About me:
Victoria + Albert’s Napoli bath (pictured above) blends contemporary and natural elements into a seamless statement of understated luxury. Its lines are clean and minimalistic – a perfect example of the “less is more” approach to design which has just been recognised by the Museum of Architecture and Design at Prestigious Chicago Athenaeum, presenting it with a Good Design Award. There is also an undeniable element of warmth and nature in the Napoli, with its egg-inspired silhouette and an inherent sense of organic beauty. The Napoli is well complemented by the Napoli 57 Basin (pictured below) vessel basin.

The Napoli is also made with Quarrycast®, a material exclusive to Victoria + Albert, that is made by mixing natural volcanic limestone with high performance resin. Quarrycast® is a stone-rich alternative to both cast iron and acrylic.
