Cosentino launches Zoe TOP bathroom sink by Silestone®

April 30, 2025

Bathroom brand Cosentino has expanded its portfolio with the launch of Zoe TOP. A new model of bathroom sink by Silestone® with Integrity Technology that allows the seamless integration of basin and countertop for total visual continuity.

Responding to trends that seek organic and curved shapes with soft lines, Zoe TOP is a refined expression of form and function. Made from a single, uninterrupted piece, it eliminates visible joins —a unique feature that enhances both the visual purity and practical performance of the basin, as well as its everyday maintenance. Highly resistant to stains, scratches and chemicals, this design also contributes to the product’s long-term durability, making Zoe TOP the smart and reliable solution.

The Zoe TOP offers thoughtful customisation, with four design options:

Zoe TOP:A stylish and minimalist sink with organic lines, which instantly enhances the concept of bathroom design.

ZOE TOP + Basa: Customised Zoe TOP model with a base of straight lines at just the right height to subtly and proportionally lift the sink on the bathroom counter.

Zoe TOP Bao: Variant with a rounded finish that results in a soft and harmonious touch for the sink and the bathroom as a whole.

Zoe TOP Bao + Basa Round: Elevate this variant of the model with a base of rounded edge

All options are available in three prominent Silestone® colours –choose between Desert Silver, a sophisticated grey with subtle veins; Blanco Zeus, the perfect choice for a bright and timeless bathroom; and Calacatta Gold, which brings the luxury and elegance of marble with the resistance and durability of Silestone.

Installation is quick and hassle-free, with the Zoe TOP ready to fit seamlessly into existing design plans and bathroom schemes, optimising timings and guaranteeing a flawless result.

Being able to specify basins in the same design as countertops, splashbacks, shower trays, and wall cladding further elevates the bathroom space as a true place of well-being —a place of calm and sanctuary.

Frontline Bathrooms unveils the Cabanes Basin

April 9, 2025

The Cabanes Basin by Frontline Bathrooms is a new arrival designed for modern living and compact spaces. Ideal for cloakrooms, ensuites, and smaller bathrooms, this statement basin will provide retailers with a stylish, space-saving solution.

Available in 400mm or 500mm sizes and in Matt White or Matt Black, each basin is crafted from solid surface stone resin—a carefully balanced blend of natural stone minerals, resins, and pigments. Unlike ceramic, the surface is warm and silky to the touch, offering a luxe feel with everyday functionality.

One of its most thoughtful and standout features is the integrated towel rail, seamlessly moulded into the base of the basin itself. Each Cabanes basin is hand-finished for a premium feel.

Each basin comes with a pre-drilled tap hole, ready to pair with a mini basin mixer so as not to overwhelm the statement the basin makes. The waste is concealed and colour-matched for a beautifully cohesive finish.

February 17, 2025

KEUCO’s EDITION 11 ART introduces a tone-on-tone colour concept that sets a new standard in bathroom design, offering a seamless blend of colours, surfaces, and materials. This collection allows designers to create a unified bathroom aesthetic with a modern, sophisticated feel.

At the core of EDITION 11 ART is the washbasin, available in a range of colours such as White, Sand, Manhattan, Blue Satin, and Smoke. These elegant hues harmonise with the furniture, creating a balanced tone-on-tone effect. The collection offers both single and double washbasin options, with widths of 800mm and 1200mm, alongside practical storage solutions with one or two drawers.

Designer Dominik Tesseraux of Tesseraux + Partner has developed a bathroom furniture concept with fine lines and a solid, supportive feel. The 4mm enamel washbasin blends seamlessly with the vanity unit, resulting in a unified, streamlined appearance. The high-quality materials used for the furniture surfaces, including veneer, ceramic, and glass, complement the washbasin colours for a consistent overall design.

These elements ensure continuity and a cohesive aesthetic.

A highlight of the collection is the vanity unit with a glass shelf, offering an innovative take on bathroom furniture. Wall-mounted and complemented by matching sideboards, tall units, and a mirrored shelving unit, it serves as the focal point of a harmonious design.

KEUCO’s mixer fittings and accessories complement the tone-on-tone concept, with finishes designed to integrate seamlessly with the bathroom’s furniture and washbasins. The drawers are finished in carbon black, creating a striking contrast and adding elegance to the interior. The innovative storage solutions include longitudinal and transverse boxes that maximise organisation and functionality.

For further customisation, KEUCO offers the option to order bathroom furniture in any RAL Classic colour, paired with the five washbasin colours to create a personalised space. The round light mirror, with adjustable lighting and automatic heating to ensure clarity in steamy conditions, is a visual highlight that complements the bathroom furniture.

The SOMARIS mirror cabinet, with its minimalist design and colour-matching options, provides additional storage. Side panels can be customised in all RAL Classic colours, ensuring the EDITION 11 ART suite is fully coordinated.

With its thoughtful design and high-quality materials, KEUCO’s EDITION 11 ART creates a peaceful and luxurious bathroom, blending functionality with style.
