Face lift
Ceramiche Piemme has released an innovative collection of porcelain stoneware tiles named Evoluta. The collection is created using digital software to produce a diverse series of 3D patterns and ripples on the surface of the tiles rather than traditional pressing which can often be repetitive. The first application is then synchronised with a second digital application of glazes that are designed to achieve the desired graphic effect.
The Evoluta collection is available in five colours (Modern, Beyond, Global, Advanced and Cosmopolitan) and three surface options (Natural, Honed and Anti-Slip).
Zipping into action
Zip Water has launched the Touch-Free Wave tap, a contactless solution to aid employers in keeping work environments COVID-19-safe. According to a global survey conducted by market researchers Qualtrics, 74 per cent of people working remotely during isolation want employers to focus on taking action to improve hygiene levels in workplaces before returning to the office.
The tap has other safety features imbedded into the design, such as the twin sensor activation command that ensures boiling water is only dispensed once two of the four sensors are engaged.
This latest addition to the HydroTap range delivers instant boiling, chilled and sparkling water with the wave of a hand.
Evolving timber
EVOVE has reimagined timber surfaces with omni-directional timber wall panels, which can be configured in a number of patterns. The panels are connected to the wall using a specialised mounting board that allows for the panels to be easily detached, reconfigured, and reattached – making for a quick and easy renovation.
Crafted in Australia, a high percentage of the timber used in the panels is sourced from recycled offcuts.
The panels are available in American Oak and American Walnut, and a range of custom finishes and alternate timbers can be considered upon request.
Expelliarmus
Milu Odourless by Australian company Expella is an exclusive range of toilets that eliminate bathroom odours at the source. It features an in-built ventilation system that quietly extracts odours from the toilet bowl. It then discharges them directly into the sewer before they can be released into the bathroom, with the use of the company’s non-return valve. The result is an odour-free environment that increases comfort and wellbeing in the home, and reduces the need for harmful aerosols.
Milu Odourless toilets are available in a range of contemporary designs for back-to-wall and in-wall configurations.
