Alape
A name that is synonymous with quality sanitary ware, German brand Alape has had a decisive and influential impact on the development of the bathroom since 1896. Manufactured from glazed steel, its long list of revolutionary basin and washstand products can be traced all the way back to the classic sink basin it invented. The company’s latest offering is the Aqua washbasin which gives off the impression of looking into a small ocean thanks to its shape. Due to variations in the manual application of the glaze, the surface of every basin is profoundly unique and ever-changing much like the undulating surface of water.
Victoria + Albert Baths
Founded in 1996, UK-based Victoria + Albert Baths built its international reputation for creating beautiful freestanding baths and basins on an undeniable passion for baths and bathing. All of its products are made entirely from a blend of Volcanic Limestone™ and high performance resins called QUARRYCAST™ and individually hand-finished by master craftsmen. As part of its mission to be innovative product developers and market leaders in the freestanding bath market, it continues to launch exciting new pieces such as the Napoli, Taizu and Barcelona 3 bathtubs.
