Softness in the Right Places

Bathrooms tend to be visually sharp spaces. Tiles, mirrors, hard fixtures, and harsh lighting, it all adds up. So when something soft appears, it does more than just contrast. It gives the room somewhere to land. A place to feel grounded.

The ARC Bathroom range was created with that idea in mind. It doesn’t reimagine the bathroom. It doesn’t try to be clever. It simply introduces softness, in the right places.

The Edge Off the Everyday

Bathrooms are among the most used rooms in the home, but rarely the most considered. They’re spaces built to function. Which means they’re often cold, noisy, and visually cluttered.

The ARC collection doesn’t change the materials of the room. Instead it changes the tone through rounded edges, matte finishes, and proportions that feel calm and deliberate. Whether it’s the canister of the Toilet Brush, the curve of the Soap Dispenser, or the soft outline of the Tissue Box, every piece is designed for order. Not in a styled way, in a visual rhythm kind of way.

And though the difference is small, it’s consistent. And in a space like the bathroom, that’s where it counts.

Form, Finish, Feel

Everything in the ARC range shares the same visual language: gentle forms, tonal colourways, tactile finishes. Each piece is made from rubber-coated poly resin, chosen for its durability in wet zones, yes, but also because it just feels better. It has weight, it’s warm to the touch, and it plays with light in a way that makes surfaces feel less chaotic.

From the Soap Dispenser to the Pedal Bin, this is a collection that’s meant to be used. Picked up. Refilled. Cleaned. It’s not about making bathroom tools disappear, it’s about making them more resolved.

Because when something feels considered in the hand, it reads as calm in the room.

A System of Calm

ARC is built as a system. Not in a modular, you-need-everything kind of way. But in the way it understands how bathrooms function, and how design consistency makes those functions feel easier.

The Tumbler sits neatly beside the Soap Dish. The Tissue Box mirrors the same silhouette as the Round Bin. The Toilet Paper Holder, the Shower Caddy, the Brush, they all carry the same logic. Which means that whether living in a tiny ensuite or a larger shared zone, everything works together with intention.

And that’s what makes the whole space feel more composed.

The Work of the Unseen

ARC avoids being an imposing feature within a room. It’s there to serve the space, not define it. A soap dispenser, a bin, a toothbrush cup, unnoticeable when they’re working well. But when they’re resolved with clarity and care, they make the space feel like it’s working too.

This is softness in the right places. Not for effect, but for balance.
