an effortlessly stylish design featuring a minimalist tubular shape, soft round curves and a slim spout. Simplistic in its form, the matt black range includes a thermostatic shower column, concealed shower valves, deck and wall-mounted basin mixer taps, bath shower mixer taps, a floor-standing bath filler and push-button basin wastes.

Designer-inspired, the range of taps and showers are made to a high specification using premium ceramic disc cartridges for super smooth, consistent operation and long-lasting performance.

Richard Eaton, Bathroom Product Manager, PJH comments “Vema is a premium brassware brand that broadens yet further the appeal of the Bathrooms to Love brassware collection. New styles, Maira and Lys present our retail partners and their customers with some new bathroom inspiration at a very competitive price point for a truly luxurious brand.”

The new Maira Matt Black wall-mounted basin mixers and floor-standing bath filler are pictured above with the wall hung ‘Perla Marble’ twin basin unit, ‘Luxey’ matt grey washbowls, ‘Belmont’ free-standing bath, ‘Rio’ black framed LED mirror and ‘Bertini’ matt black towel ring – all from the 2021 Bathrooms to Love collection.

Complete with a 10-year guarantee, the new Maira Matt Black Brassware range is now available from PJH’s Bathrooms to Love Collection and can be ordered via the PJH Partners Portal for next day delivery.

White Tulip complete bathroom range by Philippe Starck for Duravit

June 8, 2021

White Tulip is the first complete bathroom range created entirely by Philippe Starck for Duravit. The range includes free-standing ceramic washbasins, round above-counter basins, matching free-standing and wall-mounted toilets and bidets, bathroom furniture, matching mirrors, taps and bathtubs.

The elegant shapes of the components within the series echoes the organic silhouette of a tulip in bloom; exuding an almost sculptural feel.

Basins

The monolithic design of the free-standing ceramic washbasin is particularly eye-catching. The washbasin can be attached to the wall or the floor as required.

Designed in the same style, the round above-counter basin has an aesthetically pleasing delicately outward sloping edge. The right-angled washbasin, when viewed from above, also reflects this form. Also available as a furniture washbasin and as a hand rinse basin, both come in two sizes and complete the range.

Bidets & Toilets

Matching free-standing and wall-mounted toilets and bidets complement the impressive ceramic elements. The White Tulip style is also found on the matching urinal. The toilets are equipped with the new HygieneFlush technology.

All new HygieneFlush toilets come with the tried and tested HygieneGlaze ceramic glaze as standard to guarantee even greater hygiene. Fired into the interior of the toilet, HygieneGlaze ensures that approx. 90% of bacteria (for example e. coli) are eradicated after six hours, and approx. 99.9% after 24 hours. The outstanding quality of White Tulip is also reflected in its new lifetime guarantee, which Duravit offers on the ceramic elements in the range for selected countries.

Bathroom Furniture

The corresponding furniture is as extraordinary as the entire range. The miter-cut, extremely finely crafted edges are testament to the precise composition of the White Tulip furniture, which comes in widths of between 350 and 1300 mm.

Matching Mirrors

Matching mirrors from the White Tulip series are available in versions controlled by sensors or an app. Creating a special visual effect, the mirrored glass has been brought forward which makes the mirror’s surface appear almost transparent around the illuminated area.

Freestanding Bathtub

The free-standing bathtub with its seamless acrylic paneling mirrors the form of the ceramics. The oval version is available in two sizes: 1800×800 mm, with 1600×900 mm for smaller rooms. The round bathtub with a diameter of 140 cm, offers a spacious interior.

White Tulip Phillippe Starck for Duravit

Taps

White Tulip also includes the first range of taps developed by Philippe Starck for Duravit. The consistent design element is the tulip-shaped handle that echoes the shape of the washbasins and bathtubs and is particularly easy and pleasant to operate thanks to the polished surface, whilst the 160 finely engraved vertical stripes produce a truly sophisticated effect. Washbasin mixers are available in various “comfort” heights S, M, and XL. The range also includes bidet, shower and bath faucets.

The unusual design of the White Tulip series will add a stylish touch to any setting. Well-engineered technologies such as HygieneFlush and HygieneGlaze, tip-on technology and self-close action as well as mirror heating and app-controlled, customizable lighting complete the feel-good factor.

New brassware inspiration from Roca for every bathroom style

April 8, 2021

Roca has introduced four new contemporary brassware collections to add to its impressive brassware portfolio, offering a wide range of solutions that complement every style of bathroom.

Pals

Straight, minimalist lines and different geometrics come together in Pals, a modern collection with an array of configurations and originality as a distinguishing trait. The basin and bidet models in the Pals collection include a convenient joystick handle, in line with the latest trends, providing an elegant design. The combination of straight and round lines achieves a striking contemporary aesthetic. The Pals collection features Roca’s exclusive Evershine, an electrolytic coating which guards against corrosion, delivers brightness, a sparkling mirror effect and an anti-scratch finish. A long lasting and hygienic solution is guaranteed, thanks to the anti-lime scale deposition materials used. The result is a high-quality product, made from premium materials. The Pals collection includes brassware options for basins, bidets, baths and showers.

Carelia

Carelia (pictured top) is a smooth-body, contemporary design collection, which features a soft turn handle and pan handle lever in the elegant basin mixer model. Carelia offers a wide range of options, including basin mixers, deck-mounted bath mixers, and a choice of solutions for the shower. Available in chrome and also in a sleek powder-coated black finish (basin and bath mixers only), Carelia offers stylish design at a competitive price point.

Alfa

Offering a gently angled, contemporary design, Alfa (pictured right) is available in a variety of matching options. The range includes basin, bidet and bath-shower mixers, all featuring a soft turn handle and full headed lever. All products in the range benefit from the advantages of Roca’s Evershine finish.

Cala

Cala features a curved cylindrical body and a longer projection spout on basin mixer models, as well as several convenient options for showers and bath-shower mixers. Roca’s exclusive Evershine coating guarantees a long-lasting, polished finish and makes for easy cleaning of these contemporary bathroom taps.

Water Saving

The new Pals, Alfa and Cala basin-mixers include a built-in aerator in the spout which limits the flow to 5 litres per minute. This allows water consumption to be minimised without reducing the level of functionality. Thanks to the air injection, the aerator guarantees a plentiful, soft and bubbling water flow that also prevents splashing.

Energy Efficiency

Thanks to Roca’s Cold Start® technology, all taps in the new ranges open to the right, always starting with cold water – meaning daily rituals that don’t require hot water can be carried out without unnecessarily activating the boiler, saving energy and cost. David Bromell, Head of Marketing at Roca comments: “Roca brassware is manufactured to the highest quality and we’re exceptionally proud of our broad design portfolio, ensuring that we offer beautiful design and functional solutions for every bathroom and at all price points.”
