Taps, tubs and tiles for a sensual, streamlined bathroom. 
Compiled by Paige Magarrey

Top left: Forma by Toscoquattro
Free-standing wash basins made a splash at the biennial bath show during Milan’s furniture fair this past April. Young Italian designer Andrea Andretta envisioned these units, manufactured in a resin called Livingtec, as two off-kilter ovals.  toscoquattro.it

Made of a single piece of 2.5-centimetre-thick polymer, this tub is sturdier than its traditional enamel counterparts, and it keeps bathwater warmer longer. The collection also includes three basins.  produitsneptune.com

The German manufacturer has re-launched its Vero line of wash basins, toilets and bidets in a new all-black finish. They pack a bold punch on their own, but can also be mixed and matched with the original white fixtures.  duravit.com
