Maximising storage space is at the heart of EDIN’s design – a contemporary Fitted Furniture family from Bathrooms to Love by PJH. Available in both standard (318mm) and slim (218mm) depth options, the versatile EDIN range offers a wealth of product options for a stylish, tailormade fit, centred around flexible storage solutions.

The slim space-saving EDIN range with reduced 218mm depth includes a great choice of one-door, two-door, basin, WC and mirror storage units in widths ranging from 200mm to 600mm, which can be configured into flush runs of cabinets, with a minimum footprint yet maximum storage space. The clever compact units can also be installed either floor-standing with the matching clip-on plinths, or wall-mounted, using the brackets included – to help free up valuable floor space when working with space-challenged rooms (pictured right).

A penthouse apartment set within an elegant early 20th-century Art Nouveau building in the historic centre of Reggio Emilia has been transformed into a sophisticated contemporary home by LAB DESIGN, led by Architect Nicola Pedron.

The renovation reinterprets the property’s historic character through a minimalist and timeless design language, with a focus on enhancing natural light, spatial flow and everyday functionality. A refined palette of dark oak flooring, gold-backed cork wallpaper, natural wood and satin-finish metals creates a warm and cohesive aesthetic throughout, while bespoke furniture and discreet indirect lighting reinforce the apartment’s calm, understated elegance.

At the centre of the home is an expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, defined by exposed white beams and large windows overlooking the city rooftops. The master suite adopts a more intimate atmosphere, featuring a suspended bed and open walk-in wardrobe set against a richly textured backdrop.

The bathrooms were conceived as serene wellness spaces, combining natural stone, brushed resin and bespoke detailing to create a sophisticated spa-like feel. Here, solutions from Ritmonio play a key role in completing the scheme.

Selected throughout the project, the Diametro35 Inox collection in stainless steel complements the apartment’s contemporary material palette with its pure lines and understated aesthetic. Combining refined design with durability, hygiene and ergonomic functionality, the collection integrates seamlessly into the architecture, adding a subtle industrial edge while maintaining the project’s overall warmth and elegance.

Spanish bathroom specialist Acquabella has reaffirmed its commitment to health, safety and sustainability with a portfolio of premium mineral-based products that are entirely free from crystalline silica. Designed with wellbeing and environmental responsibility in mind, the company’s surfaces combine high-performance materials with independently certified credentials for indoor air quality, hygiene and recycled content.

As awareness continues to grow around the risks associated with crystalline silica and silicosis, a serious occupational lung disease linked to certain engineered stone products, Acquabella is highlighting its proactive approach to safer material specification. The manufacturer’s shower trays and countertops are deliberately formulated without crystalline silica, reflecting a long-term commitment to protecting installers, fabricators, employees and end users throughout the entire product lifecycle.

Instead, Acquabella’s products are manufactured using mineral fillers including calcium carbonate and dolomite, materials that differ fundamentally from crystalline silica-based engineered stone linked to silicosis cases globally. This considered material choice underlines the brand’s focus on creating safer bathroom solutions without compromising on design, durability or performance.

Certified materials designed for healthier living

Alongside being crystalline silica-free, Acquabella’s collections also deliver a range of independently certified environmental and wellbeing benefits. Its shower trays contain up to 74% pre-consumer recycled content, while countertops incorporate up to 57%, both verified by SCS Global Services.

The products also achieve an A+ classification for indoor air quality in accordance with ISO 16000-6, helping to support healthier residential and commercial interiors. In addition, Acquabella’s surfaces are certified antibacterial to ISO 22196:2011, offering enhanced hygiene performance for modern bathroom environments where cleanliness and ease of maintenance remain key priorities.

Further reinforcing its sustainability credentials, the company has registered both Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and FDES certifications for its Akron® shower trays and countertops, independently verified to provide greater transparency around environmental performance.

Sustainability embedded across operations

Acquabella’s environmental commitment extends beyond product development into its wider manufacturing operations. The company states that 100% of the electricity used across its facilities comes from certified renewable energy sources, supporting a more responsible production model aligned with evolving industry expectations.

The manufacturer also holds ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification, demonstrating a structured approach to reducing environmental impact and continually improving sustainable performance throughout its operations.

As part of its wider climate strategy, Acquabella has also completed the calculation and registration of its corporate carbon footprint, strengthening its commitment to transparency and lower-impact manufacturing.

With growing demand for safer, more sustainable specification choices across the bathroom sector, Acquabella continues to position itself at the forefront of contemporary bathroom design with products engineered to support both wellbeing and environmental responsibility.

With delicate golden veining set against a soft, creamy base, Lucca Oro is the latest surface to be introduced into the Ceralsio ceramic collection from CRL Stone.

Effortlessly elegant, Lucca Oro adds a layer of quiet luxury to interior spaces, tapping into the trend for warm-toned surfaces with natural movement. The stone-effect finish works beautifully in both classic and contemporary settings, pairing equally well with wood, brass, concrete and soft metallics.

As with all Ceralsio surfaces, Lucca Oro has been developed to offer outstanding performance in residential and commercial environments. Completely non-porous and highly stain resistant, it also withstands scratches, heat and UV exposure, ensuring that its colour and texture remain stable even in the most demanding applications.

Lucca Oro is suitable for use across kitchen and bathroom countertops, wall cladding, flooring, facades, media walls and outdoor kitchens. With the growing demand for thin, large-format surfacing, its availability in 12 mm and 20 mm thicknesses ensures designers and fabricators can achieve a high-spec finish without compromise.

Victoria + Albert’s Lussari collection, one of the brand’s best-selling ranges, is expanding to offer new built-in bath compact bath options in 1600mm and 1700mm sizes.

The drop-in or undermount additions retain Lussari’s distinctive sculptural form and ergonomic comfort, while offering greater flexibility for a wider range of bathroom layouts. Ideal for smaller bathrooms, the launch also supports demand from designers and homeowners for alcove bathtubs in a luxe material, which can be clad in marble, stone, antique mirrored glass or high polished tiles for a striking and sophisticated design.

Named after the majestic Mount Lussari in the North-eastern corner of Italy, the collection offers an ergonomic design that encourages relaxation and rejuvenation, while also providing a comfortable showering experience.

With an elegant, oval shape that complements the Lussari freestanding and back-to-wall basins, the new built in baths can be paired a Victoria + Albert bath filler and overflow, negating the need for bath taps.  Available in a gloss or velvety matt finish, which diffuses light beautifully, the new built-in baths offer levelling feet for perfect installation.

Victoria + Albert is a pioneer of contemporary freestanding bath design, having developed its own proprietary material, Quarrycast™ 30 years ago.  Made from a blend of Volcanic Limestone™ and high-performance resins, the material is exceptionally strong and durable.  Resistant to hair dyes and bath oils, it is more than twice as hard as acrylic with no creaking or flexing, and easy to keep clean.  

Scratch, stain and UV resistant, the material is also a natural insulator, so less of the heat of the water is spent warming up the tub, and the bath water will stay warm for longer.  While the material is hardy, it is surprisingly lightweight for easy installation.

Made to last, Victoria + Albert baths benefit from a 25-year consumer guarantee.

British cabinetry hardware designers and makers Hendel & Hendel introduce Scroll, a new solid-brass collection created for retailers, designers, and specifiers seeking hardware with a more sculptural presence across residential projects.

Inspired by the unfurling motion of a parchment roll or textile spool, Scroll is defined by its soft curvature, delicate taper and gently flared edge, creating the impression of movement held in brass. Crafted from solid brass, each handle is hand-finished to enhance the natural depth and variation of the material.

Scroll has been developed as a flexible collection suited to kitchens, wardrobes and utility spaces. Its clean, sculptural profile works across a wide range of cabinetry styles, offering a cohesive hardware solution that can be carried throughout the home. The range supports upsell opportunities through finish and size variation, while maintaining a consistent design language that is simple for customers to understand and adopt across multiple rooms.

Available in a range of sizes and finishes, including Burnished Brass and Dark Brushed Brass, Scroll supports a wide spectrum of interior palettes, from warmer, tonal schemes through to darker, more contrast-led spaces.

As part of Hendel & Hendel’s growing portfolio, Scroll reflects a continued focus on hardware that moves beyond purely functional requirements, offering designers an opportunity to introduce subtle sculptural elements into everyday cabinetry, while remaining practical for daily use.

Circular manufacturing, modular furniture and wellbeing-focused interiors are expected to shape the conversation at Clerkenwell Design Week 2026, as brands across the design and specification sectors prepare to unveil their latest launches and installations.

Circular materials and low-impact production

One of the most talked-about projects this year is expected to be Brew House by Studio Egret West, created using innovative Brew Bricks manufactured with recycled coffee grounds collected from London cafés. Produced in collaboration with Simple Works and York Handmade, the bricks demonstrate how waste materials can be successfully integrated back into the construction process.

Sustainable material innovation continues elsewhere, with Parkside showcasing terrazzo surfaces produced using recycled quarry waste, while Moventi focuses on durable furniture solutions designed with longevity in mind. Bathroom specialist Laufen will also unveil its new VOLTA basin by designer Yves Béhar, manufactured using SaphirKeramik and produced in a solar-powered kiln process aimed at reducing environmental impact.

Heritage influences and craftsmanship return

Traditional craftsmanship remains a strong design influence throughout the festival. Czech artist David Černý brings his Butterfly Effect installation to London, combining historical storytelling with advanced 3D-printing technology from Prusa Research.

Lighting and furniture brands are also revisiting classic influences, with companies including Minale, Tinker & Tallulah and Fritz Fryer introducing collections inspired by heritage craftsmanship and vintage styling.
Workplace wellbeing and adaptable interiors.

Wellbeing, acoustics and neuroinclusive design are continuing to influence workplace interiors. SPACEMANN will launch its acoustic-certified Odyssey pod system, while 2020 Furniture Design presents SOMA, created to support neurodiverse users in open-plan environments.

Meanwhile, modular and reconfigurable furniture remains a major trend, with brands including .mdd, Hawk Furniture and Workbench showcasing adaptable solutions for changing commercial spaces.
Clerkenwell Design Week 2026 takes place across Clerkenwell, London, from 19–21 May 2026.

Launching at the Clerkenwell Design Week at the RAK Ceramics Design Hub, I Sassi Borgogna by RAK Ceramics is a sophisticated new surface collection that combines heritage-inspired aesthetics with contemporary ceramic innovation.

Available in four versatile shades – greige, ivory, light grey and sand – the collection has been developed to complement a broad range of residential and commercial interiors. Large-format sizes including 90x180cm, 120x120cm and 60x120cm support continuous surface applications, helping architects and designers achieve a streamlined, cohesive aesthetic throughout a project.

Inspired by the extraordinary landscape of Sassi di Matera, the UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its ancient cave dwellings continuously inhabited since the Paleolithic era, the collection captures the enduring beauty of natural stone shaped over centuries by water, wind and time. The character of Matera’s calcarenite rock formations informs the collection’s layered textures and authentic material appearance, creating surfaces that feel both timeless and architectural.

Designed to sit alongside the existing I Sassi Matera collection, I Sassi Borgogna introduces a refined ceramic interpretation that balances visual depth with understated elegance. Both collections share a coordinated base palette, allowing designers to create seamless transitions across spaces while maintaining a cohesive interior scheme. Decorative flakes are subtly layered across the Borgogna surface to introduce movement and tonal variation, delivering an organic finish with a contemporary edge.

Blending historical influence with modern ceramic technology, I Sassi Borgogna reflects RAK Ceramics’ ongoing commitment to design-led innovation, craftsmanship and material excellence.
