The best, a little better.

A design icon reimagined.

Our design team are famous for pushing the boundaries across new and existing designs; they are constantly looking to improve on what many would agree is design perfection. Their mission to “refine and improve” is front of mind in everything they do, from exploring softer angles to enhancing ergonomics, they create features that not only look beautiful but enrich the bathing experience.

In this anniversary year a project has been underway to make subtle but important improvements to Victoria + Albert’s most popular baths.

At the helm of this project is the Barcelona, a bath that has been much copied but never bettered. The Barcelona now has a reshaped interior, improving comfort without distorting its iconic profile. The rim has been smoothed, making it more tactile and softer to lean on. A modular collection, Barcelona is now available in three sizes to cater for the smallest to the most spacious bathrooms. Read on to discover and learn more about the design process behind the collection.
