The flexibility of glass

Transparency, resistance, sustainability, safety, lightness and beauty: these are the qualities that have made glass the material of modernity par excellence. Thanks to many experiments and innovations in the technical field, and to the work of companies, engineers and architects, the use of glass in architecture and interior design has constantly evolved, having a substantial impact on the change in our domestic habits and our concept of living. Among the environments that have changed the most in recent years is undoubtedly the bathroom, which is increasingly a place of comfort, well-being and privacy. Applying all the flexibility of glass in the bathroom is the mission of Vismaravetro, a company that has been active in the market for the production of shower cubicles for over 70 years, and has therefore accompanied the transformations of this environment. At the Salone del Mobile 2022, the world's most important design fair, Vismaravetro presented a series of proposals that represent a new evolutionary step in the company's excellent path. Suite, designed by Castiglia Associati, is not simply a shower enclosure: it is a piece of design that combines flexibility, lightness and elegance, allowing you to redesign spaces and redefine bathroom standards. With Suite, the possibilities are endless: unusual compositions, made-to-measure cuts, ceiling frames and even more textures, materials, colours and advanced options such as the possibility of obscuring the glass in one touch for maximum privacy.

Sk-in is a complete solution for those who want a walk-in shower enclosure. It is an open, doorless shower that minimises the barriers to the rest of the room, both functionally and visually. The new PKT model consists of a laminated glass partition, elegantly framed by an aluminium profile. PKT is customisable and suitable for a wide variety of design requirements. The Supersintesi collection features a minimalist, rigorous and functional design. Supersintesi has a dual power: that of blending into the environment, integrating discreetly into the walls, and that of catalysing attention, thanks to the discreet elegance of the miniaturised technical components, which leave the stage to the large glass surfaces. The hinges are the distinguishing element of Supersintesi: placed at the end of the glass they enhance the concept of cleanliness and formal rigour. Link is a product in which the superfluous is not contemplated. The semi-framed shower enclosure with hinged door presents surprising solutions: a single profile combines the functions of adjustment and opening. The profile acts as a hinge itself thanks to its ability to rotate on a pivot with an up-and-down movement. Everything in Link works by subtraction: the magnetic seals are embedded in a profile applied to the glass section, for a space-saving effect, as is the handle set in a recess of the door glass.
