Splash of inspiration

Sometimes it can be difficult to decide on the right decor for your bathroom until you see the look you want on display. The broader the options in front of you, the easier it is to choose, so an expansive showroom catering to architects, trades and specifiers is a good place to start.

Plumb-Line is a wholesale bathroom importer and manufacturer, offering a variety of contemporary and classic bathroom design options, says CEO Geoff Wallace.

"We display everything from baths, tapware, vanities and sanitaryware through to bathroom furniture," he says. "Visiting our expansive 300m² showrooms will give you a comprehensive idea of what the New Zealand market has to offer generally."

While the product ranges are extensive at these showrooms, they are also individualistic. A good example is the fluid lines of the Samoa basin shown here.

"Designed by award-winning Italian designer Matteo Thun, in conjunction with respected Rome manufacturing house Catalano, the limited-edition Samoa basin challenges the assumptions of traditional basin design," says Wallace. "Samoa brings the fluid lines of a South Pacific atoll to your bathroom. In addition, the water drains invisibly from the basin via a concealed drain, adding to the magic of the piece."

As an importer, Plumb-Line sources high-end lines from around the globe, but also designs and makes its own bathroom furniture inspired by European trends.

Quantum, designed by Plumb-Line, is a boutique, solid timber range featuring frosted-glass panels and clean-lined aluminium detailing. Another Plumb-Line range is Sistema from the Italian word for system offering numerous mix-and-match combinations. High-end-fittings, such as smooth-running drawer systems, are standard in all these ranges.

Plumb-Line's Italian and home-grown products are displayed at the company's two showrooms, and available at plumbing merchant outlets throughout New Zealand.
