Leading bathroom solutions manufacturer Ideal Standard is continuing to push the boundaries of bathroom innovation, with its new Solos range: designed in collaboration with architects Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba…
Ideal Standard, part of the Villeroy & Boch Group, has introduced its new Solos range, as part of its Atelier Collections. These striking new products combine cutting-edge technology with minimalist design, delivering an all-in-one shower that blends intuitive smart controls, multiple spray modes, and integrated ambient lighting that can elevate any hotel bathroom with a spa-like feel.

Designed in collaboration with Palomba Serafini Associati (PS+A), the sleek lines and clean edges echo the complementary ceramics and taps within the range, while the smart features and easy-to-use controls deliver modern convenience and everyday luxury.
The shower and basin mixers are available in chrome and silk black; and the multifunctional Solos Showers are also available in Ideal Standard’s durable PVD finishes – brushed gold, silver storm, and magnetic grey, providing a range of options for hoteliers depending on their desired aesthetic. Glossy white is available for the complementary basins too.
The overhead shower includes an integrated colour‑changing light, allowing guests to create the perfect atmosphere. This feature works seamlessly with smart‑tech systems such as Philips Hue and Amazon Echo, making it easy for guests to personalise their shower with just a tap or voice command. It’s a thoughtful detail that adds an extra layer of indulgence for guests.

Performance is designed to impress hotel guests and simplify upkeep. Both the hand spray and overhead shower offer three indulgent spray modes, Rain, 2nd Skin, Active Massage, plus the innovative SilkRain jet for an ultra-soft, spa-like feel. Switching between modes is effortless with Navigo technology, using a simple push-and-turn movement to control water flow or even combine sprays for a truly luxurious experience. Large, easy-clean nozzles maintain hygiene and help prevent limescale build-up, reducing maintenance time and costs for hotel operators.
Innovation extends beyond showers; Solos basin mixers feature a sequential valve, a single handle controlling water flow and temperature that can be paired with the minimalist Solos basin or Extra Solos basins.

Flexibility is essential in hotels, and Solos delivers just that. The range offers built‑in and wall‑mounted options, head showers in two sizes (with or without integrated lighting), and intuitive controls for effortless operation. For added convenience, the built‑in model includes a remote control.
Behind the elegant design is German‑engineered reliability that helps reduce long‑term maintenance costs. Solos incorporates Ideal Standard’s PreciTherm thermostatic cartridge, ensuring consistent water temperature and preventing harmful fluctuations, minimising service repairs. The Easy‑Box thermostatic valve simplifies installation and guarantees durability, giving hotels peace of mind and lower lifecycle expenses.
