A shift is taking place in bathroom design, where the sharper geometry that has defined recent years is giving way to fuller silhouettes and more sculptural forms that feel grounded, generous and enduring. Freestanding baths remain central to this evolution, though the focus is increasingly on proportion, usability and how a piece sits within a scheme from both a visual and practical perspective.
Responding to this direction, BC Designs introduces Highcroft, a new freestanding bath that brings a softer, more sculpted profile into the Cian® solid surface range, offering specifiers and retailers a design that balances presence with versatility across both traditional and contemporary projects.
Measuring 1745mm in length, Highcroft has been designed with generous internal dimensions to support a more immersive bathing experience, while maintaining a compact-enough footprint to suit a wide range of bathroom layouts. The bath’s gently contoured form creates a strong visual anchor without dominating the space, making it well suited to both residential and hospitality settings.
Highcroft is manufactured from BC Designs’ Cian® solid surface material, a proprietary composition that continues to play a central role in the brand’s product development. Combining durability with a refined finish, Cian offers high levels of heat retention, helping to maintain water temperature for longer periods, while its non-porous surface ensures ease of maintenance in day-to-day use. The material is also fully repairable, supporting long-term performance and making it particularly suitable for specification in high-use environments.
For retailers one of the key advantages of Cian lies in its integral colour capability. Available in both gloss white and BC Designs’ ColourKast finishes, Highcroft benefits from colour that runs throughout the material rather than sitting on the surface. This ensures consistency of tone across all edges and surfaces, while also allowing for light refinishing without compromising the finish.
As part of BC Designs’ wider portfolio, Highcroft sits within a collection that continues to prioritise material innovation, craftsmanship and design clarity. With freestanding baths remaining a key focus for the brand, the introduction of Highcroft offers an additional option for projects seeking a softer aesthetic, without compromising on performance or longevity.
Highcroft is available to bricks-and-mortar showrooms only, as part of BC Designs commitment to retailers.
