What’s new in bathrooms: August 2020

Let’s take a look at what’s new in bathrooms this month, from coloured concrete freestanding sinks on cylinders to a deep bath tub perfect for relaxing, to navy vanities and a statement-making sink!

The Modular Freestanding Basin Range is the latest from Nood, the specialists in coloured concrete, started by former WA Blockheads Matt and Kim. Choose from 14 colours and seven circular basin designs, atop a cylinder stand. Then it’s up to you whether or not to include the handy tray, big enough for your soap and essentials.

Mix and match (or not) your concrete colours

From $1,950.

Navy’s been my favourite colour for many years, and Early Settler have added two very stylish new vanities to their bathroom range in the hue.

The Nate is 1100mm long with two soft-close drawers offering ample room for your shaving gear and cosmetics. It has a built-in resin sink and will set you back $1,199 (save $200 if you’re a Home Club member). Tapware and waste sold separately.

Sleek and contemporary, the Harrington vanity is beautifully crafted from waxed poplar wood with an elegant marble top. Two soft-close cupboards and a deep drawer provide plenty of room to keep your bathroom organised, while the long legs lend a minimalist aesthetic. It’s 1000mm wide and $1,499 (save $250 if you’re a Home Club member).

The winter weather definitely makes a hot soak more appealing and the new Delano bath from Highgrove Bathrooms sure looks comfortable! Crafted with smooth, contoured edges and a lustrous matte black or white surface, it’s made of sanitary grade acrylic and has a high gloss easy clean coating, to ensure it lasts. It’s 1800mm long and costs $1,390 in white and $1,490 in black.

The Tsunami basin is the latest from Italian design house Scarabeo at Paco Jaanson. A word of Japanese origin used to define a giant wave of unusual height, this was the inspiration for designers Giovanni Calisti and Massimiliano Braconi.

It can be wall mounted or an above-counter piece with a single hole tap set. Available in a range of colours and sizes, it will make a real statement.

Nood Co’s “feminised” concrete is more than just a fad

Former Perth Blockhead Matt di Costa’s concrete brand Nood Co, has just released a new range of furniture, basins and tiles, proving that the nation’s love of the material is going nowhere fast! Nood’s subtly coloured, curved concrete items, particularly sinks, have proven extremely popular since launching 18 months ago.

Matt, who is the lead designer with a team of nine creatives, says he’s excited to provide Australia with its first range of concrete furniture with real world use. And it’s all designed and manufactured right here too. Revolutionising what we knew of the ‘boring’ building product, he’s added colour, curve, design, lightness, transportability, and real world use with a warranted sealing process.

“All of the concrete is designed and manufactured in Australia, something we are really proud of. That helps us retain the quality, and shorten lead times for our clients,” he says.

“The idea of Nood was to feminise concrete. We spent three years developing a concrete manufacture process that allowed for thinner, more contemporary design, and to give Australian and international designers a new way to present concrete, in all environments. A new consciousness in concrete is here.”

There are now more than 70 concrete infused products in the range, from dining tables, coffee and side tables, stools, basins, wall and floor tiles, to mirrors, sofas, sideboards, homewares and more.

Matt and wife Kim appeared on The Block: Sky High in 2013, selling their apartment for $1.455 million, pocketing a tidy profit of $250,000.

In timing with the new range, Nood have launched their first East Coast pop up shop (79-81 Fitzroy Street St Kilda, VIC).

To celebrate the St Kilda Showroom launch, Nood Co are offering a 20% off basin sale on Saturday 25 August between 10.30am and 5pm.

Amy’s top 10 concrete picks: Coloured, metallic & much more!

With the industrial aesthetic still going strong, it makes sense that there remain plenty of concrete homewares and furniture options to purchase. To be honest, I thought the concrete trend would have had its day by now but it’s lovely to see the material reworked lately in some fresh and surprising ways. Whether combined with metallics or wood, or produced in a rainbow of different colours, check out my top picks from what is proving to be an enduring material.

Studio Five03 metallic concrete hex planters: I love the contrast between the concrete and high-shine metallic on these planters. $30 each.

Zakkia Ink trivet in grey: Handmade and mixed for a marble effect, this concrete piece is the perfect way to dress a table — just pop a vase or candle on top. $35.
