VitrA will unveil its latest designer collaborations this year at the prominent bathroom design trade show ISH in Frankfurt, Germany. Adding to its established portfolio of collections, VitrA will present a new range from Claudio Bellini and will extend popular ranges by Sebastian Conran and Terri Pecora.
The new Equal collection by Claudio Bellini makes use of geometric shapes and monochrome hues. Using clean, minimal borders and industrial, metallic accents, Bellini’s designs emulate the structures found in modernist architecture. Framing many pieces in the range, the sleek metal rails bring an elegant quality and create connections between the furniture using linear shapes. The collection will feature a mirror with integrated LED lighting, a selection of storage and washbasin units, and a wall-hung WC. The contemporary nature of the delicate, angular design makes it ideal for both commercial and residential spaces.
Launched at Salone del Mobile in 2018, Terri Pecora’s award-winning Plural collection will be extended to include a selection of new products. For this line, Pecora reimagined the washroom as a living space, using smooth, rounded edges and heavier woods to emulate furniture usually found in other rooms of the home. The expanded range will feature new free-standing bathroom furniture including urinals, WCs and bidets. VitrA will also present a small counter, washbasins and different vanity unit options and accessories including a rotating mirror and wall-mounted shelf with or without a suspended towel rail. Following the same muted colour palette to the original collection, Plural’s latest products will continue VitrA’s exploration into its ‘Living Bathroom’ concept.
The Eternity range, first launched by Sebastian Conran in 2017, will be available in a new copper finish from April 2019, in addition to the existing gold and chrome options. This popular collection plays with the contrast between light metallic finishes and solid shades of black and white for the smaller accessories, with dark teak for the shelves and wall fixtures. The range features a number of products including a free-standing shelving unit, multiple wall-mounted shelves and towel rails, bathrobe holders, a toilet brush, a toilet-roll holder and a bin. A toothbrush holder and soap dispenser make up the smaller accessories in the collection. The line incorporates intelligent design features, such as a discreet hook option for bathrobes and a removable strainer within the toothbrush holder.
VitrA will also be launching the Origin collection of accessories and brassware, available in Chrome, Matt Black, Brushed Nickel and Copper. Its minimal aesthetic complements the style of VitrA’s more contemporary ranges presented at the fair. Alongside Origin, there will also be a new V-Care Smart WC that has been designed by renowned artist and designer Arik Levy. Updated versions of the Nuo and Geo washbasins will also be presented, available from February 2019 in a new selection of sizes. These will be featured alongside other collections that have been refreshed, including the Sento and Memoria lines.
