The pedal bin from Vipp was not created in the strictly traditional sense, but got its visual expression in response to a series of functional criteria – one being a pedal for hands-free operation. Designed by Dane Holger Nielsen in 1939, this bin has become an international design icon. Vipp, 13 pedal bin (4L), £189 Vipp, 11 toilet brush, £149 www.vipp.com
A new soap bottle can work wonders, not only via its look but also with the lovely smell it can give the bathroom. TGC106 tulip is a perfumed, organic soap crafted with pure vegetable oils. Imagine, if you will, the freshly harvested bouquet: still cool from outdoors, with close-fitting petals and watery stalks that make a slight squeaking sound when handled. Now, who doesn’t want their bathroom to feel like that? Tangent GC, ‘TGC106’ tulip organic soap, £18.50 www.tangentgc.com
The Brick towel series, by Danish brand Mette Ditmer, has a graphic herringbone pattern woven into the fabric structure, so the pattern becomes a relief detail on the surface. The style and colours create a beautifully integrated and serene look in your bathroom. Mette Ditmer, ‘Brick’ guest towel (35x55cm), two pack, approx. £16 Mette Ditmer, ‘Brick’ standard towel (50x95cm), approx. £14 Mette Ditmer, ‘Brick’ bath towel (70x133cm), approx. £28 www.metteditmer.com
