Talea
Bathroom Collection
Design
Silvana Angeletti e Daniele Ruzza
Talea is a collection rooted in the concept of care. Its name recalls the ancient gesture of propagation: a simple act that connects memory and future, continuity and transformation. In this project, care becomes a design principle guiding every formal choice. The washbasin appears to blossom outward, with a solid, material volume that conveys strength and presence.

The pronounced rim, projecting from the base, invites touch and defines a clear boundary between exterior and interior. The element of surprise emerges in use: the wide and deep basin remains almost invisible until viewed from above.
The washbasin interacts with a storage unit of strong character, conceived to furnish the bathroom with the same dignity as other living spaces. The system is also available in a version with shelves, offering a more open and versatile solution. Its generous depth, designed to ensure comfort and functionality thanks to the option of countertop and semi-recessed installation, as well as pairing with its dedicated furniture unit, integrates into a compact and sculptural outer form. The ensemble creates a coherent environment in which the bathroom becomes a room to inhabit. Completing the collection, a round mirrored cabinet introduces a soft and enveloping note, evoking a 1960s aesthetic reinterpreted in a contemporary key. Talea interprets wellbeing as a daily experience, expressed through measured proportions, attention to detail and refined material quality.
