Hastings Tile & Bath, the importer and distributor of the finest in contemporary bath products, is pleased to introduce additional ceramic pieces to its successful Artisan Ceramic collection. The ceramic tubs and Totem basins are available in more than 12 colors and 12 ‘deco’ patterns. The ‘deco’ designs include intricate spirals, cursive writing, nature themes, delicate lace and linen patterns and a rainbow of stripes. These options provide an almost endless array of inspiration for bath projects. The designs are carefully applied to the glaze and then baked for permanence. This collection allows you to pick both the ‘deco’ and the background color; either gloss black or gloss white. The primary design colors are matte white, gloss black, matte black, orange, red, olive green, brown, gloss grey, matte grey, platinum outer/gloss white, gold outer/gloss white and gloss white. Matte white is an uncommon finish in bathroom ceramics and yet it has become one of Hastings’ most popular.
“Since our mission and tag line is Color is Everywhere, we are pleased that the industry is responding so well to our Artisan series,” said Bob Gifford, director of bath products at Hastings Tile & Bath. “Having the designs applied into the glaze before they are finished gives them more depth and shine; the colors really pop. Designers and homeowners love knowing they have so many options to help personalize their designs.”
We present these exquisite additions to the Artisan Ceramic collection:
Ceramic Deco Tubs
These unique tubs are designed in an extremely innovative way: their interior is crafted using solid surface and the exterior panels are ceramic, each imbued with their ‘deco.’ The rectangular ceramic panels are attached to the exterior of the tub via magnets. The entire tub is supported by a non-showing aluminum structure.
The Class tub, slightly different from the ‘deco’s’, is a beautifully executed, hand-detailed design that makes a compelling statement in the bath. Hand-painted gold or platinum buttons punctuate the Capitone panels of the white ceramic bath.
The other two tubs shown are the Rainbow design and the Words in Gold in gloss black. All are available with one to four panels, depending on installation.
Totem Basins
The Totem Basins, or Pillars, are the epitome of sophisticated, streamlined style in the bath. These durable basins are crafted from a single ceramic mold to prevent forming any seams. The smooth curvature and elongated shape of these ceramic pedestal sink basins, along with the decorative finishes, colors and patterns create an aesthetic that’s both minimal and lavish.
