Ideal Standard presents Daylight offering smarter space for a tidier bathroom
Ideal Standard has announced the launch of its new Daylight collection combining modern, linear styling with a wealth of smart storage ideas. Daylight’s wide range of modular furniture and ceramic sanitary ware is designed to organise and arrange bathrooms of many different shapes and sizes.
Daylight includes a wash-basin, a mirrored cabinet, various models of tall and side cabinets, as well as a series of clever optional elements. The base cabinets fit perfectly with the wash-basin models, and the side cabinets can be fitted with storage boards on both sides. As a result, a ‘level bridge’ is created, connecting the side cabinet with either the wash-basin base cabinet or the tall cabinet.
This design concept is new in Ideal Standard’s bathroom collections and creates an added opportunity for storage under the level bridge. Daylight provides sophisticated ‘extras’ to structure bathroom spaces even more, including a hair-dryer holder as well as expandable towel holders and cabinet elements with an integrated box for cosmetic tissues and a separate cosmetic waste container
“The bathroom has evolved and become more than just a functional area. It continues to gain importance as a core life space, becoming a focal point in the house,” says Paul Frankish, Ideal Standard’s Category Leader, Furniture and Accessories for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).”However, the traditional bathroom is not very spacious, restricting design possibilities and storage space. With Daylight’s furniture range, Ideal Standard provides a convenient response to this challenge by combining intelligent design with a wealth of practical ideas, resulting in maximum storage volume.”
The doors of Daylight’s tall cabinet conceal more drawers with storage boxes – the perfect home for all smaller bathroom accessories. A soft-closing function prevents slamming, allowing all doors in the range to be closed gently and quietly.
Integrated lighting behind the mirror doors provides illumination on both the outside as well as the inside of the mirror cabinet. An extended opening angle of 175° means that the mirror is a practical aid for putting on make-up or shaving. A magnetic strip inside the cabinet secures nail files and clippers within easy grasp. As an optional extra, the Daylight hairdryer holder can be attached to the underside of the cabinet, keeping hairdryers within immediate reach. In line with the modular character of the range, the mirror cabinets come in three sizes, matching the washbasin formats.
Extra storage surfaces from innovative wash basin
The wash basin’s rectangular external shape softly transitions into the inner bowl. Combined with the crescent-shaped tap ledge, this provides additional space on each side of the fitting. Ideal Standard’s Ideal Flow system gives the basin a harmonious style. Ideal Flow is an invisible overflow system that eliminates the need for unsightly and dirt catching overflow holes on washbasins. Once water levels are surpassed, the Ideal Flow system initiates the automatic opening of the water plug thus avoiding any overflow. The Daylight wash-basin comes in five different formats, including a double basin model as well as a built-in variant.
