More intense structure, dramatic touch: Bette bathtubs now available in matte black

In the fields of fashion, photography, and architecture, monochrome black is often used deliberately as an aesthetic expression of style. Black accentuates structure and silhouette, but also creates clarity with a touch of drama. This same effect also applies to bathroom architecture. Current trends feature matte black elements, such as faucets, sinks, toilets, and even entire bathrooms. Bette now offers a variant of its "Silhouette" bathtub in this color.

The "Silhouette" designation encompasses various variants of freestanding, built-in, and corner bathtubs from the BetteLux and BetteStarlet ranges. With their understated body made of glazed titanium steel and the wide, immaculate surfaces of their apron, these bathtubs create a graphic appearance within the overall bathroom concept. The matte black surface, dubbed "Ebony," further enhances their expressiveness. The bathtubs thus take on a monolithic, almost mystical character.

Staging matte black in the bathroom

Black can't really be called a color. Black is the absence of light. The eye only perceives its reflection. In principle, there are only two possibilities for staging a matte black "Silhouette" bathtub: either within a tone-on-tone ensemble, or in a black and white scenographic ambiance. In a bathroom decorated in black tones, the various elements fade into the background in favor of the interior architecture and a clear structure. The matte black bathtub then integrates into the overall effect. However, if it is staged in a white ambiance, this impression is reversed: the bathroom becomes a theater, in which the bathtub is the actor. 

The many advantages of vitrified titanium steel are fully expressed in matte black. This robust material forgives slight inattention, such as a candle accidentally dripping on the edge of the bathtub. Its glass-hard, non-porous surface does not allow bacteria and dirt to cling. This makes it easy to clean and maintain in everyday use. Since the vitrification is UV-resistant, Bette guarantees the elegance and shine of this matte black color over time.
