GEOMETRIC INSPIRED DESIGN FROM VILLEROY & BOCH

Geometric styling is set to become a big trend in 2009. Sharp lines and graphic motifs are making their way into the bathroom, with angular patterns and shapes influencing sanitaryware and tile design.

The new Bianco Nero tiles from Villeroy & Boch offer a totally new look for the bathroom. The oversized square tiles are available in either black or white and feature graphic geometric shapes which create an eye-catching three-dimensional effect.

Stylish but practical, the Squaro bath is a large angular bath which is available in either a hexagonal or rectangular model. Designed to cater for awkward corners or unusual bathrooms spaces, the hexagonal Squaro bath makes a bold, solid statement in the bathroom. Made from the finest quality Quaryl® - a material unique to Villeroy & Boch – the Squaro bath is a wise investment for quality-conscious consumers looking for a product with longevity and lasting value.

Michael Swan from Villeroy & Boch Bathrooms comments on 2009 trends for bathrooms: “When it comes to bathrooms in 2009, minimalism continues to be an evolving trend with this look being updated through the use of decorative geometric patterns and angular shapes. Today’s minimalist take is all about adding subtle details and extra nuances though the use of distinctive graphics and unique effects.”
