Round and square elements can be mixed and matched in this range of bathroom furniture, created by design studio Bernhardt-Vella for Italian brand Ex.T.
Debuting at the Maison&Objet homeware fair in Paris, Nouveau is a collection of basins, wall-mounted cabinets and mirrors that can be combined to create a variety of geometric compositions.

Milanese designers Paola Vella and Ellen Bernhardt designed some elements to be completely rectangular, while others incorporate whole or partial circles. This means they can be put together in both symmetric and asymmetric arrangements.

Ex.T described the collection as "born from a balance of basic and classic shapes such as circles, semi-circles and parallelepipeds, creating a game of volumes in a succession of full and empty spaces". "Freely inspired by early-20th-century art deco, the collection takes refined suggestions from that era and reworks them with the taste and sensitivity of a contemporary perspective," it said.

The design centres around a basin that is rectilinear, save for one rounded corner. It comes in both rectangular and square proportions, with an edge detail that can used as a surface, or as a mount for taps.

The sink can be wall-mounted or placed atop a surface. Cabinets and drawers can be placed below, along with metal frameworks that offer an accent of black, gold or silver.

The range of accompanying mirrors includes one with both straight edges and rounded corners.
