Kelly Hoppen designs a beautiful new range of bathware for apaiser
“With my signature style and apaiser’s experience as one of the leading bathware designers,
we have created a range that is both beautiful and unique”
Kelly Hoppen MBE
Founded in 2000, apaiser is an award winning Australian international bathware designer
and manufacturer specialising in luxury stone composite bathware, bathtubs, basins, vanities
and shower bases. apaiser’s beautifully handcrafted stone bathware is effortlessly elegant
and is renowned for its natural organic feel and sculptural lines. This, fused with Kelly
Hoppen’s distinctive design philosophy creates a blend of curvaceous shapes and highly
functional design.
The new collection includes stunning layered designs such as the HARMONY that resembles
the petals of a lotus flower, the ORIGAMI that was inspired by the intricate Japanese art that
gives it its name and the BANDE that was originally based on the Obi, a sash used in
traditional Japanese dress.
Formulated with optimum performance in mind and using reclaimed sustainable marble as
its core, each apaiser bathware piece has minimal impact on the environment, yet does not
compromise on quality, creating a therapeutic bathing experience.
The new collection of stone composite bathware is a celebration of the East, where the act
of bathing is a ceremony. Its beautifully simple designs combine clean lines, complementary
symmetry and neutral tones, resulting in the perfect harmony. It is both functional and
beautiful and the epitome of sophistication, portraying purity and strength with its soft lines
and Zen-like feel.
The result is a truly sublime blend of inspiring design aesthetic and a luxurious bathing
experience, which eases the ever-increasing stress of modern life. This is truly a collection for
the 21st century.
