Elegant and sophisticated bathtubs and washbasins feature prominently in this year’s hot releases in the bathroom sector.
If the past 12 months are any indication, the upcoming year holds great promise for exciting launches in the realm of new bathroom products. As people increasingly spend more time enjoying their homes, designers have focused on providing the highest standard of luxury and elegance. Here is our pick of some of the best.
Kreoo’s elegant freestanding bathtub collections are carved from a single marble block and crafted by combining industrial processes and manual procedures. The feeling of well-being is enhanced by the mixture of wood and metal complements the marble. The designers of these product lines are Matteo Nunziati with Hug, Alberto Apostoli with Pearl, Enzo Berti with Kora and Kalypso, and the style and research center of the brand with Venice: five solutions with their own unique aesthetic identity, capable of shaping the natural stone and bring it to its maximum expression.
The Hug table designed by Matteo Nunziati is a marble shell with a walnut or eucalyptus wood shelf integrated on the front. The shelves provide handy storage for accessories and towels, while the tub’s rounded inside and gentle inclination of the sides enhance comfort.
Pearl by Alberto Apostoli for Kreoo recalls the motif of an oyster and its duality with an irregular exterior, reproduced with olive grey marble using a material processing that is handcrafted and unique, and a smooth and clear interior, achieved by using a resin with a mother-of-pearl finish. The Airpool System also provides a micro hydromassage. Also produced by Kreoo, Kalypso is made entirely in marble and is customizable in seven different materials. His other design Kora is a smooth basin carved from a single marble block with an upper profile at variable heights for easy access.
Bathing in Elegance: Unveiling Exquisite Bathtubs from Premier Design Brands
Within the realm of refined bathing experiences, this section unveils meticulously designed bathtubs from prominent brands. Antoniolupi’s Cuba, envisioned by Mario Ferrarini, merges ergonomics with a restful ambiance, while Devon&Devon presents the elegant Aurora Bijoux White Bathtub. Crafted from sustainable 100% White Tec Plus, it maintains a constant water temperature and exhibits antibacterial and antiviral qualities. Victoria + Albert’s groundbreaking Lussari collection features a suite of consistent-shaped baths, including a corner option. Explore Barcelona under-mount basins for countertop installation, offering a seamless blend of style, durability, and functionality.
Continuing the bathtub theme, Antoniolupi’s Cuba, designed by Mario Ferrarini, offers both ergonomics and a resting space. Its square lines and orthogonal surfaces afford a sharp and rigorous volume, while the carved soft and continuous shapes inside define a comfortable seat. Because of Cuba’s small dimensions, it can easily fit in small spaces. Available in freestanding, corner, niche, or recessed versions, it can be used in different style contexts and customized by material and color.
Devon&Devon’s Aurora Bijoux White Bathtub is shaped by elegant mouldings and stands on four spheres. Available in white acrylic or aluminum with chrome, light gold, polished nickel, or antique copper finish, it’s made with 100% White Tec Plus. This Greenguard Gold-certified sustainable material uses Biobased plant-derived resins. Due to its high thermal capacity, White Tec Plus enables the bathtub to keep a constant water temperature for a long time. The titanium dioxide added to the compound also has antibacterial and antiviral qualities to maintain a cleaner surface.
Victoria + Albert’s Lussari collection marks several firsts for the British global bathroom brand. It’s the company’s first suite of baths with the same shape—its first corner bath and its first simultaneous UK and European launch. The collection comprises three baths – corner, back-to-wall, and freestanding – all sharing the same interior shape, with matching Lussari 55 basin completing the range. The pick of the range, the Lussari corner bath, has a svelte external profile with a flat ledge to put items and is available in left and right-hand models.
Victoria + Albert has also launched two new Barcelona undermount basins. The Barcelona 53 and 56 include an internal overflow and were designed specifically for installation beneath a countertop. Like the Barcelona bath, they are available in gloss or matt finish, the latter a velvety smooth surface that diffuses the light, creating a relaxing ambiance. Made from QUARRYCAST, a composite material blended from milled volcanic limestone and a unique resin, it’s durable and stain and scratch-resistant.
Bathroom Elegance: Exploring Three Distinctive Product Lines for Opulent Spaces
In the exploration of luxurious bathroom experiences, three distinctive product lines emerge. Designed by Philippe Starck, Duravit’s Bento Starck Box series draws inspiration from the Japanese lunchbox, presenting a unique arrangement of washbasins, bathtubs, and toilet sets. Kohler’s Brazn collection provides seamless and easy-to-clean toilet options, complemented by Jacob Delafon’s Modern Life wall-hung toilet, which combines style with hygiene through antibacterial coatings. The goal is to elevate your bathroom with innovation, functionality, and elegance in every corner.
Duravit’s Bento Starck Box bathroom series by renowned French designer and architect Philippe Starck takes inspiration from the popular food container of the same name. Arranged like a Japanese lunchbox, it comes complete with a washbasin, a bathtub, and toilet sets. Alongside the washbasin, the collection includes above-counter basins in round and rectangular versions as individual basins or for two faucets. The freestanding acrylic infinity bathtub is large enough for two people with a gently rounded headrest and tapered water channel to prevent water build-up and it can also store accessories.

Taking the concept a step further, Kohler’s Brazn bathroom collection features a freestanding bath, vessel and under-counter basins, and three toilet options. The one-piece toilet integrates a tank and bowl for a seamless and easy-to-clean design; the two-piece offers a sleek profile; and the wall-hung toilet enhances the clean and aesthetic of the piece and space.

The matching toilet sets harmonize with the design of the ceramic and bathtubs, including a compact model and a HygieneFlush variation. The range features a floor-standing, close-coupled toilet and matching bidets, with integrated push buttons on the seat and a gentle, silent lowering mechanism. Jacob Delafon’s Modern Life wall-hung toilet is designed with both style and hygiene in mind. The streamlined white ceramic bowl has an extra-flat lid with progressive descent and is easy to clean, while the bowl and toilet seat have an antibacterial coating that provides a more than 99.9% effective barrier against major bacteria and germs.
