Platform about design and technology in the kitchen, home, and bathroom industry
By ‘bathwetting,’ we do not refer to an all-knowing expert, but to the surprising knowledge hidden behind designer baths that are more than merely functional sanitary ware. The latest generation of baths shows how form, material and color come together in true eye-catchers. An overview of the models - from minimalist to monumental - that expressly demand attention and make bathing a real experience.
Organic shapes continue to dominate the bathroom scene. In addition to classic white, we are seeing a growing demand for soft, nature-inspired shades, although black also remains an undiminished fixture. Villeroy & Boch proves the latter with the new Finion All Black collection. The entire line - from washbasins and bathtubs to furniture, mirrors and toilets - consistently translates the trend of all black interiors to the bathroom. Within this collection, the Theano bathtub in all black is a real eye-catcher. The Theano Original Edition looks sleek and minimalist, while the Curved Edition takes on a softer expression with its asymmetrical lines. All models are made of Quaryl®, resulting in a pleasantly warm touch, high comfort of use and excellent scratch resistance.
With Cree Clay, German label Vallone introduces a new variant of the freestanding Cree bathtub. The tub receives a Clay Surface coating from FRESCOLORI®, a mineral surface that gives the solid surface bath a distinct, tactile texture. The finish consists of several manually applied layers, making each tub unique. Its composition with quartz and marble powder creates a robust, water-resistant and low-maintenance finish. Cree Clay is available in three shades - Brera Dust, Cemento Nuvola and Umbra Ferro - each highlighting the matte depth of the material in a different way.
Ceramica Globo extends the KOI collection with KOI Small, a freestanding sit-on bathtub measuring only 135 centimeters, designed by Federica Biasi. Its slim silhouette, soft lines and LivingTec® composite material make this model ideal for compact bathrooms without sacrificing comfort. The new Castagno color gives the bath a warm, natural depth that perfectly complements current interior colors. The ergonomic inner shape supports the body comfortably and blends seamlessly with the rest of the KOI range. A subtle, elegant bath that combines compact living with high-quality wellness.
Meet Solite from InBe by Clou, a composite material that combines a sought-after solid surface look with a significantly reduced weight. The base consists of a fiberglass-reinforced mineral-resin composite. Over that comes a strong gelcoat with a matte finish, finished with a scratch-resistant protective coating. The surface is textured, which has an anti-slip effect in addition to its typical appearance. Whereas traditional solid surface baths easily weigh 100 to 120 kilograms, the InBe Solite bath sticks to just 60 kilograms. Ideal for homes where a lighter bath is desired or even necessary. Extra convenient: to make lifting even easier, the bath has integrated lifting rings on the bottom, including lifting aids. The InBe Solite bathtub is available in matt white and matt green, including drain set with plug in the same material.
The new Domina bath by Disenia - an Ideagroup brand - couples a striking and elegant design with some practical extras. The bath is made of M-Solid, a high-quality material with a soft, pleasant touch. The flowing, enveloping lines create a modern look and offer ergonomic comfort. With details such as an integrated shelf and optional towel holder, the bath design unites functionality and well-being in one elegant unit. Domina, a design by Claudio Papa, can be freestanding or placed against the wall.
This Settecento bath is the latest addition to Agape's Memory collection, designed by Benedini Associati. With its soft, continuous curves and balanced proportions, the bath subtly references the charm of traditional baths, but in a more refined, contemporary version. The freestanding tub is made of Cristalplant® Biobased, a material known for its matte, mineral-like appearance and pleasing texture and excellent freedom of form. The result is a tub that looks at once refined and timeless: visually light, but clearly present in the space.
Get another classic nod with this Celine Petite White bathtub from Devon&Devon. The monolithic silhouette stands out for its soft, rounded contours and delicate rim. The tub is made of White Tec Plus, a durable and Greenguard Gold-certified material based on Biobased® vegetable resins. As a result, the bath combines high-quality aesthetics with a reduced ecological footprint. In addition to classic white, the Celine Petite White is available in every shade of the NCS color range, each in a matte finish. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the bathtub also fits perfectly in smaller bathrooms.
With the Nuio Duo Zen edition, Kaldewei is introducing a new generation of wellness baths in which high-tech functionality and Zen philosophy meet. The model enriches the classic bathing ritual with infrared heat, light control and integrated sound. The thermal, visual and acoustic stimuli reinforce each other to create a holistic total experience. Remarkably, this can be done with water as well as in a dry bath mode, which significantly expands the functionality of the bath. The Nuio Duo Zen edition is a built-in bath in durable, recyclable steel enamel, produced with consideration for the environment. Stefan Diez's design complements the collection's calm, balanced signature and fits seamlessly into a variety of bathroom concepts. Available in eight colors and four sizes.
We conclude with an absolute eye-catcher. Glass Design introduces with Aureas the very first bath within the Tonino Lamborghini Total Living collection, a distinct design object that puts luxury and identity at the center. The bath completes the range of sinks, creating a coherent look for high-end bathroom concepts, at home or at hotel. The geometric facets catch the light and create extraordinary reflections, instantly making the bathtub the visual focal point of the room. The color range closely matches Tonino Lamborghini sinks, allowing interior designers to create consistency
and customization through. Additional personalization options allow each version to be tailored to the project's desired identity.
