VOGUE (UK) LAUNCHES BRUSHED BRASS OPTION Vogue (UK), brings the raw beauty of brass to the modern bathroom with Studio: a contemporary heating design available in un-lacquered brushed brass and premium lacquered finishes. Opulent and highly defined with straight cross rails and discreet wall brackets, Studio is both eye-catching and graceful by adding colour and warmth to the walls of the latest shower rooms, ensuite’s and master bathrooms. “A fashionable alternative to popular chrome, the return of brass continues to carry favour in the bathroom with premium taps, accessories and heating solutions answering the trend for raw materials that evoke old glamour” says Steve Birch, Sales Director at Vogue (UK). In harmony with current trends, Studio is available in
un-lacquered brushed brass as standard, in addition to a range of contemporary matt colours or premium lacquers that undergo an extra finishing process. Created with longevity in mind, the Studio towel warmer is made from the highest quality DZR brass, which is extremely malleable and resistant against dezincification so is suitable for all heating and hot water systems. A design which is more than meets the eye, Studio creates the look and feel of a luxury spa thanks to its capped off smooth ends and hidden rear air vent, which promise a seamless quality finish. The Studio Towel Warmer is available in 3 sizes: H720mm (14 bars), 1,000mm (21 bars), 1435mm (30 bars). www.vogueuk.co.uk
