Beautiful by design, Chic is Utopia’s brand new modular collection for 2024. Stylish and elegant, it’s the perfect fusion of form and function, featuring delicate sculpted shapes and sensational colour options.
Richard Shore, Head of Product Design, explains, “Everyone can be a designer with Chic, creating unique, personal and eye-catching combinations from the array of options available. Chic is every bit as flexible as it is elegant.”
Designed, developed and manufactured here in the UK, each piece of the new collection is a symphony of curves, planes and sweeping ceramics, all available in stunning unicolour décors. There is also the option of adding decorative legs to Chic cabinets for an extra style dimension, creating a more classic look.
Key features of Chic include gently curved contours, an inspired collection of 19 decors, including African Rose and Alpine Green, two brand new super matt soft touch colours, advanced functionality, and an exclusive ceramic range designed specifically to complement the furniture’s soft, rounded lines.
With countless different variations, Chic can be built to suit individual preferences. There are two washbasin unit variants with either a Chic ceramic slabtop basin to create a single statement piece or a Chic sit-on basin, echoing the rounded corners and curves of the cabinet and teamed with 12mm Compact Laminate. In single and double drawer configurations with Soft Close as standard, the units are available in a full range of sizes from 540mm to 1600mm widths with the option of pull to open cabinets with the dedicated Chic handle or a handleless style featuring the new push to open mechanism.
The extensive colour palette comprises five gloss, seven super matt, four matt and three patterned and textured finishes. This, when combined with worktop décors, handle finishes, choice of taps and optional legs, means there really are limitless opportunities to create a unique combination.
Co-ordinating tall storage and WC units complete the furniture range, along with an array of complementary accessories enabling the consumer to ‘spec up’, including handles, decorative legs, drawer dividers, and automatic drawer illumination options. These innovative lights are motion-activated and powered by a rechargeable compact lithium battery located out of sight to the rear of the drawer.
