Ground-breaking, breathtaking bathrooms: Bisazza Bagno’s Hayón Collection

I keep seeing this remarkable new bathroom collection everywhere and I felt I had to show some pictures. Presented last month at the Frankfurt Fair, it's the inaugural collection of Bisazza Bagno (from glass mosaic tile supremos Bisazza) designed by the great Spanish designer Jaime Hayón. There's a nod to Art Deco and Scandinavian design in its forms, while the colours, materials and finishes include white, black, gold, platinum, marble, ceramic and chrome steel. But it's the copper pipe look (in fact, glossy copper finished aluminum) that is wowing me. I've got a bit of a thing for exposed piping at the moment - see the pipes on show in this recent blog post. It's a backlash against the slick, seamless interiors of recent times and a bit of a yearning for authenticity. I suppose we're in an era where we feel the need to see things for what they are and this beautiful bathroom is indicative of that.
