On display at this year’s Salone Bagno was the Alape Twice – a double washstand with a functional design. Goslar-based manufacturer Alape is a specialist in washplace solutions made from glazed steel which combines high functionality with sleek design.
Alape Twice is designed by sieger design and seeks to reinterpret the double washstand typology. Perfect for a more compact bathroom environment, Twice provides space for two to use the washbasin at the one time without adding too much bulk or taking up too much space.
Perfectly matched proportions provide both a spacious work surface for accessories and the comfort of having two watering places in one single washstand. The model with base cabinet offers additional functionality.
Designed for main bathrooms in private homes and hotels, Twice impresses with its generous and sleek design.
Designer Michael Sieger describes the form as follows: “The geometrical top view shows a rectangular, well-defined and continuous mould. Its contour creates a contrast and is therefore a characteristic feature”. With its clean shape, Twice blends naturally into the living space bathroom.
Thanks to glazed steel, it is possible to implement this washstand’s extremely precise expression. Alape Twice is available as a solitary washstand and or as a model with a base cabinet – with or without tap holes. All models come without an overflow and a white enamelled cap as standard. To be able to hold water, an overflow in combination with a corresponding drain valve is also optionally available. Thanks to the sophisticated design with its inclined, soft-sloping shape, a small amount of water is sufficient to achieve a quick rise of the water level.
The model with base cabinet is characterised by an elegant, narrow washstand edge and generous storage space. To enable full use of the space, the drawer can be fully extended from the frame, whereas drawer dividers for accessories or dispenser boxes help organise the internal space. The drawer closes silently thanks to the integrated dampened self-closing mechanism. The front panels are available in the laminate finishes White, Walnut and Country Oak
