Renowned for its extensive range of contemporary bathroom fittings and furniture, at this year’s HIX event, Alape will debut its latest innovative basin designs…
Recently acquired by the Roca Group, Alape is continuing to lead the way in contemporary, yet personalised, bathroom design. The brand has a more than 125-year design history characterised by the constant exploration of material and its interaction with people and architecture, and Alape credits its continued development to this dialogue. Continuing to honour its history of innovations, at this year’s HIX event, Alape will unveil a number of new designs that reflect the brand’s philosophy of combining practicality with refined aesthetics.

On Hix’s stand six, attendees can witness Alape’s practical and artistic Tendo basin in matt black. Redefining conventional bathroom design, with its dynamic tilt inspired by the natural gesture of cupping hands to hold water, the Tendo basin is visually captivating. With its inclined design, water will cascade down the Tendo basin’s surface to emulate the motion of a waterfall and bring an element of calm and serenity to any space.
For the designer or hotelier looking for a more brightly contrasting piece, also available to view at HIX in the Tuscany and olive colourways, is Alape’s new Tricolor basin. The Tricolor basin’s interior, exterior and edge colours vary, and the smooth enamel inner and rough, glazed steel outer produce a unique tactile experience for users; combined, the interplay of textures and shades will add visual intrigue to any project.

Minimalism and elegance converge in Alape’s Nib basin. Inspired by the nip of a fountain pen, this basin features a tapered-underside bowl seamlessly connected to its washstand, that creates the illusion that it is a floating form. Its sleek lines and geometric precision encapsulate sophistication, while the Nib’s light, airy presence enhances modern bathrooms with understated elegance.

Embodying Alape’s long history of craftsmanship, the Steel19 basin merges the practicality of the classic bucket sink with modern design — also featuring an enamelled splashback and industrial steel frame.
Showcasing at HIX alongside Laufen, you can visit Alape on stand 6 to explore its innovative designs and discuss the future of bathroom trends.
