Beauty And Strength – Sottini’s New Ellero Vessel Range Combines Ultra-Thin, High End Design Aesthetics With Extreme Durability Thin Ceramics is an exceptional new range of vessels from bathroom ceramics specialist Sottini. The high- end, ultra-thin design of this choice product range was made possible through the creation of an extremely durable ceramic material, Diamatec. Drawing on their two hundred years of ceramic expertise, combined with an unsurpassed quality in craftsmanship, designers at Sottini investigated best practices across the industry. The result of their research and development was a new material, Diamatec, whose exceptional robustness allows designers to achieve the near impossible: Extremely thin, straight edges that are extremely robust and durable—a highly challenging and complex combination. specially refined materials. Thorough research and development was conducted to reach the ideal combination of finely ground alumina— a versatile ceramic material known for its strength— pre-fired clays, and the perfect blend of sodium and potassium. The result: Unprecedented strength and durability, even in the most thin and precise designs. A new glazing system was developed to complement this innovation, ensuring its tight radius was maintained. Diamatec was born. The Ellero range of vessels is supplied in three configurations: a vessel without overflow, which maximises internal volume; and for hotel applications both a vessel with overflow, and a deck and vessel with overflow. Products in the Ellero range are especially well suited for demanding environments, such as hotels, where an effective combination of aesthetics and durability is of paramount importance. The design maximises available vessel space resulting in an enhanced user experience. Previewed at ISH 2017, these stylish vessels will be available in white and five pastel colour tones, inspired by ‘the perfect storm’, a meteorological phenomenon in which warm and cold fronts merge to create beautiful colour tones in greys, blues and dusty pinks. The overflow in these vessels has been thoughtfully integrated into the design. The result is a discreet, slotted design that does not compromise the clean lines and minimalism of the piece. The Ellero vessel range will launch summer 2017. Diamatec was developed using a unique blend of Website: www.sottini.co.uk
