Victoria + Albert Baths expands its product offering with latest compact bath range


compact baths. These reimagined versions of the best-selling Amiata, Toulouse and Barcelona baths are just 1500mm, enabling luxurious bathing in smaller-scale bathrooms. With a typical inset bath requiring around 1700mm to fit, this means that a Victoria + Albert freestanding bath is a viable alternative, offering greater style and luxury, and enhancing the feeling of space in the room. The Toulouse, Amiata and Barcelona baths are

three of the most popular designs in the Victoria + Albert portfolio. The new editions reinforce the firm’s long-standing belief in the restorative power of a long soak, even in the smallest of spaces, and reflects Victoria + Albert’s status as the brand


ritish bathroom brand Victoria + Albert Baths is launching three new


with the greatest choice at the quality end of the market. Crafted from the unique QUARRYCAST™


material developed by Victoria + Albert, and used for all their freestanding baths and basins, these new designs – the Amiata 1500, Barcelona 1500 and Toulouse 1500 - benefit from the same features of the brand’s extraordinary material: solid throughout; super-strong; scratch and stain resistant; wipe-clean and ambient to the touch. The natural qualities of the material mean that a bath stays warmer for longer, and less energy is wasted warming a cold metal shell. Each bath comes complete with a natural, beautiful, high- shine white finish, but can be customised thanks to the firm’s RAL colour service, offering almost 200 bespoke colour options in either a matt or gloss finish.


The Barcelona 1500’s predecessor was inspired


by the popular Spanish city and has become acknowledged globally for its opulent curves and organic design details. So popular is the Barcelona tub that it has been specified for a number of high profile, luxury hotel projects, including Hampshire’s Chewton Glen and Somerset’s At the Chapel, plus New York’s Baccaratt Hotel & Residences. The Toulouse, meanwhile, is a deep, double-ended bateau tub inspired by French designs of the 1860s. The new compact version emulates the same grandeur as the original, but can now be enjoyed in city bathrooms and en- suites.

Bisque serves up stylish heating solutions at The Waterside Inn, Bray-on-Thames


I


n the leafy Berkshire village of Bray-on- Thames, you’ll find one of the UK’s


outstanding fine dining experiences, The Waterside Inn. Renowned for its classic French cuisine, and proud of its three Michelin stars, The Waterside Inn is as famous for its hospitality as for its food. The Waterside Inn also offers 11 luxuriously


appointed guestrooms and a private dining room. The establishment has recently undergone


Phase One of a two-phase refurbishment of its guestrooms, overseen by in-house designer, Laura Roux. The fittings and fixtures were quickly


identified as important finishing touches within each room, with the radiators in particular creating a focal point. Laura sought inspiration at the Zehnder & Bisque Customer Experience Centre (CEC) in Camberley to determine the design best suited to each of the rooms, using both traditional and modern product ranges. ‘We found that Bisque, which is part of the


Zehnder group, offered a broad range of products designed to enhance the atmosphere and style of any room,’ says Laura. ‘Bisque’s outstanding reputation for quality and fantastic customer service lived up to our expectations.’


The refurbished guestrooms are La Tamise


(The Thames), Le Nid Jaune (The Yellow Nest), Le Jardinet (The Little Garden) and La Terrasse (The Terrace). ‘The refurbished rooms feel fresh and inviting while remaining faithful to the overall look and feel of The Waterside Inn,’ says Laura. ‘We’re delighted with the end result.’ For more on Bisque and to discover their


decorative radiator range for yourself, visit the Bisque website.
