Piéce de resistance

Not everyone is looking for predictable bathroom design solutions. In fact, many homeowners want exactly the opposite a bathroom that mixes the latest technology with bold aesthetics to create an exciting conversation piece.

This bathroom features new products from the designers at Maax a leading North American manufacturer of award-winning bathroom products. It also reflects the trend towards contemporary finishes that combine European flair with American-inspired comfort and convenience.

Yvan Lachance, Maax marketing manager, says upscale bathrooms are increasingly likely to feature a mix of materials, with simplicity a key focus.

"The mix of glass, concrete and dark wood in this bathroom is a good example of this trend," he says. "These are natural, honest materials that enhance a sense of relaxation and wellbeing."

Lachance says the new Maax Expose glass shower also fits with the trend towards luxurious bathrooms that have a tranquil resort ambiance.

"The Expose elevates the shower to an art form. Similarly, the dramatic sculptural Viaggi¢ bathtub speaks of simplicity while transforming the everyday tub into a work of art."

The Viaggi is a seamless, egg-shaped bathtub that sits atop a thick, geometric wooden frame, which gives it a contemporary twist.

Lachance says the Maax series can be adapted to suit individual preferences. For example, the Expose shower is available as a walk-in, similar to a spa set-up, or with a sliding door to accommodate steam therapy.

"Every unit is made from the finest materials, such as curved glass, high-quality aluminum finishes and solid wood trim, which adds a warm sophistication to the bathroom."
