Creating Boudoir elegance in the bathroom

(27/01/2012)

Introducing to Elysée - the new addition to the Masterpiece collection from bath and bathroom furniture manufacturer Burgbad

There are some who say the Boudoir was born at the end of the 19th Century with the emergence of The Lady's Dressing Room - beauty secrets were collected and shared, and more than a hundred years later, the bathroom remains the essential sanctuary of the home.

Elysée, the new addition to Burgbad's Masterpiece Collection, makes bathroom and bedroom a combination of both a luxurious, lady-like boudoir with the kind of splendour that is difficult to find. Gleaming handles sparkle like diamonds and simultaneously tone down the rigour of the piano-lacquered black fronts. White and champagne-coloured surfaces glisten when exposed to light.

Classic furniture types are undergoing a renaissance. Dressing tables, cabinets and ladies' or men's drawers have high quality surfaces of gold leaf and glass fronts with inlaid fabric with three-dimensional look and decorated with either ornaments or in gold. The decor flatters the senses and inspires an ambiance of lavish opulence. The Elysée range is almost entirely handcrafted.

Distinctive washbasins in six designs have a filigree bowl made of mineral material slightly offset from the vanity unit and with a velvety surface to touch. The furnishings are decorative pieces for the whole house and have a delicate, baroque style. From vanity units to tall cupboards and netsuke scale trinket cases.

The inner and outer refined covered tall cupboard, vanity unit and sideboard selection is complemented by mirrors with light and full-length mirror with a wide, gold-leaf frame or lacquered in the colours of the furniture and all-round LED lighting. The illuminated mirrors also have a light strip on their underside for indirect lighting of the washbasin. A matching upholstered stool is the final touch.

The motto for the new Elysée range from Burgbad is unrestrained elegance: Delicate, light and feminine washbasins and fine piano-lacquered surfaces are created. Each one has up to five lacquered layers applied, dried, polished and a further lacquer coating is applied. Thi
