Bathroom specialist Splash Distribution has introduced the latest addition to its extensive portfolio - the Atollo multi-function shower cabin from Kos.

The Atollo’s design, from Italian manufacturer Kos,  brings the tools for exceptional well-being, into the home.

With a Turkish bath system, central shower-head and jets for dorsal massage, the Atollo aids deep relaxation and well-being, all in the consumers’ own home.

Atollo also makes use of Kos’s chromotherapy system; Idrocolore®:

When the main bathroom lighting is turned off, Atollo enables users to totally immerse themselves in colour, through the tinting of the vapour within the cabin; Chromotherapy has proven effects on psychophysical wellbeing, making the Atollo a stunning and beneficial addition to the bathroom.

Described by the manufacturer as ‘domestic architecture’, the Atollo is also very stylish. The use of broad expanses of glass allows for the cabin to sit unobtrusively in the bathroom, whilst the minimalist, geometric styling, reminiscent of contemporary architecture, makes it ideal for making a statement in the modern home.

The Atollo multifunction shower cabin, retails at around at £7467.00 including steam function, or around £5117.00 without; both models include white LED lighting; the Idrocolore and radio options are available at an extra cost.

Kos is exclusively distributed in the UK by Splash Distribution.

The IKEA cross-range series IKEA 365+ are practical and essential home lighting products, designed to make life easier everyday of the year.

And that’s exactly what the new IKEA 365+ lighting series is all about – functional, timeless and long-lasting ceiling lamps for every occasion and situation, any day of the year.

The series has been developed, by considering the different lighting needs in a home and the real ways people use lamps.

That’s why the lamps come in different functions, sizes, shapes and materials.

The inner diffuser has been added to provide a soft, comfortable and glare free light and is a good example of the thinking behind the series; the reflectors inside the lamp are a smart way of receiving more light from the light source.

The designers A Nilsson, H Preutz and T Eliasson said; “When we designed the IKEA 365+ lighting series, we started with a vision about good lighting.

We thought about all the different lighting needs in a home and put function first before anything else.

We wanted to work with a basic design and create practical, pleasant and beautiful lighting, which is why we gave the lamps a plain, timeless style that you can enjoy for a long time.

Hopefully, the series will inspire people to create their own good lighting at home.”

Pictured here is the IKEA 365+ BRASA pendant lamp, 45 cm. Comes in Red / White or Black steel. Priced at £35.14.

With its curved lines and flowing contours, Villeroy & Boch’s iconic Aveo bathroom collection, is proving popular with homeowners wishing to make the most of the current trend for nature-inspired bathrooms.

Created by the international design agency Conran & Partners, Aveo has been inspired by the egg as an organic form, which represents a protective shell; the egg shaped ceramic pieces have been designed, to produce a pure sanctuary in which to unwind, relax and forget about the external world.
Conran & Partners created a bathroom collection that combines comfort and luxury with superior aesthetic qualities.

Aside from the powerful symbolism of the egg form, the designers were fascinated by the rounded contours and natural purity, which alludes to “a shape that moves away from the predictability and sterility of symmetries”.
Nakedness is given a whole new meaning within the shell of this bath - shelter and warmth, instead of exposure and vulnerability.

The Aveo collection also includes perfectly harmonising bathroom furniture, made from either bamboo or walnut veneer and demonstrates Villeroy & Boch’s commitment to superb craftsmanship; by dispensing with handles and ornamental mountings, the pure wood effect perfectly complements Aveo’s simple ceramics.
