2022 Trends: from the Salone del Mobile in Milan, a bathroom with an increasingly key décor role
The latest edition of the Salone del Mobile in Milan saw the definitive consolidation of the leading role of the bathroom in the domestic environment. No longer a mere utility area, the bathroom has become central to well-being, and is the focus of creative experimentation in interior design. The latest trends presented during the week in Milan have shown us a bathroom with the accent on style research, complemented by innovative technological solutions. Taps play a key role in this new approach to the bathroom, with designers viewing them not only as a simple structural element, but as a significant style choice. This is precisely the direction the new Rubinetterie Treemme taps are moving in, with rigorous, highly functional models featuring an innovative design, in ranges that combine beauty and engineering for a smooth, top-quality result.
Colours and finishes: gold shines brighter than ever
One of the most interesting bathroom trends of this Salone 22 is a return to clean geometries and to the shapes of the past, given a bright new contemporary twist. Lengthy research has explored colour in depth, and the gold finish in particular, conceived for mixer taps and shower heads, has become a must.
The gold effect can be found among the finishes of Watt, one of the three Rubinetterie Treemme collections presented in Milan: a range of mixer taps inspired by the world of lighting, characterised by built-in panels with a design that recalls the buttons of the old transistor radios. Designed in collaboration with Q-BIC studio, Watt is an expression of how light blends with water. This supremely versatile collection is perfectly in line with current colour trends in the bathroom furnishings sector.
Rubinetterie Treemme at the Salone del Mobile
There was more than just colour to admire at the Salone del Bagno in Milan, which also offered the chance to observe the evolution of technology in this unique, distinctive area of the home.
Designed to enhance the experience in contact with water, taps play a role of central importance that links style research with energy saving, two themes that are increasingly present in contemporary design. Rubinetterie Treemme collections slot perfectly into this approach: T30, with its brass mixer taps designed by Giampiero Castagnoli and Marco Pisati, and Watertube, devised by Massimiliano Braconi, illustrate the modern style of the company and its research conducted in the area of eco-sustainability. The former is sophisticated and versatile, with sections reduced to a minimum, while the latter features simple, rigorous geometries, and both ranges take style up a gear, opening up to design solutions able to satisfy an increasingly recurring desire for purity. Watertube in particular has “shaped simplicity”, bringing an elegant, innovative edge to it, with an appearance that stylishly recalls old Italian neighbourhood fountains. This is a product with no equal on the bathroom scene, featuring a small number of clean lines able to open up new horizons from both a functional and aesthetic point of view.
Beauty and efficiency
The Rubinetterie Treemme collections on show at the Salone 22 slot smoothly into the most current trends, boasting a confident design and simple geometric shapes, with lines able to offer multiple solutions for a comfortable, eclectic bathroom that is a delight to spend time in. Exquisitely styled taps and mixer taps, designed to bring shape to the essential element that is water and able to team beauty with function in attractive, high-performance models.
