Ideal Standard Launches New Tesi Collection

Ideal Standard, the leading provider of innovative and design-driven bathroom solutions, has blended form with function to create Tesi, a collection of bathroom ceramics, furniture and fittings, which combine perfectly together to create a versatile and affordable bathroom range.  

Created by Ideal Standard designer, Robin Levien, Tesi is a cross category solution, with options which work perfectly in family bathrooms, cloakrooms and en-suites alike. The collection is slender, elegant and agile:  it’s precisely adapted to suit environment and lifestyle needs, performing effortlessly in every role and never failing to achieve perfect balance.   

All of the toilet bowls within the Tesi collection are fitted with AquaBlade flushing technology, offering the best aesthetic on the market with superior hygiene, less splashing and noise reduction. With AquaBlade, the toilet flushes from the top of the bowl, washing the entire inner surface with no tricky to clean overhanging rim, and is unique to Ideal Standard products. 

This ease of maintenance is transferred across all elements of the collection’s design. Hidden fixations on the wall hung bowl and bidet create a clean, luxurious look. Even the toilet seats, a detail which could be easy to overlook, have been crafted with the customer in mind. The soft close option features a quick release take off mechanism, making cleaning hassle free for the end user.  

There are five basin options.  With a range as wide as Tesi, scaling down for the smallest room is no problem.  There are cloakroom options available, the pure and simple design adapting to smaller sizes with ease.  One can choose from 60cm, 55cm, 50cm and 45cm basin options, with a choice of full and semi pedestals, as well as 55cm semi-countertop option for those wanting to combine with marble. A selection of minimal vessels with very thin modern rim - 100cm, 80cm, 60cm – is available to combine with Tesi furniture.

Tesi ceramics integrate seamlessly with the range’s elegant and practical bathroom furniture.  The intelligently conceived Tesi furniture pieces bring smart discreet storage to busy bathrooms.  With a comprehensive range of units, there is a configuration to fit any room layout.  Neutral, yet unquestionably contemporary, the Blue Matt, Brown Matt, Glossy light Grey and Glossy White finishes complement the ceramics’ sleek contours. Ceramic and furniture elements integrate harmoniously for a beautifully streamlined effect.  Soft close doors and drawers bring a satisfying sense of effortlessness to the whole experience.

Tesi mixers express quality, style and versatility in equal measure. Characterised by clean geometric lines and counterbalanced by soft, round forms, they perfectly complement the stylistic qualities of Tesi Ceramics.  There is a wide range to choose from, each having a perfect home in the right bathroom.  There is a variety of basin mixers:  standard, grande, piccolo, high spout, vessel and built-in.  All are wonderfully slim in design and feature a ceramic disc cartridge to control the flow and temperature of water with impeccable precision. They feature 5 lpm flow regulators to ensure water saving, hence reducing the household bills. The shower and bath & shower, exposed and built-in, mixers are packed with Click Technology, giving the option of using the fittings at 50% of their capacity, therefore achieving 50% less water consumption. 

Ideal Standard International designer, Robin Levien, said: “Tesi delivers the perfect combination of functionality, affordability and beautiful aesthetics. The collection uses contemporary shapes to update a design classic, creating a range of products which can be used to build a bathroom that is unique to its owner, while providing the ease of maintenance and timeless appeal that many end users look to obtain from their home décor.”
