The BetteLux Oval Couture collection features a titanium-steel bath and washbasin which are covered and upholstered a woven fabric reminiscent of a cosy sofa. Four colour options and a high level of functionality bring sensuousness and comfort into the bathroom.
First showcased at Salone Bagno 2016 as a concept, the BetteLux Oval Couture has become a marketable collection for the company.
The familiarity of the warmth and homely comfort of fabrics and upholstery traditionally seen in living rooms and bedrooms is now replicated in the bathroom. Designer Dominik Tesseraux (Tesseraux + Partner, Potsdam) and steel/enamel specialist Bette decided to try something absolutely new to bring the sensuous quality of upholstered textiles into the bathroom: Fabric upholstery provides an extremely tactile experience, since it pleases the hand and delights with the texture, which literally makes bathroom products tangible.
With BetteLux Oval Couture, the free-standing oval bath body (185 x 85 cm) and free-standing circular washbasin (ø 55 cm) are constructed from high quality glazed titanium-steel, a material combination that has proven itself many times over as highly robust and easy-care. Bette has come up with an extremely pleasing aesthetic solution for the transition from fabric to steel, since the narrow overlapping slim rim of the bath and washbasin body nestles closely against the textile aprons. The aprons are upholstered by the Bielefelder Werkstätten, covered in a woven functional fabric by fabric specialist JAB Anstoetz and bound to a strong stainless steel frame for a waterproof finish. In looks and feel, BetteLux Oval Couture is absolutely on par with a comfortable sofa, and radiates an equally relaxed atmosphere.
What also contributes to the high quality of stay in the bathroom is that the upholstery effectively “swallows” noise, so the room acoustics are generally improved. This means the ensemble is not only of interest for private homes, but is also an excellent solution in open bed/bathroom areas in hotel projects where comfort, quality and exceptional design are the prime considerations.
Bath and washbasin are available in the colours Ivory (beige), Moss (green), Carbon (anthracite) and Elephant (grey marl). The colours of the steel/enamel and fabric can be perfectly matched to each other as desired. The functional fabric itself is highly resilient, easy-care and resistant to water, mould and weather. The Delbrück-based company has opted for a round 30-mm shadow joint on the underside of the bath, which means it is extremely easy to clean.
