Bathrooms In Focus – Mastella

By Declan Giles | Newsletter

Design. People. Advanced technology. Over 35 years of excellence in bathroom manufacture. That’s why we felt it was a high time from an edition of Bathrooms In Focus on Mastella.

With Mastella the most important factor behind every production choice is design. Science and functionality are combined together in the initial design phase, to achieve reliability and beauty. These values are renewed every day.

Furniture collections are created, designed and produced by Mastella to meet and surpass the multiple expectations and needs of the client. Space, storage, functionality, design, customisation and reliability. Values to which Mastella pays the utmost attention, emphasising design and construction quality in every detail.

This time out we’re focusing on a German bathroom giant Bette. A family-run company, producing premium architectural bathroom components from steel-titanium alloy, enamelled with purely natural materials since 1952. Their thermoforming process allows them to create flowing shapes with extraordinary craftsmanship and precision.

Bette products are one-of-a-kind, their automated serial production line can handle more than 600 different colours with a broad range of dimensions to create an inspiring space in every bathroom design.

The sophisticated designs Bette is known for are made possible thanks to their unique moulding techniques.

In order to give the rims of their products a minimal shape, 250 tons – which is the combined weight of 50 adult elephants – are applied to the material for around 40 seconds. This results in exceptionally narrow rim heights and corner radii.

Bathrooms In Focus – Laufen

By Declan Giles | Newsletter

This edition of Bathrooms In Focus is highlighting some iconic collections from a true giant of the bathroom industry, Laufen.

For over 125 years, Laufen has been using the oldest malleable material known to man to make innovative sanitary products in their state-of-the-art plants.

What makes Laufen products unique at the first glance is that their Swiss design unites two major design trends: emotional Italian design from the south and the northern tradition of design precision and clarity.

A complete bathroom project inspired by the iconic design of Kartell together with the quality of Laufen.

On one hand, Kartell, Italian, creative, colourful and iconic. The family company that has marked the history of design and revolutionised furnishing in the use of plastic materials for over 60 years.

On the other, Laufen, Swiss, rigorous and reliable.

The design of the Laufen Palomba Collection recalls small inlets or pebbles shaped by the eternal movement of the sea, expertly transformed into ceramic.

All elements of the collection harmonise with one another as each one of them bears the signature of the Italian designer couple, Ludovica & Roberto Palomba.

The extraordinary design potential of Laufen’s revolutionary SaphirKeramik reveals itself in the bathroom collection Val. Simple architectural lines, extremely narrow edges and fine surface structures make the washbasins of this collection globally unique.
