A Bathroom Like no Other

Have you thought that we may have a bathroom with completely different forms of toilets and washbasins than the standard ones we are used with? If you want to be different from anyone else even with your bathroom design, then look at what the student from  Beckmans College of Design Liga Bulmiste has designed:

"Nature’s own forms and colours have been a powerful source of inspiration in creating these objects. Perfection of design already exists in nature and so I do not want to try to create new forms, but have borrowed and been inspired by rocks, sand and wind. I want to provide an earthy, calm and beautiful room to live and to breathe in."

Trendoffice Product Picks from Milan Design Week 2018

The fair and all the events going at the same time are impossible to grasp and reflect thoroughly, but still, one can have some general impressions about new trends and ineresting new products, unexpected design solutions. Here are some of my picks:

Justine Cabinet by Matteo Cibic - one of his “wonder-objects” designed for JCP

 Yael Reboh's "Primavera" project - layer upon layer of veneer and fabric and the result is so unusually beautiful and probably very comfortable armachair! 

Atlas table by Hillsideout (Andrea Zambelli and Nat Wilms) in painted bronze and glass - Ventura Future

HELIX by Vener Lab - the stainless steel surface, helix-shaped, leans on the structure worked in a single piece of ghiandone stone, carved in the top.

Agua Collection by Patricia Urquiola for Budri

Are you fascinated? :) I am - by the magic of designers'imagination. All these are products that mark design solutions beyond the usual way of thinking and product materials selection.

My selection of product launches at Salone del Mobile 2018

These are just a few of the new products that I liked - more will follow soon

Bathrooms are the status rooms

I suppose that you will agree with me on that. And it is always interesting to see how the owner understands beauty, quality, glamour and good design by seeing thier bathrooms - where they invest most.
For me quality materials are very important - like marble and natural wood,  but I value also the unique design ideas, as well as ergonomical streamlined design with a 'green soul'. If you are like me, then follow my blog because it is my intention to publish selected products that answer these requirements, not only for bathrooms.

 HIM by Zucchetti,  design Ludovica+Roberto Palomba

It is elegant, ergonomic, green and covered in rose gold! What a combination of virtues :)

The unique design of Marble Drop - a wash-basin in Bianco Lasa/Covelano “Macchia Vecchia” marble designed by Alessandro La Spada for Antolini makes it a fine, elegant masterpiece and areally desirable product:

More great designs will follow.

Virtuoso - perfect craftsmanship and great design!

The art of the tile applied to modern luxury furniture in a most creative way! That is the  Virtuoso Cabinet by Malabar.  Each tile is masterfully carved and matte finished. Through the openings in the tiles is seen the beautuful polished ironwood,  from which are also made the legs of the cupboard. Two standout tiles, finished in a trendy color, match the unique tiled handle in the interior.


The silky satinwood walls of the interior contrast the ironwood drawers. Perfect craftsmanship and great design!
