Victoria + Albert has expanded its best-selling Lussari collection with the introduction of new built-in bath options in 1600mm and 1700mm sizes, offering greater flexibility for contemporary bathroom design projects.
Joining the existing freestanding, back-to-wall and corner bath models, alongside coordinating freestanding and back-to-wall basins, the new drop-in and undermount baths retain the collection’s signature sculptural aesthetic and ergonomic comfort, while catering to a broader range of bathroom layouts.
Designed for compact, family and multigenerational bathrooms, the latest additions respond to growing demand from designers and homeowners for alcove bathtubs manufactured in a premium material. The built-in baths can be clad in marble, natural stone, antique mirrored glass or polished tiles to create a sophisticated, bespoke bathroom scheme.
Named after Mount Lussari in the north-eastern corner of Italy, the Lussari collection has been designed to promote relaxation and rejuvenation, while also delivering a comfortable showering experience. Featuring an elegant oval silhouette, the new built-in models coordinate seamlessly with the Lussari freestanding and back-to-wall basins.
The baths can be paired with traditional brassware, including collections from Perrin & Rowe, or contemporary fittings such as showers from Aqualisa. Designers can also specify a Victoria + Albert bath filler and overflow, removing the need for deck or wall-mounted bath taps.
Available in either a gloss or matt finish, the new baths are designed to diffuse light softly for a refined appearance. Levelling feet are also included to support precise installation.
Victoria + Albert pioneered contemporary freestanding bath design with the development of its proprietary Quarrycast™ material more than 30 years ago. Made using a blend of Volcanic Limestone™ and high-performance resins, the material is engineered for durability, strength and ease of maintenance.
More than twice as hard as acrylic, Quarrycast™ is resistant to scratches, stains, UV damage, hair dyes and bath oils, while preventing creaking or flexing. The naturally insulating material also helps retain water temperature for longer, enhancing bathing comfort while improving energy efficiency. Despite its strength, Quarrycast™ remains lightweight for easier installation on-site.
