Adding a matte-black colour option to the ‘IMO’ (yes, that’s short for ‘In My Opinion’) collection, the single-lever
basin tap by premium German bathroom and kitchen manufacturer
Dornbracht is adaptable and fits effortlessly into many different styles of
home. From £741 (dornbracht.com).
Elevate bathroom touch points with French brand Mi & Gei’s new unlacquered-brass towel hooks. We particularly love the satin finish (pictured). ‘Jewelry Ring Wall Hook Forme Number 07’ in ‘satin nickel’ (left), £48; ‘Brass Wall Hook Forme Number 09’ in ‘satin nickel‘, £52 (miandgei.com).
These statuesque forms look like something you might find housed within the walls of a famous art gallery or museum. But no, they
are part of Victoria + Albert’s new bathroom range, ‘Seros’ – a collection that takes artful design to a whole new level. Created by sculptor Sophie-Elizabeth Thompson, the range is comprised
of a freestanding asymmetric bath (from £3,330), a podium basin (from £1,650) and the ‘55’ basin (from £580). Each piece mimics the surface of rippling water, bringing a new dimension
to the bathing experience (vandabaths.com).
Splashing out on a bottle dispenser might not seem a priority for updating a bathroom, but can make a world of difference in keeping your basin curated and uncluttered. Drummonds’ engraved glass option has a robust pump-action mechanism, so you can confidently refill it for years, limiting plastic consumption and maximising your home spa’s aesthetic credentials. From £462 (drummonds-uk.com).
No one does a metal kitchen quite like Vipp. The Danish company, which began as a metal factory in the 1930s, carved out a niche for itself in the kitchen industry with its popular steel offerings, but it calls its latest design, where lighter, anodised aluminium swaps in for steel, ‘the next step in our legacy of metalwork’. Available in three elements (‘island’, ‘wall’ and ‘tall’), the modular kitchen is eye-catching thanks to its fluted curves. From £52,000, including installation (vipp.com).
