Products Briefs: Hospitality
H2O
Resembling a perfectly shaped ice cube, Viso's H2O is actually made of polycarbonate with a semi-metallized finish in silver, copper, or gold tone. Each diffuser measures 8” or 12” cubed and suspends from a 117” cord. They can be specified as single pendants or customized in a cluster or canopy to create a dramatic effect. While the semitransparent design is paired with an Edison filament bulb, it can also be fitted with LED lamping on request. Also available as a floor lamp.
Vola RS10 Electronic Soap Dispenser
Danish manufacturer Vola has introduced RS10, a discreet in-wall dispenser that complements the brand's iconic modernist faucets. Usable with liquid or foam soap, the unit measures 7¼” in diameter, runs on 110–230V power or batteries, and features soap-level indicator lights. Its ring is offered in polished chrome, natural brass, brushed chrome, brushed stainless steel, or 14 colors including light blue and bright red. Available through Hastings Tile & Bath.
Swoon
Swoon, newly added to Studio by 3form's Profile series, is a dimensional diamond-shaped tile with skewed bevel edges and a subtly concave face, affording designers the ability to create intriguing geometric or organic compositions on the wall. The tiles are CNC-machined in MDF and can be specified unfinished, primed and ready to paint, or wrapped in PET or PVC. Each unit measures approximately 5” x 6⅓”.
Flame in New Colors
Following the success of its 2012 collaboration with fashion and home-decor company Missoni, flooring manufacturer Bolon has revamped the color palette for one of its Missoni-collection patterns. Flame is an abstract take on the fashion house's classic zigzagging peak design, now produced in four earthy hues: rust, pine, wood, and stone. Made of 100% phthalate-free vinyl, the woven flooring is well suited to high-traffic zones, and is offered in 6'6” x 82' rolls.
Coil Drapery
Cascade Coil's flexible round-weave drapery is a metallic mesh material that can be used to cover windows and walls or divide spaces to create privacy. A range of sizes, gauges, and finishes—from copper and brass to aluminum and galvanized steel—are available. Inside Aria, a restaurant in Toronto, Stephen Pile Architect installed the company's 3/32”, 21-gauge stainless-steel window coverings.
Cyprum-Finish Fixtures
Trends indicate that rose gold is making a comeback, and Dornbracht is embracing this, introducing the colored-gilt finish to its most iconic sink and tub fixtures. Cyprum —a name derived from “cuprum,” the Latin word for copper—is an 18-carat-gold and copper alloy mix with a noncorrosive electroplated surface available on Dornbracht's MEM bath line, as well as the Tara kitchen series.
Stripe Sliding Doors
Italian furniture and interior-door manufacturer Rimadesio has introduced Stripe, a sliding-door system with slats that create a graphic look. Black or brown aluminum frames on both sides sandwich lacquered glass that can be specified in a number of tints as well as reflective options. The doors can be customized up to 5' wide x 9' 6” high. Available through Dom Interiors.
Carnegie by Lumicor
In a collaboration with textile house Carnegie, Lumicor has transformed five of the company's offerings into decorative resin panels that enable the textiles to be used in new ways—on horizontal surfaces and as wallcoverings, for lighting and partitions. Available in 1/8”- or 1”-thick panels, the material comes in standard sizes of 4' x 8' or 4' x 10', and is easily cleanable using just warm water and mild soap. Lumicor can also create custom panels with Carnegie's other designs.
Impulse
Designer and cable-television personality Candice Olson has reinterpreted the classic flocked wallpaper in Impulse, a new covering for her Modern Luxe series by York Wallcoverings. Here the plush pattern is more geometric and set against a vertical ombre-stripe field with a frosted sheen. The nonwoven wallcovering comes in 20½”-wide rolls and is available in four colorways.
Laika
Blu Dot puts a modern spin on rattan in its Laika lighting pendants. The collection features white or natural-colored paper rattan handwoven onto a white powder-coated steel frame that is left exposed at the top and bottom. Laika is offered in three sizes: the slim-and-tall small pendant (shown) measures 12½” in diameter x 19¾” high; the medium one measures 20½” x 187/8”; and the squat, drumlike large version measures 30” x 15¾”. A compact fluorescent bulb is included with each fixture.
