»be yourself.« – room-defining washplaces by Alape

News Infurma19/04/2012
As a manufacturer of aesthetic washplace solutions, Alape opens up new perspectives with »be yourself.«, designed by Michael Sieger. The modular washplace furniture divides the bathroom into functional units with free-standing or wall-bound modules. These modules open up the bathroom to adjacent living areas or provide the opportunity for full integration. Sophisticated technical solutions are an integral part of the furniture, making installation quick and simple. A multitude of individual arrangement options has been opened up through the addition of different basin and furniture modules as well as the choice of different surfaces. The trend is towards larger rooms and open-space living. With the new »be yourself.« product line Alape takes a step back from the wall and opens up the additional space to new furnishing ideas. The washplaces may be used as free-standing modules or they can be connected to the wall at right angles. »be yourself.« is both an invitation and challenge to form your surroundings to suit your style. By leaving behind the classic bathroom concept, the consciousness of "I" takes center stage. The bathroom opens up into other living areas, and the act of washing derives greater meaning. »be yourself.« is evident in purist-style washplace modules and is simultaneously convincing as a holistically well-designed unit. The combination of different basins, furniture units and surfaces makes every washplace unique. The »be yourself.« range includes two undermount basins and a sit-on basin that are integrated into counter tops made of wood or natural stone. The counter tops serve simultaneously as continuous washplace storage shelves. The colour shading of the furniture surfaces ranges from dark, such as American oak to limed rosewood and the light-coloured classic oak. Moreover, adjoining the washplace, Alape offers a bath tub enclosure in matching furniture surfaces, and supplies the matching tub too. Integrated into the front section of the tub module are back-lit compartments that provide additional storage room for bath towels, bathroom utensils or decorative items. Due to the use of glazed steel, which is characteristic for Alape, both basin and tub are very accurate in their dimensions so that they integrate seamlessly into the clearly geometric design of the washplace. As with other product series, the Alape »be yourself.« modules feature innovative mirror arrangements with LED lights. The choice of mirrors includes a tilt mirror directly integrated into the furniture or a hanging mirror fixed to the ceiling. »be yourself.« provides smart washplace designs and opens up new perspectives. The new Alape products will win you over in terms of shape, design and choice of materials and blend into high-class living environments. Visit the Alape website Visit the »be yourself.« website
