Ideal Standard has expanded its Alu+ range with taps, beauty bars and accessories, and two new finishes – Bronze and Chrome.

First introduced during Milan Design Week, Design Continuum explores how design shapes perception.

Modern living requires homeowners to make the most of the space available to them, particularly in bathrooms where layouts are often compact.

Conceived as a platform for dialogue, the installation explores how design shapes perception and influences our senses.

The Villeroy & Boch Group will present Design Continuum: A Study in Sensory Experience during Clerkenwell Design Week.

Ideal Standard’s i.life furniture collections are designed to meet the demands of modern living, offering smart storage solutions and stylish vanity units for bathrooms of every size.

Pantone has named Cloud Dancer, a pure, confident white, as the Colour of the Year for 2026.

The Connect 2 range of shower enclosures from Ideal Standard brings together functionality, accessibility and refined aesthetics in one coordinated collection.

Ideal Standard, part of the Villeroy & Boch Group, has renewed Roberto Palomba’s role as chief design officer. Palomba and his Milan-based studio, Palomba Serafini Associati, have been working with Ideal Standard since 2018.

Villeroy & Boch posted a 6.7% increase in revenue for the first nine months of 2025, reaching €1,075.2 million. This growth was largely driven by the acquisition of Ideal Standard, despite the challenging market conditions and lower consumer spending.
