Feelings were the driving force behind the design of VitrAs new Pillet series. This series by French designer Christophe Pillet is characterized by simplicity and functionality. The experience Pillet brings to the room awakens the senses. The infinite technology used in the series creates the precise and subtle lines that the new architectural styles demand.

Infinite The possibilities of infinite technology are totally changing the appearance of sinks. Curvy turns are disappearing, lines are becoming more defined and edges are thinner. The infinite material makes cleaning, maintenance and repairs simple and easy. Bathroom sinks are whitened with a special process so that they stay as white and shiny as they were when they were brand new. With the color diversity made possible by the new materials, it is appealing to those who want to follow current trends in the bathroom and achieve a unique look. Not only does it give users a warm and delightful tactile experience, but it also offers various sizes. The 80-centimeter bowl sinks put an end to the problem of splashing water, but there are also 40centimeter sinks for more confined spaces. Elimination of the water overflow hole gives the bathroom an integrated, hygienic look.

The refined edges of the cast mineral and ceramic sinks are the perfect complement to the gray and walnut bathroom furniture. Specially manufactured thin wooden panels complement the sink cabinets with aesthetic accents while drawers provide space for small personal effects. Vanity sinks organize the bathroom and make life easier with generous storage space divided into compartments.

Pillet adds flair to the room with plain and sliding mirrors that reflect his stylish approach, all accented with LED lighting, which makes it very accessible. The mirrors bottom shelf creates space for items that need to be within reach. The delicate silhouette of the sink faucets rounds out the Pillet series; they are available with single and double control levers. In addition to the double-lever bathroom sink faucet, the series also has embedded bathroom sinks and faucets as well as bathtub faucets.
