The Forbes & Lomax paintable range of switches and sockets can be painted to blend seamlessly into your walls.
They work beautifully with hand-painted decorative schemes as they can be integrated into the design – as demonstrated by the very talented artist @melissawickhampaints.
For this project, Melissa recreated a small-scale version of a larger mural she had painted in the past.

A tribute to the very essence of Earth, where the rugged gentleness of rocks whispers ancient secrets, the 2025 Collection takes us on a journey exploring the remarkable landscapes of the surface, down to the depths carved by centuries.
The Earth, this silent immensity, tells a story of creative destruction. Beneath the apparent stillness, is revealed its fragile beauty, sculpted by the flowing water from which life is reborn, shaped by the breath of the elements.
In this world of eternal motion, contradictions intertwine: robustness is carved with delicacy. Each grain of sand, each rock is a hymn to vulnerable strength, an ode to the power that bends, a testament to an Earth that is both the master and the apprentice of time.
Lalique presents the memory of Earth with the new collection: TERRAMINERAL.
The caldera, a grand terrestrial formation, bears witness to a volcanic history. With its circular shape, this vast crater becomes a reservoir of beauty and a guardian of age-old secrets.
The Caldera pieces take on these contours, featuring a delicate cracked pattern evoking the perpetual renewal of the earth. Between shadow and light, the contrast of the design is sublimated by repolished satin crystal, Lalique’s signature, which brings a unique realism and aesthetic.
The Canyon crystal, symbolizing the earth, offers a multitude of hues characteristic of natural rocky landscapes. The Persepolis Blue then represents these fantastic Icelandic volcanic springs.
Inspired by this majestic receptacle of Nature, Lalique crystallizes it into vases, bowls, and decanters. A tribute to a mineral Earth that offers us an eternally poetic spectacle.
All in curves, the Baby Elephant inspires tenderness. The rich texture of the satin-finish repolished crystal perfectly replicates the pachyderm’s ritual: mud baths to cool down and protect itself. In the sun, the mud dries and delicately cracks along the elephants wrinkled skin. With this sculpture shaped as a piece of art, Lalique celebrates the most imposing terrestrial animal, a symbol of strength, intelligence, and pure wisdom.
A true representation of the fragile strength of rock, the Magnitude vases bear this name in homage to the Earth’s power. Inspired by the movement of tectonic plates and mineral faults, they capture a raw beauty: a moment of colossal force juxtaposed with the suspended elegance unique to Lalique’s style. Each ray of light piercing the crystal creates an intense contrast. The play of transparency enhances the depth of the design and reveals the material with brilliance.
With poetic flair, Lalique celebrates the energy of the Earth through a gentle oxymoron of creative destruction. The power that bends transforms into harmonious and timeless works of art, exalted by the virtuosity of master glassmakers.
Limited edition of 45 pieces with gold leaf.
For this limited edition of 45 pieces, Lalique has chosen to adorn the Magnitude vase with one of the most precious metals the Earth has to offer: gold. No fewer than 250 gold leaves are delicately applied by the expert hand of a craftsman into the furrows of crystal with mesmerizing transparency.
Lalique thus pushes elegance to its paroxysm, making gold dance with crystal on this precious and resolutely artistic creation.
In the heart of the Jordan Desert, the beauty of earth cracks emerges after gentle rains, revealing the vibrant minerals from the precious Dead Sea. These fissures, illuminated by sunlight, create intricate mosaics that tell stories of nature’s resilience. Like whispers from the ancient city of Petra, the landscape invites us to marvel at nature’s artistry, where each crack is a testament to the enduring spirit of the earth. Encapsulated in the candle, the soft fragrance of sunlight warms the dewy landscape, where salty minerals rise from the earth.
Proud at the mountain’s peak, perched on a rock, it dominates the valley. Its elegant silhouette is highlighted by Lalique crystal. From the tamed rock to its iconic horns worn with panache, the contrast and purity of the reflections fascinate. In its clear version, the vibrance of the light is showcased in the purest manner, while the Persepolis blue bestows it with modernity. King of sheer cliffs and rugged crests, the Ibex lives up to its name, meaning ”rock goat”.

Arthty Ragupathy is a first-time homeowner constantly looking for new ways to add character and charm to her new build home. Though she built a fireplace in her living room upon moving in a few years ago, the unconvincing electric insert was not in keeping with her style. Last year, after spending several months dreaming of a brick fireplace chamber, she and her husband decided to tackle this project.
The main challenge was creating a brick fireplace that fit within the constraints of the modest living room. They chose brick slips for their project due to their slim profile, which allowed for a space-saving design that fit the limited depth of the existing fireplace.
The existing fireplace was only 31 cm deep, making it impractical to use traditional full-sized bricks. They discovered that brick slips, being thinner than full-sized bricks, were easier to install and suited their DIY capabilities. After conducting thorough research, they felt confident in their decision to use brick slips for the transformation. The texture and warmth would provide the aged, rustic feel they were aiming for, with a finish that felt “perfectly imperfect,” adding character and charm to their home which nailed their brief.
Arthty discovered The Brick Tile Company through recommendations from their Instagram followers. After posting a question box asking for suggestions on the best quality brick slips, the majority of responses pointed them to The Brick Tile Company as a reputable small business. Having previously come across the company’s products and saved several of their posts, she felt that this was the right choice for their project.
After evaluating a few samples, they selected Blend 1 for the fireplace chamber. The muted tones of this blend aligned perfectly with their vision of an aged, rustic finish. The support of their Instagram community further reinforced the decision. A poll was posted between the top two blends, with Blend 1 receiving overwhelming support from followers, solidifying the homeowner's choice. Additionally, they chose Cream Mortar as it provided the perfect level of warmth to complement the tones of Blend 1, creating a harmonious and cohesive finish. It was truly the perfect match.
Arthty praised the customer service provided by The Brick Tile Company. From answering all their questions and addressing all concerns, to the collection of informative, step-by-step guides for installation. “They really do everything in their power to set you up for success. As with any new DIY project, I was extremely nervous diving into adding brick to our fireplace. It felt daunting, and out of my comfort zone. With the guidance from the Brick Tile Company, along with the quality of the brick slips, installation was very straight forward, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My husband and I constantly find ourselves sitting in front of the fireplace, admiring the new and improved view. It is, without a doubt, my favourite feature in our home and the engagement on all my fireplace-related content, only reinforces the fact that my followers feel the same!”
The result was a stunning fireplace chamber that exceeded their expectations. The transformation quickly not only became the standout feature of their home for them, but with engaging content shared on their social media, the positive feedback from their followers mirrored this feeling.
To see more of this stunning home, including additional photos and a video of the process, check out their Instagram page.

This season, sofa.com invites designer professionals to explore dining schemes that embrace lightness – both in mood and material. As we move into spring and the Easter period, there’s an opportunity to reimagine the dining room as a place of quiet optimism and crafted charm.
Start by layering tactile textures. The upholstered Anders dining chairs act as a create canvas for either one of sofa.com numerous fabric choices, or a fabric of your own selection. Its gently flared arms and tailored silhouette make it particularly suited to intimate dining arrangements; especially when positioned around a circular table that encourages connection and conversation. The effect is one of considered comfort: elegant, but never overworked.
For larger architectural spaces with vaulted ceilings, introduce weight and contrast through these angular, block-formed chairs. Their solid silhouettes are best showcased when given enough room to standout.
This spring, tactile and tonal palettes continue to lead. Think soft clay or soft-hued walls, calming fabrics and earthy herringbone flooring underfoot. Combining these elements creates a cosy yet fresh aesthetic ideal for the warmer months and neutral enough to seasonally transition with simple décor changes like tablecloths, floral arrangements and artwork.
Finally, tie everything together this spring with a statement dining table. A sculptural stone pedestal table is a focal point, blending classic curves with modern materials, ideal for both casual and formal dining.
Whether hosting informal brunches or long, candlelit suppers, the result is a dining space that feels as thoughtfully composed as it is lived in.

Victoria + Albert’s Lussari collection, launched in 2023, marked a number of ‘firsts’ for Victoria + Albert: the first time the brand has launched a suite of baths with the same shape; its first corner bath; and its first simultaneous UK and European launch. The original collection comprised of a freestanding bath, a corner bath and a back-to-wall, all sharing the same interior profile, together with a matching countertop basin. Lussari was an instant commercial success for Victoria + Albert and is now firmly established amongst its best-selling models.
Two years later Victoria + Albert is extending the range, with two new washbasins, the Lussari 50 and larger Lussari 60. Both are elegant D-shaped basins, designed to match the back-to-wall bath. Like the baths, they have slim walls and a gently curved rim for touch of sophistication. Both are installed against the wall for a watertight seal, with a slim ledge for mounting brassware or arranging bathroom luxuries.
The basins can be ordered with one or three holes for monobloc basin mixers or three-hole models. For those who prefer wall-mounted taps, and would like to keep the ledge clear, they can also be specified without holes. As with the baths, the basins are available in gloss or matt finishes (the velvety matt finish is a no-cost option) and the exterior can be painted in any of 200 RAL colours, to match any bathroom design.
The new Lussari basins should further increase the appeal of the Lussari collection while enhancing Victoria + Albert’s reputation as a design leader in the category.
Victoria + Albert Baths was born out of a passion for luxury bathing. The vision was simple: to set the standard for style, innovation, and performance in bathing products. Renowned for exceptional design and rigorous attention to detail, Victoria + Albert developed a unique material called QUARRYCAST™, made from a blend of Volcanic Limestone™ and high-performance resins. Volcanic Limestone™ is Victoria + Albert’s name for the very special white rock that is perfect for making baths and basins. Volcanic Limestone™ rock is milled and blended with high quality resins to bind the strands of rock into a complex 3D matrix. The finished result is QUARRYCAST™ - a world class stone composite that delivers unrivalled strength, durability, and beauty. Victoria + Albert is part of the House of Rohl family of brands, alongside Perrin & Rowe (kitchen and bathroom brassware and sanitaryware), Shaws (fireclay sinks) and Riobel (kitchen and bathroom brassware).
About Perrin & Rowe
The World's finest range of bathroom and kitchen fittings. Perrin & Rowe is a British-based brassware manufacturer with an unrivaled reputation internationally – bringing together traditional craftsmanship and manufacturing methods with precision engineering. Perrin & Rowe is a distinctive member of the House of Rohl.
Rooted in Mediterranean architectural heritage yet looking to the future, Roca unveils a striking presence at ISH 2025 with a stand that embodies simplicity, warmth, and technology. Designed by the Barcelona-based architecture firm Mesura, the 1,000m² pavilion seamlessly blends material honesty, environmental awareness, and a timeless architectural language, offering visitors an engaging and inspiring experience.
At ISH, Roca presents its latest innovations and new collections, introducing cutting-edge bathroom solutions that emphasize modularity, connectivity, prefabrication, and advanced installation systems. The brand also showcases exciting new collaborations with renowned designers, reinforcing its commitment to design excellence and forward-thinking solutions. With a focus on sustainability and technological integration, Roca’s presence at ISH reaffirms its role as a leader in the evolution of modern bathrooms.
The core message of the entire installation: the bathroom is the most complex room in the house, requiring the most demanding planning and the highest investments. To do justice to its potential and challenges, it must be considered, evaluated and appreciated from different perspectives. A market leader can only approach it from multiple perspectives: design, technologies, processes, usage behaviour, digital integration, sustainability and social relevance are crucial.
In concrete terms, this means that Roca has not only developed from a traditional sanitary ware manufacturer into a producer of complete designer bathrooms, but also offers the technology in front of and in the wall from its own company. Furthermore, solutions for important sub-target groups and typical challenges in connection with the bathroom have been developed in collaboration with designers, architects and scientists. The product systems and new products shown at the ISH are based on this idea.
Barcelona based design studio Altherr Désile Park has redesigned the Meridian bathroom collection. Meridian perfectly illustrates the Mediterranean lifestyle in the bathroom. Meridian is the new edition of a Roca classic: the timeless design plays with the lightness of the arches and curves in which the square is inscribed. It shows the possibilities for combining ceramics, wood and steel in soft forms with a finely defined colour and surface code. It is a balance between warmth, softness and light: the aim is to create a contemporary design context that appeals to the majority in the 170 countries in which Roca is represented.
Munich designer Stefan Diez has developed the Kay faucet collection, which takes its inspiration from the architectural cantilevering and the bollards and cranes of harbour facilities (quay wall). It is no coincidence that the term ‘crane’ is used synonymously with ‘faucet’ in many languages (German, Swedish, Norwegian and Dutch) – ‘water crane’. Diez creates his dynamic forms from strictly geometric blocks, evoking associations with craftsmanship or the natural wear and tear of use. The Kay collection is complete and will be available as a modern design offering for washbasins, bathtubs, bidets and showers.
The stand also gives an impression of the range offered by Roca. One area is dedicated to the Smart Toilets, the brand’s intelligent shower toilets, which feature sophisticated functions. The latest incorporation to the is In-Wash® Vorea, where all the advanced features of a smart toilet are subtly hidden within a familiar, elegant silhouette.
The company's absolute speciality: the in-tank versions, which do not require an external cistern and thus enable completely new bathroom concepts.
Securing the quality of drinking water is a major issue in many countries around the world. Roca has developed a drinking water filter concept that is being used for the first time in a kitchen faucet. This replaces the classic faucet with filtered drinking water from a spout. The big advantage: this makes drinking water directly from the tap enjoyable, a lot of CO2 is saved for avoiding bottle transport and a lot of plastic production for bottles is avoided.
Collaboration with great designers and architects is Roca's trademark: the Ohtake Collection – a remarkable collaboration between Brazilian architect Ruy Ohtake and the Roca Group – dates from 2021. Ruy Ohtake drew inspiration from nature, in particular the shape of an egg, and for the multiple design award-winning collection, he used Roca's ceramic expertise to achieve ultrathin edges for his sculptural designs. Ruy Ohtake passed away in November 2021 at the age of 83 – his son Rodrigo is now showing an extension of the organic collection for Roca, with a bathtub and further washbasins.
The Avant toilet combines modern design with innovative technology and optimises the space in every bathroom. Thanks to its integrated cistern, Avant saves up to 20 cm compared to conventional toilets with a front wall installation. Avant is available in two versions: as a wall-hung or floor-standing model, each in an electric and a non-electric version. The electric Avant-E model ensures a reliable flush even at lower water pressures. Thanks to Roca Rimless Vortex technology, Avant offers a splash-free, efficient flush, while the Supraglaze coating makes cleaning easier. With a dual-flush option (4.5 l/3 l) and a soft-close seat, Avant sets new standards in comfort and hygiene.
Roca is world-renowned as a complete bathroom specialist – showers and faucets are part of every bathroom. Roca has dedicated two separate areas to these indispensable technical water faucets, where the brand's design and sustainability standards are also celebrated. Key points are faucets that deliver cold water when the valve is opened and not pre-mixed water as is usually the case with single-lever mixers. This saves a lot of energy with hot water if the user does not consciously request hot water.
Roca Connect, Roca Installation Systems (RIS) and Roca Prefab are the big technology topics of this exhibition stand. They are addressed to architects, planners and project operators. Roca Connect, is a networking service between the IoT and digital building management technology that ensures the convenient, efficient and secure management of sanitary areas in both private and public properties.
The range of Roca Installations Systems extends from individually manufactured sanitary walls and shafts to finished bathrooms. Roca operates its own plants in Central Europe, which plan installation technology to size, prefabricate it industrially and use sophisticated logistics to ensure that these modules are delivered to construction sites just in time. Behind these concepts is a task for society as a whole: living space is urgently needed and bathroom construction is one of the bottlenecks in residential construction. The concepts presented here show ways to solve the problem.
Roca is also showing the latest version of the luxury bathroom concept Armani by Roca. This collaboration between the international bathroom specialist and the Italian luxury brand has been and continues to be implemented in many luxury accommodation options in hotels, condominiums and temporary living spaces in the best locations around the world.
About Roca London Gallery
Roca have more than 100 years experience of designing bathroom products and kitchen solutions with the aim of increasing peoples quality of life through continuous innovation in the production of sanitary ceramics.
Tailored solutions starting at one piece: Dornbracht Atelier stands for individuality with outstanding manufacturing quality. The new business segment from the German fittings manufacturer offers architects and designers maximum creative freedom to express their own style – and to create unique, unmistakable solutions.
With Dornbracht Atelier, the manufacturer opens access to its intangible heritage for all creative people, which has been enriched through knowledge, experience, and craftsmanship over the last 75 years. This expertise forms the basis for Dornbracht Atelier, which realises personal wishes and visions with style and reliability.
This opens a spectrum of almost limitless possibilities and an inexhaustible platform of experimentation for innovations, which the manufacturer realises with its own department, and in collaboration with competent cooperation partners: The supreme discipline here is the development and realisation of truly unique items. Working with new and unusual materials, finishes, production techniques, and shapes also allows customised fittings and handles to be created. Customers can, for example, incorporate their own material preferences and thus take up and continue the design concept in the bathroom. Unique engravings and customised dimensions complete the range.
One fitting in particular illustrates the possibilities of Dornbracht Atelier in an impressive way: Inspired by a swan elegantly spreading its wings, it exemplifies the high degree of individualisation that Dornbracht Atelier offers. Harmonious proportions, top-quality workmanship, precision, and attention to detail play a decisive role.
Dornbracht showcases several examples of how a wide variety of materials can be used to create spectacular individual pieces. These include a black and white version of Vaia with a shell finish: the contemporary interpretation of the traditional chequerboard pattern requires the highest level of craftsmanship, and creates a dynamic, unconventional look. Tara is similarly original with its velvet and gold body. The elegant contrast between matte and polished surfaces creates a strong visual appeal and a high level of sensory ambivalence. CYO, framed in leather, is equally inspiring: skilfully crafted, the fitting combines opulence and sophistication, with the material symbolising a sense of style and timeless luxury. For Vaia, with a finish made from recycled eggshells, mosaics are put together according to the customer’s wishes – creating a direct connection to nature.

Emma Hopkins, Commercial Marketing Manager at Amtico, has given her insights into the industry.
Amtico is a British luxury vinyl tile (LVT) manufacturer with over 60 years of expertise in designing and creating premium flooring solutions. For over 60 years, Amtico has been at the forefront of luxury vinyl tile (LVT) innovation, designing and manufacturing premium flooring solutions for commercial spaces. With a strong heritage in British manufacturing, we specialise in creating high-quality, design-led flooring that enhances interiors across hospitality, workplace, education, healthcare, and commercial residential sectors. Our expertise in bespoke design, precision cutting and laying patterns allows designers to craft genuinely unique spaces backed by technical support, sustainability commitments, and a dedicated design team.
Amtico began its journey in Coventry more than 60 years ago as a pioneering British manufacturer dedicated to creating high-quality flooring. Over the decades, our brand has evolved, blending advanced manufacturing techniques with an uncompromising commitment to design. We push boundaries and develop our collections with new designs, laying patterns and added benefits that shape and inspire commercial interiors. Today, we remain proud to be a British manufacturer with a longstanding history that reflects our expertise and dependability.
At Amtico, we believe that flooring is the canvas for any inspiring design – after all, every floor has a story. We empower designers with various tools – from our CAD design service to the online room visualiser and technical support – that help bring creative visions to life. Our LVT products give designers the freedom to shape projects with creativity and enthusiasm, whether through striking laying patterns, intricate bespoke designs or our wide choice of Wood, Stone and Abstract decors. We work closely with interior designers to curate environments that balance aesthetics, function and durability, offering a unique blend of design freedom, technical support, and a wide range of high-quality products.
Flooring sets the tone for both the look and functionality of a space. Our expertise in LVT allows us to offer solutions that not only elevate interior schemes but also address key challenges in commercial environments – from hygiene and maintenance with our antimicrobial protection to acoustics and safety with special backing layers and enhanced slip resistance. We work hand in hand with designers, offering comprehensive, tailored support to ensure that every project balances style with robust performance in any environment.
We see every project as a collaboration. Our design and support teams work closely with interior designers to unlock creative possibilities – whether it’s exploring our extensive LVT collections, like Signature and Spacia, or developing bespoke flooring solutions tailored to unique briefs, including custom laying patterns, logos and brand colours. Designers can access our room visualiser tool anytime to experiment with different styles and product combinations in their own space. At the same time, our dedicated specification and technical support teams ensure projects run smoothly from concept to installation. We also offer CPDs and ‘lunch and learns’ and host events that provide insights into not just flooring trends and innovations but also the wider industry, supporting designers at every stage of their journey and making them feel valued and supported.
2024 was a landmark year for Amtico as we celebrated our 60th anniversary – six decades of pushing the boundaries of flooring design and craftsmanship. We also refreshed the Amtico Form collection, which brings authentic wood aesthetics to commercial spaces while offering more manageable maintenance and installation than natural materials. Looking ahead, we remain committed to sustainability, ensuring our products keep inspiring and supporting the evolving needs of the industry.
Design is more human-centric, with a growing focus on creating inclusive, engaging environments. Interior designers are considering the sensory experience of a space – from textures that encourage interaction to colour choices that influence mood. Neurodiversity also shapes design thinking, with more emphasis on flexible, adaptable spaces that cater to a range of needs. The way we design floors plays a role in all of this, whether through thoughtful zoning, tactile finishes or the calming effect of natural-inspired materials.
How we experience spaces is changing, and designers are responding by prioritising wellbeing, sustainability and adaptability. We expect to see an even greater focus on biophilic elements, materiality and multi-sensory design, ensuring spaces feel welcoming and safe. Sustainability is also becoming more transparent, and designers are looking for materials with strong environmental credentials to tell a positive, authentic story. Flooring will continue to be a crucial part of this conversation, helping to define spaces that support both people and the planet.
There’s always something exciting happening at Amtico! We’re continually developing new products, researching trends and refining our design approach. While we can’t reveal too much just yet, we have some exciting product launches in the works – and you might just spot us at a key industry event later this year. Watch this space!
Joining SBID is an exciting opportunity for us to engage with the wider design community and contribute to conversations shaping the future of interiors. It’s important for us to be part of a network that values innovation and expertise, and we look forward to collaborating with members to inspire and support great design. Ultimately, being part of SBID means we are recognised as a partner who genuinely cares about creating beautiful, functional spaces that truly work for people. Being an accredited partner also allows us to connect with designers who may not yet be familiar with the creative potential of LVT flooring.
