    #NewCollectionAlert: Graff’s line of sustainable bathware

    Wisconsin based bathware designer Graff released their new collection called Solar with a sleek and minimalist design. The main feature of this collection is the eco-friendly approach, which Graff has taken by modifying aerators to save water by regulating its flow. This collection also features a thermostatic “ski-shaped” shower head.
    It boasts floor, deck and wall mounted faucets for the bathtub and washbasin. Besides the polished chrome, this collection also features matte black and matte white finishes, which have a powder coating making the product resistant to scratches, corrosion and even fading, making it more a sustainable, personalised and long-lasting option.

    #NewCollectionAlert: Premium Basins by Sternhagen

    Basins tend to be one of the most underrated elements in a bathroom. So perhaps it’s time you upgraded this component of your daily routine. We recommend German label Sternhagen’s new range of premium basins. Their seven distinctive offerings include Pent, Kristall, Dune, Golden Cut, Seerose, Kirs and Sand, each named after the inspiration it took cues from.
    While Kristall makes rays of light reflect and refract on every cut and corner, Dune takes the form of ripples on the ocean floor or sand swept desert. The beauty of Pent basin is drawn from the geometric shapes that naturally exist in the world. Available in monochrome hues and edgy shapes, these would be ideal for a contemporary wash space.
