Villeroy & Boch has launched Samarah tableware, a stylish exotic pattern, which embodies myth, magic and modernity.

This new collection offers an original interpretation of India’s most glamorous aspects, drawing on the vibrancy, opulence and luxury of Eastern architecture.

The extension of the popular NewWave Premium shape available in ivory, turquoise and crimson, resembles henna paintings and is elegantly embellished with gold floral motifs, paisley prints and geometric patterns.

Crafted in bone china, Samarah’s calm and subtle ivory tones sets off the pattern, whilst the layers of gold lend an unusual surface texture, for a luxuriously elegant effect.

Typically Indian patterns such as paisley motifs, borrowed from elegant cashmere scarves of the English colonial era and a fine, delicate contour, reminiscent of Mehndi, feature heavily.

In addition to the delicate ivory range, Villeroy & Boch has also introduced two boldly coloured-patterns, Samarah Turquoise and Samarah Purpur.

These vibrant designs in brilliant blue and deep crimson, are excellent as stand alone pieces, or can be used to add colour to the main collection.

Prices:
Samarah tea cup and saucer £63.90.
Samarah Purpur buffet plate £125.00.
Samarah Turquoise tray stand £246.00.

Rainer Moll, the renowned German designer, has produced an innovative collection for Villeroy & Boch, designed specifically for those in the prime of their lives.

The needs of homeowners change with increasing age, however this does not mean that they must compromise on style; the Lifetime collection demonstrates clever use of product design to create solutions.

By incorporating grips that are not immediately apparent, experimenting with mobility and lowering unit heights, the bathroom has become more user friendly for those who may have mobility difficulties.

Pure ergonomics: The multifunctional character of many elements enhances comfort; the mobile trolley doubles as both vanity unit and bench, enabling the user to shave or put on make-up, while sitting comfortably.

The wash area becomes a cockpit - via the mobile trolley with castors that can be locked into position, the user has everything within easy reach, particularly the compartments, shelves and drawers of the rotating tall cabinet with its full-length mirror, or the compartments of the side cabinet.

Additional features include a bath equally suitable for bathing or showering, a washbasin with recessed grips, offering support whilst standing and a concealed overflow plus anti-splash rim to prevent water reaching the bathroom floor.

The WC provides extra comfort and support to the user and the toilet roll holder has an additional handle to assist movement.

All of the Lifetime furniture items feature pull-out elements, enabling the contents to be seen, removed and easily reached from either a standing or seated position.

The new Lifetime collection is available from a number of leading Villeroy & Boch stockists.

A relaxing soak in a beautiful bathtub is hard to beat, but the design and visual appeal of a bath can easily be spoiled with invasive features, such as metal or plastic bath jets.
 
Villeroy & Boch, a word leader in bathroom innovation, is transforming the appearance of spa baths, with the launch of ‘Invisible Jets’, a system with built-in pop-up jets that are difficult to detect.

The new flush-mounted jets, developed especially for their Ultimate Fitness Whirlpool system, are the same colour as the bath, which means they are almost invisible when not in use.

The jets are arranged on two levels and can be accurately turned to the desired position; they only pop out of the wall of the bath when the massage function is required.

After the powerful massage, the jets automatically retract again and as they are flush with the wall of the bath, they are particularly easy to clean.

Invisible Jets come as standard with all bathtubs that feature the Villeroy & Boch Ultimate Fitness Whirlpool system.

Priced from £1,721 (excluding bath).

The latest trend for modern interiors is the lavish “groom room”; a multifunctional but luxurious space, which is a pampering zone, fitness area and dressing room all rolled into one.
 
In recognition of this trend, Villeroy & Boch has introduced the new City Life collection, which includes sleek ceramics and understated, easy-to-live-with bathroom furniture.

The emphasis is on clean, uncomplicated lines, to create a relaxing space in which to soothe the mind, body and soul.

The City Life Freestanding Bath provides the ideal centrepiece for the “groom room”; made from 100% recyclable material, which has been designed to offer maximum comfort, being warm to the touch, slip and sound resistant and easy-clean. The large bath features gently curved contours, which contrast with the sharp, straight lines of the walnut base.

The new Smart Bench redefines the WC for today’s modern bathroom; the elegant walnut furniture conceals a ceramic toilet, which features an easy-care Ceramicplus finish, a coordinating wooden seat, plus a toilet roll and brush included within the furniture itself.

The stunning new Metric Art vanity washbasin has straight, geometric lines, offered in White Alpin or Star White, with an easy-care Ceramicplus finish and the revolutionary anti-bacterial Activecare glaze.
An optional vanity unit is also available for added storage.

All of the City Life collection is available in either a walnut finish or Okuree real wood veneer finish; the soft, luxurious effect of the wood, is complemented perfectly with indirect lighting on clean glass shelves, to create a soothing atmosphere in which to relax and unwind.

Villeroy & Boch, the World famous manufacturer of bathroom toilets, have introduced a new toilet that actively combats unpleasant odours.

It uses “PurAir” technology and innovative air-flow control around the ceramic parts of the toilet.

When activated by a pressure-sensitive sensor in the toilet seat, the PurAir technology channels odour molecules through a special air duct and a high-powered filter. The filter absorbs large odour molecules and allows smaller pure air molecules through.

The PurAir toilet is available in eight of the existing models from Villeroy & Boch, including - Sunberry, Omnia, Solaya, Grangaracia, Century and Magnum.

This toilet can be mains or battery operated, and the filter only needs to be replaced once a year.

Prices for an Omnia WC classic model fitted with PurAir technology start at £460.
