Attractive in appearance, harmonious in form, smart in functionality: Dornbracht and Alape present washbasin solutions for small bathrooms.
The guest bathroom is the ‘calling card’ of every home. Its design must therefore be well cared for. Whether essential, colourful or with natural charm: regardless of the size, an aesthetically pleasing ambience can be created by making the best use of space. Dornbracht for the faucets and Alape with the enamelled steel washbasins offer high-quality coordinated solutions that are also ideal for guest bathrooms. The wash basin plays an essential role in the design of a mini-bathroom: it should be as compact as possible, combining maximum functionality with attractive design in minimal dimensions. The choice of fittings is also important: it is essential that the projection corresponds to the size of the washbasin and is aesthetically coordinated. Dornbracht and Alape offer three interesting solutions as inspiration for designing the guest bathroom.
Versatile: Tara wall mixer with Sondo basin basin
Tara, as a three-hole wall-mounted faucet version, becomes the focal point of the bathroom with the Sondo countertop washbasin by Alape: the characteristic spout, which is also used in this wall-mounted version, lends the bathroom an innate understated elegance. The Sondo countertop washbasin is made of brushed steel with a minimum thickness of 3 millimetres and, in its smallest version, is also ideal for smaller bathrooms. Thanks to its purist design, it can be combined with different furnishings and materials. The choice of finishes adds a personal touch: while white emphasises the purity of the shapes, the combination of the faucet in a matt black finish with the washbasin in Metallic Dark Iron adds character to the room.
Strong contemporary character: pedestal washbasin with freestanding Meta tapware
The combination of a pedestal washbasin with the Meta freestanding mixer appears just as style-conscious, but totally different from the previous proposal: in the Metallic Dark Iron finish as an alternative to the classic white, the Alape washbasin conquers the scene. Made of a special enamel containing real metal, it ensures maximum brilliance. It reflects and absorbs the surfaces of the surrounding materials, with an effect that changes depending on the perspective. Meta in the freestanding version appears equally dynamic: the clean lines of the tap are eye-catching and, particularly in the matt black finish, contrast with the shine of the pedestal washbasin.
Minimalist and compact: Folio washbasin with Vaia mixer
The single lever mixer Vaia, designed by Sieger Design with reduced projection, is ideal for combining traction and contemporaneity even in the smallest spaces. Perfectly combined with the Folio series by Alape for functional mini-bathrooms with an attractive design. Washbasin unit, Folio is an interesting proposition in terms of finish, lightness and storage space. The washbasin is distinguished by its thin, satin-finished steel panelling. The smaller version, just 363 mm wide and 361 mm high, is particularly suitable for guest bathrooms. Four finishes are available for the cabinet door: Moonstone, Shadow earth, Fossil grey and White – or Brushed oak.
