Roca launches Tenet – a new affordable bathroom furniture collection

January 2, 2023

Why sacrifice style for an affordable price tag? With the new Tenet collection by Roca, you can have both. Compatible with pieces from Roca’s other ranges and designed to suit bathrooms of all sizes and styles, the new collection of handleless vanity units is both simple in style and flexible in use.

Here, Natalie Bird, brand manager for Roca, reveals three more reasons why Tenet is a welcome addition to the Roca family.

Reason One: Five different finishes
Tenet vanity units come in a choice of five glossy and wood finishes. “Pick a glossy finish in white or grey to catch and reflect light, making your bathroom feel roomier,” says Natalie.

Alternatively, choose between three wood-effect finishes: Nordic ash, city oak and walnut. “A wood look never fails to create an inviting contrast to all the shiny surfaces that come as standard in the bathroom,” Natalie adds.

Reason two: Versatile design

The Tenet vanity unit is 460mm deep and comes in a variety of widths to suit different storage needs. Sizes range from 600mm to 1200mm, with two, three, four or six drawers complete with built-in organisers to keep all your toiletries tidy yet close to hand. There’s also the option to have two doors instead of drawers – a convenient way to store taller bottles upright. Those wanting to boost the feeling of openness should choose a wall-hung Tenet vanity as exposing more of the floor gives the illusion of a bigger bathroom. What’s more, freeing up floorspace makes cleaning easier too.

A word of caution: “Wall-hung vanities require a little thought around concealing the waste pipe,” says Natalie. This is easy to do but needs to happen before fitting to avoid sudden changes at the end of the project.

If you prefer the look of a floor-standing unit, need extra storage space or your plumbing lends itself better to this style, the Tenet collection includes a three-drawer option that is sold with legs. “This still needs to be fixed to the wall but may offer a more practical solution for family or main bathrooms,” explains Natalie.

Reason three: Modern handleless look

“The beauty of a handleless design is that you can choose any finish for your brassware without the worry that it doesn’t match the handles on your vanity,” says Natalie. To complete the look, matching column- and wall-unit storage solutions are also available in Roca’s Extra range, giving you the option of a coordinated suite.

Duravit introduces Ketho.2 – the second in the series by Christian Werner

July 7, 2022

Delivering design flexibility, the complete furniture range comprises 27 elements. Ideal for everyday use and available at a very competitive price, the timeless design of Ketho.2 suits any bathroom. The flush-fitting, 16mm carcass sides helps deliver a minimalistic feel.

Christian Werner describes Ketho.2 as “poetry of geometry, with beautiful proportions and eye-catching, continuous strip handles in Anthracite aluminum. The pared-down, elegant style will bring joy for a long time and won’t look ‘dated’ in the next fashion wave, or even the one after that!”

Continuous strip handles in Anthracite are integrated into the front and the collection is available in a wide choice of sizes, and finishes.

As a complete furniture range, the 27 elements include vanity units with a hinged door, pull-out compartments, or drawers in planning-friendly widths of 410 to 1600mm. They can be combined with washbasins from the ME by Starck, D-Neo, or Vero Air ranges, plus a complete range of above-counter basins for console solutions.

For convenience in everyday use, Ketho.2 features a premium drawer system that is quiet, has a high load capacity, and comfortable self-close and soft-close features. An optional, high-quality interior organising system is available for the drawers. Semi-tall and tall cabinets extend the range of storage space.

There is also a narrow wall shelf with two subdivisions available as a decorative element with storage area.

Mirrors and mirrored cabinets as a visual highlight

Sensor-controlled mirrors (with optional heating) and mirrored cabinets (with optional washbasin lighting) blend harmoniously into the overall picture. The two lighting strips, are slightly set back to the left and right, ensuring direct illumination of the mirrored surface. They emit a sideways, glare-free light of more than 300 lux onto the wall and can work as the main light source in the bathroom, whilst creating an atmospheric mood.

The LED light sources with a pleasant light colour have a service life of more than 30,000 hours and are especially durable. They are controlled via the smart Casambi app or an integrated sensor.

Finishes for individual customer requirements

Ketho.2 comes with a range of options with a selection of finishes. From white through multiple grey stages up to fine-grained wood, 15 décor finishes are available in a variety of price categories. The three Super Matt finishes in White, Taupe, and Graphite with easy-to-clean, anti-fingerprint coating meet the highest standards with their sophisticated aesthetics and refined feel.

KEUCO illuminates the bathroom with STAGELINE

April 6, 2022

STAGELINE is a new and elegant series of furniture from KEUCO that incorporates a vanity unit and three additional storage units. The unique aspect of this series is the illuminated open storage compartment, the leading light and key feature in both the vanity and tall unit. The shelf or ‘stage’ is illuminated by a warm LED light with 3,000 Kelvin, allowing consumers to creatively display decorative personal items, toiletries, whatever they feel works in this space.

There’s a Shakespeare quote from As You Like it “All the worlds a stage and men and women are merely players” and yet this could also be the perfect description of a family bathroom. STAGELINE is the ideal supporting act for the dramas, soliloquies, romance, and beauty scenes that take place with the bathroom as it’s backdrop.

The look is tonal, the glass front and body of the furniture are a single colour, in natural shades gently restrained, creating a warm environment. Monochrome also has its place in fact there are four shades to choose from white or cashmere glossy as well as Inox or Vulkanit satin. The glass fronts of the furniture bring an additional textural feature offering a highly glossed or velvety matt finish.

The STAGELINE series incorporates practical elements including an integrated power socket along with a USB and USB-C charging point. The attention to detail is key such as the softly curved, gently protruding glass front at the top of the units, which is not only decorative but practical acting as a handle.

The curves echo other elements in KEUCO portfolio such as the rounded PLAN ceramic washbasins which sit elegantly on top of the STAGELINE vanity units. These are available in six different widths, ensuring the stage can be set whatever the size of the bathroom. The vanity units have an option to add drawer partitions – four versions, providing different size options for personal or family use. There is an elegant dark inlay mat with a non-slip to help keep bottles and jars in place.

Depending on the size of the bathroom there are three additional STAGELINE pieces to choose from; this furniture is ideal for larger storage space requirements; the tall unit, single-door unit or the two-door centre unit. The tall unit is elegant with an illuminated shelf in the middle and all cabinets feature soft-close hinges and high-quality, easy-care glass shelves inside.
