Freestanding Freedom

Make a central design statement via your bath with the help of the sleek new Zeo freestanding bath from Adamsez.

This deep, double-ended bath is perfect in every dimension, whichever way it's positioned in the room.

Its gently curved tub adds a soft femininity to its otherwise geometric profile, while a chunky broad rim is ideal for resting that essential wine glass.

With a spacious 225 litre capacity, Zeo's internal dimensions are designed with duo bathing in mind, providing a comfortable and relaxing bath for one or two people.

Sitting snugly to the floor, its surround is ideal for those who like all pipework to be hidden discreetly out of view.

Manufactured from Lucite, which is the finest quality acrylic on the market and has pristine colour consistency, Zeo is heavily insulated with a layer of fibreglass sandwiched between two Lucite layers for extra strength and superior thermal insulation.

Thus the Zeo bath represents high quality and has a hardwearing finish that is easy to maintain.

The Zeo freestanding bath measures 1760mm x 860mm and retails at around £1468.75 incl. VAT.

Matteo Thun Presents Water Jewels for VitrA

Matteo Thun is responsible for an extensive variety of design work, ranging from the creation of hotels to coffee cups. His work could be described as the rejection of the designer ego and as an attempt to create product and environments with a certain resonance and emotional quality. This is the first collection that Matteo has designed for VitrA and results from being given an open brief to create something exceptional for the contemporary bathroom of today.

The new collection is based on alternative applications of materials, moving away from the traditional ceramics that are often used in bathroom design and manufacture. Matteo was able to capitalise on VitrA's production facilities and advanced technologies to realise these new aesthetic and functional possibilities.

Using materials as diverse as wood, marble, solid stone and glass and exploring shape and colour, Thun has produced a beautiful series of products, summing up the lush range of colour and material used with the working title 'Water Jewels'. The diversity of different sized and coloured counters and washbasins have clear modular appeal for both private and public bathroom spaces which can be readily tailored to the customer's individual needs and preferences.

New Waterfall Bath Inlet from Kaldewei for Stylish Bathing Comfort

Kaldewei has launched the new integrated waterfall bath inlet for baths. The water inlet, created by the studio of Phoenix Design, is integrated harmoniously into the inside wall of the bath and its steady waterfall flow creates a special bathing experience.

The new waterfall bath inlet is centrally located and guarantees bathing comfort. This product has been reduced to a minimum, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into the design of the bath and fulfilling even the highest design expectations.

The round cover lies flush with the inside wall of the bath and is available in complementary colours - alpine white, pergamon and manhattan.

Operating the waterfall bath inlet is child’s play: the system needs no additional tap, it is connected directly to the water supply and operated by a standard mixer.

When the water supply is turned on, the cover automatically opens slightly and creates a steady waterfall effect. When the mixer is closed, the cover of the waterfall bath inlet returns to its original position.

The fitting fulfils individual requirements and will be available from August for the Centro Duo, Conoduo, Corpo Duo, Duo Pool, Plaza Duo and Classic Duo baths.
