The Customer – Aquamass & Olivier Lapidus
Aquamass designs and creates a range of stunning baths with a focus on modern living. These bathrooms are intended to take control of space, acting as the focal point within living spaces dedicated to wellbeing.
In 2012, Aquamass announced that the famous designer Olivier Lapidus would be creating a new range for the company; the ‘Black Tears Collection’. With a focus on fashion through the decades, Mykon panels were selected to represent the current era: that of technology.
The Challenge
One of the biggest challenges facing the team on this project was ensuring the panels were waterproof. As the panels would need to be fitted around the bath using 45 degree mitre joints at each corner, it was crucial that the technical team found a way to ensure a smooth finish.
This would allow the seals at the corners to be as tight – and therefore as waterproof – as possible. Mykon was also challenged to create the effect desired by the customer, who wished to use lighting and transparency but did not want the plumbing to be exposed.
