DESIGN FOR ALL BATHROOM ACCESSORIES

The Design for All Bathroom Accessories collection is an expression of materiality and form at its purest. Crafted by hand of AISI 316L stainless steel — the hardest, most resistant, and most elastic of steels — maximum attention was given to creating minimal shapes with refined details … all to reduce visual clutter and to deliver an elevated end user friendly experience. From the absence of flanges and exposed hinges to a trademark reveal that imparts a discernible lightness and makes installation on uneven surfaces more forgiving, every item in the range brings an incomparable elegance and sense of modernity to the restroom environment. Conceived to blend into a space rather than to distract the eye, and a step away from the institutional look common to the market, design for all was developed in collaboration with Gensler, serving as product design consultant.

DESIGN PARAMETERS

PROTRUDING OBJECT CONSTRAINTS
Objects between 27” and 80” above the floor may only protrude a maximum of 4” into the circulation path.

REACH RANGE CONSTRAINTS
A forward reach must remain between 15”-48” above the floor.

GRAB BARS

A coordinating series of grab bars — a safety device mandated for use in every accessible restroom in the United States — was designed to complete the collection. Available in both round and square profiles, they offer the uncommon combination of institutional quality and visual elegance. Escutcheons are the bane of many interior designs and would be eliminated faster than you could spell the word, but they’re useful in concealing the mounting hardware that helps ensure commercial-grade load capacity. Here, we minimized their dimensionality (both in width and thickness) and added a reveal that lets them hover gracefully, yet securely, on the wall or toilet partition.

COORDINATING SERIES

Related in form and finish, our new range of bathroom accessories allows designers to access everything they need from one source and for the selected products to look more unified and better integrated within spaces. And this means that all users, regardless of their physical abilities or limitations, will feel like they’re part of the program, enjoying the same respect for their needs and autonomy as everyone else. Designed for all, the collection not only delivers a better bathroom experience but a more inclusive one, too.

FINISHES

Hand-crafted in corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel, the Bathroom Accessories collection is available in satin stainless steel and black, bronze, grey, white and champagne powder-coated stainless steel. On request, the styles with the visible inner surface can be customized with a powder-coated plate.

ENDLESS COLORS CUSTOMIZATION

On request, products with a visible inner surface can be customized with a powder coated interior panel.

AMC | PBA ANTI-MICROBIAL COATING

NYCXDESIGN AWARDS 2023

The Bathroom Accessories Collection is a 2023 Interior Design magazine NYCXDESIGN Awards Finalist in the Bath category. The NYCxDESIGN Awards honor the immense range of design talent and diversity in New York City, celebrating outstanding projects and products from designers, manufacturers, and makers.

ADA

Products in this collection comply with ADA requirements (max protrusion 4"). For ADA compliant bathroom design, please refer to our guide and ADA website. All products in this collection are suitable for installation to comply with the ADA and similar accessibility requirements. However, final interpretation of accessibility compliance is the responsibility of the specifier and should be determined according to specific project conditions and local codes.

EPD ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION

The Collection has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an ISO Environmental Declaration based on ISO 14025 and ISO 21930 standards. An EPD transparently reports the environmental performance of products or services from a lifecycle perspective. The preparation of an EPD includes different stages, from acquiring raw materials to the end of life of the final product. EPDs are based on international standards and consider the entire value chain. Additionally, EPD is a third-party verified document. We are proud to offer the EPD for our products, available on the EPD Library.

DECLARE LABEL

The Declare Label is like a nutrition label for the building industry. It is a product transparency disclosure that lists the ingredients in products to help customers ensure healthier indoor living environments. It discloses where a product comes from, the materials it is made from, and its end-of-life pathway. We are proud to offer the Declare "Red List Free" Label for our Design for All Bathroom Accessories collection, available on the international living future institute platform.
