It is said that Cleopatra wore malachite as a protective stone, and that medieval artisans ground lapis lazuli to obtain the most precious blue pigment of the time. That millennial charm today enters the contemporary bathroom. In fact, among the <strong>Frattini collections<\/strong>, <strong>Vita M Style<\/strong> and <strong>Pepe M Style<\/strong> stand out, two variants with natural stone handles: a material and symbolic heritage transformed into a gesture of everyday design.<\/p>\n<p>Both collections bear the signature of architect Paolo Bertarelli, interpreter of a design that combines rigour and formal sensitivity. Vita M Style, with its rectangular handles, expresses an elegant and square character, perfect for those looking for balance and linearity. Pepe M Style, on the other hand, focuses on essentiality and formal rigour, entrusting cylindrical handles with a sober and contemporary aesthetic. In both series, the language translates into coordinated versions for washbasins, bidets and showers, offering the designer a coherent and complete set.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The stone colours as the common thread of the contemporary bathroom<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In contemporary interior design, colour becomes a strategy of storytelling and balance. Green, blue, white and black \u2013 the stones&#8217; colours chosen for Vita and Pepe M Style \u2013 trace the common thread of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staffedit.it\/en\/tag\/bathroom-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bathroom<\/a> speaking the language of harmony. Each shade guides material and compositional choices: malachite green introduces a natural presence that binds to neutral stoneware and concrete surfaces; the intense blue of lapis lazuli builds deep and refined atmospheres in dialogue with light woods and bright coverings; statuary white amplifies the light and conveys essentiality together with light stone floors or minimalist resins; Portoro black, with its golden veins, becomes the focal point of elegant scenography in resonance with metallic details and dark surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Integrating taps with natural stone, coverings, and accessories means composing a coherent environment in which the detail of the handle stands out as a central element. The bathroom thus becomes a material and chromatic landscape where every choice contributes to defining a sophisticated and coherent living experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frattini.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Frattini<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Malachite, lapis lazuli, statuary marble and Portoro black: style symbols for the Vita and Pepe collections in the M Style variants of the Frattini collections &nbsp; Natural stones have accompanied the history of architecture and art in every era: from Egyptian malachite amulets to Renaissance lapislazuli powder coloured frescoes, up to Michelangelo&#8217;s sculptures carved in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":38963,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[1737,1742],"class_list":["post-38965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-compoarredo-en","tag-coatings-surfaces","tag-bathroom-furniture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
