The freestanding bath trend continues with a clear preference for statement bath, designed to take a central place in any bathroom. Pictured is the bath Cielo Cybele which features a clean, contemporary exterior. This is part of the Arcadia collection, which is the latest range designed by Studio APG and is 100% made in Italy for Cielo. This design includes a freestanding washbasin and a corresponding line of mirrors.
The bath itself consists of LivingTec resin and can be customized with smooth wood siding or decking, either lacquered or oak with bleached or stained finishes.

2 Challenging thought
Is a lamp? Or a shower? Many large manufacturers play with ideas of how functional objects should watch and, in the process, coming up with some great products that challenge our thinking. This is the apple Closer shower Zucchetti. Designed to resemble a lamp Closer uses the mobile arm to provide the functionality we need a shower in matt black is no surprise very popular this year.
designer Diego Grandi began with the idea to reinvent a bathroom normally static element in a dynamic and modern assembly. Cleverly, a cylindrical counterweight ensures the shower head is stable in all positions and at any height.

3 pink gold
I expected to see many fittings in matt black (and I did). What I did not expect was an explosion of pink gold finish seen on the stands of many major manufacturers. A slight change of rose gold we know of jewelry design, this finish in rose gold is brighter and almost playful.
When applied in the context of the bathroom, it works surprisingly well, especially when combined with natural wood. It is a warmer and more contemporary than rose gold finish - and I rocked it will be a major trend in most brands of fittings in the coming years. A good example of this finish is pictured here :. The collection Webert Opera pink gold

soft Cell 4
The Bounce basin Ever design life, designed by Monica Graffeo, looks like any other ceramic basin, right? False. It is made from a flexible polyurethane material that is flexible and therefore creates an intriguing tactile, sweetly. Bounce to complete, there is also a collection of accessories, including support shelves and towel holders and objects in natural beech wood.
The Bounce basin is indicative of a new trend in using materials in innovative ways, while not sacrificing the functionality required in our bathrooms.

5 Art in the bathroom
Pushed by the idea that art can exist even in the most functional spaces, Art Azzurra is a new concept by designer Alessandro Mendini. Using the model sink Nativo Giovanni Levanti for Azzurra, Mendini left to give objects of everyday artistic representation.
This design, called Atmosfera, superimposes the body of the sink with sets of dots or polychrome or blue, to create the impression of star constellations. This continues the trend of bringing aesthetic pleasure in the private spaces of our homes in new, interesting and exciting ways.

6 Concept models
Many designers and manufacturers use the show as the place to launch the concept drawings to assess the interest of the international design community. specialist steel / enamel German Bette presented this interesting idea on his stand to have a bath in a new and surprising way. The bath is actually dressed in cloth and was designed by Bette and Tesseraux + Partner design studio.
This idea is only possible due to a new generation of fabrics that are extremely robust and easy to maintain, and water, mould- and climate resistant. The fabric finish provides a tactile sensation of heat to the user and is certainly a departure from the usual bathroom finishes. It will be interesting to see if this idea takes off and goes into production in the near future.

7 Back to Black
black tapware in kitchen has been around for a few years and I see work his way into the bathroom, especially in a stylish and sophisticated matte finish.
The Ametis Graff ring is a bone of multi-functional shower with rain function and waterfalls, over six chromotherapy lighting color options thanks to high technology, integrated lighting system LED. Note that the shape of the ring, creating different cascade of effects depending on the selected function. This is another example of the cosmetic is improved without sacrificing functionality. With a shower and matching hand taps, the Ametis ring is a stunning addition to a bathroom.

8 High-tech color splash
This was not all matts dimmed and ceramic finishes in the bathroom - there were some nice touches of color, too. Pictured here is the collection Cerasa Moon -. A collaboration between Cerasa and designer Marco Poletti which aims to challenge our idea of linear objects in the bathroom
The bowed legs echo the circular shape of the moon (hence the name), while the basic units are available as open structures or with a large storage drawer as illustrated. Two basin designs are available: Diamante is square and geometric offset form of the base units; Eclisse is rounded and sinuous to complete the volume. A series of mirrors and wall cabinets complete the collection.

9 visual illusion
Everyday objects are given a design finish with the new collection Rapsel Collapse, developed in collaboration with the SPD or the Polytechnic of Milan design. The designers played with the basic volumes, but created the visual illusion that the basins and toilet edges slip away. The collection also includes a corresponding bath (not shown).
This is a continuation of the trend in the bathrooms to look for ways to update the objects of every day to make them unique, but still contain high design and functional elements.

10 matching color
We know our rooms bathrooms need a bit of color to offset the sometimes clinical nature of these rooms, but we're often stuck with accessories, such as towels or candles to the place of brightness.
This collection is an excellent idea for the design-minded who want a color coordinated solution. The collection has Geda Nextage Maco faucets, shower heads, toilets and accessories that come in a variety of color finishes (such as green photo here). What makes this so effective is the color is subtle, but coordinated with each piece in the collection has its own design aesthetic.
