TrendsAt number 6 of Barcelona Avenue in Figueras (Gerona) the new showroom of Oliveras. This company, specializing in construction materials and an official distributor of Bathco, features the work of Bathco Atelier artists to decorate its space.
Oliveras renews its facilities to host visits from builders, architects, interior designers, and clients in general who want to discover the latest materials and new trends.
This is a space composed of corners where different ambiances can be seen. Bathco products are present in two of them. On one hand, the new matte black porcelain collection of sinks and toilets is presented. A selection of the most outstanding sinks from the general catalog and from Materia is also featured. Additionally, all the techniques developed by the artists of Bathco Atelier can be seen.
Matte collection
For the first time, Bathco's matte black porcelain collection is being presented in an exhibition. Oliveras selected two sinks Dinan rectangular and the wall-hung toilet Antequera To create an atmosphere where gray tones and wood are the protagonists.
Sink exhibition
To showcase Bathco's wide range of sink models, wooden panels are proposed. These panels allow for the display of 5 or 6 models each, using wooden wedges with a metal structure that fit into the display's design. For Oliveras, three panels were installed to present the suspended sinks in a way that is easily visible to visitors while minimally interrupting the physical space.
The intervention of the artists from Bathco Atelier
The artists at Bathco Atelier have enhanced various pieces to decorate one of the corners of this showroom, thus showcasing all the possibilities offered by the company’s workshop, which specializes in the bathroom sector.
Painted mural
The Cantabrian company's workshop produces large-format murals that can be installed in any space. For this occasion, the artists poured all their creativity with brushstrokes of ceramic and light pigments on 30×60 cm tiles. With these tiles they formed a large mural piece by piece as if it were a puzzle.
The wall lamp
In the center of the large mural was a ceramic wall lamp also created by Bathco Atelier artists. The team's hands mold the ceramic to create a piece that highlights the value of the handmade.
Three types of exhibition panels
The right side wall displays three small panels where the techniques developed in the workshop can be clearly seen: creation of ceramic pieces, creation of murals, and refurbishment of porcelain sinks.
With ceramic pieces
Artists research, experiment, find inspiration, and begin creating by modeling clay until they bring unique ceramic pieces to life, which will be installed in projects with meticulous interior design. This exhibition showcases a collection of 21 pieces that mimic the shapes of sea anemones or sponges, paying homage to the Girona coastline.
Ceramic tiles
The murals are already an emblem of the workshop. To create them, artists design a new concept, print it on ceramic decals, and the artisans apply them to tiles. After firing, they become timeless pieces. And if the artists want to give a more realistic touch, they pick up their brushes and apply ceramic pigments.
Samples from the Atelier Collection
Another display option is the mini sink sample case, where you can see the different finishes of the Atelier collection. This is one of Bathco's most special collections, consisting of a series of porcelain sinks that become canvases for artists to intervene.
They themselves capture their style through different techniques and bring different materials to life, such as marble, wood, corten steel, etc. The sinks come with a vinyl description detailing the creation process.
A sculptural lamp
Crowning the kitchen area is a rectangular lamp that has been covered with ceramic pieces modeled one by one to form a whole.
The faucets in this showroom are also noteworthy. Some models can be seen there Jee-O, brand of which BHD (Bathco Group) is an official distributor in Spain.
With this showroom, Oliveras aims to show builders, architects, interior designers and decorators the materials and techniques that can be applied to their projects. You can visit it at Avenida Barcelona nº 6, Figueras (Gerona).
