Tubes Scaletta An Award Winning Towel Warmer on Display in Beverly Hills

A towel warmer can be part of the bathroom’s design from the start. Scaletta by Tubes Radiatori brings a familiar ladder silhouette into the space, combining a place for towels with electric warmth and an unmistakable visual presence.

Designed by Elisa Giovannoni and introduced in 2014, Scaletta is a piece to consider when you want a practical bathroom accessory with the character of a furnishing. Its open form feels particularly at home alongside carefully selected stone, tile and bathroom fittings.

At Specialty Hardware + Plumbing, we have Scaletta in matte black on display in our Beverly Hills showroom. Visit us to explore its proportions and finish in person, or work with our team remotely to select the appropriate model for your project.

A ladder design with international recognition

Made from aluminum, Scaletta takes its identity from the simple form of a ladder. The design is immediately recognizable, with rails and rungs that give it a different presence from a conventional towel bar.

Its design credentials include the Good Design Award 2015, a German Design Award 2015 in the Bath and Wellness category, and recognition as an Interior Design Best of Year 2015 Honoree. Scaletta also received an Honourable Mention at the XXIV Compasso d’Oro ADI.

These distinctions make it an interesting choice for design-focused interiors, but the decision is also personal: how the piece looks against your wall, where towels will hang and how it fits into your daily routine.

UL certified for the United States and Canada

Tubes identifies Scaletta as UL certified in compliance with U.S. and Canadian safety requirements. For North American projects, start with the dedicated US/Canada specification rather than the international version.

The North American data sheet lists two wall-mounted options: Scaletta 140 with five rungs and Scaletta 185 with seven rungs. Both are specified at 110 volts and 100 watts.

Our team can help you review the appropriate model, dimensions and documentation before ordering. This is especially useful when coordinating an imported design product with a U.S. installation.

Straightforward plug-in installation

Scaletta is an electric plug-in towel warmer, so it does not need a connection to a hydronic heating system or a plumbing supply. That makes it worth exploring for an existing bathroom as well as a new build.

For the wall-mounted version, the installation manual shows wall anchors and spacers used to secure the unit, followed by connection to a power outlet. Installation planning therefore centers on the mounting surface, the position of a suitable outlet and the location of the towel warmer within the room.

Share your proposed location with us early. We can help you review the manufacturer’s instructions with your installer so the electrical connection and mounting details are considered before finishes are completed.

Matte black and a wider finish palette

Our matte black showroom display offers a useful starting point for anyone considering darker bathroom accents. It can create a defined outline against a pale wall or become part of a deeper, layered palette alongside darker tile and fittings.

The North American finish selection includes Matt Jet Black, Matt White, Glossy Pure White, White Matt Cream, White Glossy Cream, Matt Stone Gray, Glossy Stone Gray, Matt Terra Brown, Matt Ruby Red and Wrinkled Copper Brown. Additional colors from the Tubes color chart are available on request.

That range allows Scaletta to act as a quiet supporting detail or a more expressive accent. Bring your wall, floor and hardware samples to a consultation so you can compare the proposed finish within the full bathroom palette.

Order through an authorized U.S. Tubes distributor

Specialty Hardware + Plumbing is an authorized U.S. distributor of Tubes Radiatori, providing technical expertise and product support for homeowners, architects, designers and installation teams.

CEA ATOLL and ECO DRINKING TAP WATER Bring Italian Design to the Kitchen

A beautifully planned kitchen should be as satisfying to use as it is to look at. With the new ATOLL kitchen island and ECO-DRINKING TAP WATER faucet range, CEA Design brings its approach to materials, form and everyday functionality into a broader kitchen setting.

For homeowners, architects and interior designers exploring luxury Italian kitchen design, these collections offer an opportunity to consider the island and water system together from the beginning.

Meet ATOLL by MAO Architects

Designed by MAO Architects, ATOLL is a polished steel kitchen island defined by a soft, continuous curve. Its name and shape draw on the natural boundary between land and water found in an atoll.

The design combines polished steel, wood and natural stone. Reflective metal brings light into the composition, while the other materials add warmth and visual depth. In an open kitchen, we see that balance as an appealing way to give the island a sculptural presence within the living space.

CEA’s current ATOLL offerings include modular AISI 316L stainless steel configurations. Selecting an island starts with understanding its relationship to the room: the circulation around it, the surrounding cabinetry and the activities it will support. Bring your floor plan to the conversation early so the design can develop around those practical needs.

About MAO Architects

ATOLL was designed by MAO Architects—Milanese Architects Office—the Italian architecture and interior design studio founded by Erich Milanese. Working across residential, hospitality and retail projects, the studio emphasizes the relationship between architecture, materials and the surrounding landscape. Its portfolio includes CEA’s Moscow showroom and Borgo Taurino, a historic rural property transformed into a hospitality retreat in Italy’s Valdobbiadene region. That sensitivity to setting carries into ATOLL, whose continuous curve takes inspiration from the meeting of land and water, bringing an architectural perspective to the kitchen island.

A natural setting for CEA kitchen faucets

The connection between ATOLL and CEA’s water systems is part of the design concept itself. CEA developed the island to provide a setting consistent with its kitchen tapware and the microfiltration functions introduced in its newer faucets.

That makes ATOLL and ECO-DRINKING TAP WATER a compelling shared story: the island shapes the kitchen’s central workspace, while the tap system addresses how water is used throughout the day. For a project, the exact island, faucet and equipment combination should be reviewed together.

ECO DRINKING TAP WATER adds everyday convenience

CEA ECO-DRINKING TAP WATER, also known as ETW, is a range of multifunction kitchen taps crafted from AISI 316L stainless steel. Depending on the selected faucet and compatible equipment, available functions include filtered still water, chilled sparkling water, boiling water and mixed-temperature water.

Think about the routines you want your kitchen to support. Filling a reusable bottle, preparing tea and serving sparkling water each suggest different priorities. Defining those priorities first helps guide the selection of the appropriate tap and equipment package.

CEA offers single-hole and multi-hole arrangements across the range, with satin, polished and selected special finishes. Review the specific model’s options alongside the island materials and surrounding kitchen finishes.

Plan the island and water system together

When considering ATOLL with an ETW system, review the full proposed specification before ordering. Your design and installation teams should coordinate the sink and tap positions, equipment space, electrical and plumbing connections, and access for maintenance.

Our team can help you explore the selections and review current U.S. project options. Confirming the exact package early gives everyone a clearer basis for planning the installation and discussing pricing.

Explore CEA kitchen design with Specialty Hardware + Plumbing

Specialty Hardware + Plumbing is a trusted U.S. distributor of CEA Design, with the largest CEA display on the West Coast. Our Beverly Hills showroom is a resource for homeowners and design professionals seeking distinctive kitchen and bath products with knowledgeable project support.

Whether you are drawn to ATOLL’s curved form or the daily convenience of ECO-DRINKING TAP WATER, we can help you take the next step.

Designing a Bathroom with CEA AYLA by Yabu Pushelberg

For a bathroom defined by proportion and material, CEA AYLA faucets offers a strong architectural starting point. Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the collection takes inspiration from the I-beam and translates that structural form into bathroom fittings with beveled edges and a remarkably thin spout.

The next question is how to bring AYLA into your own project. At Specialty Hardware + Plumbing, we help clients move from an initial design preference to a coordinated fixture selection.

Start with the basin and faucet together

Choose the faucet configuration while you are developing the vanity design. AYLA includes wall-mounted and deck-mounted basin options, giving you several ways to relate the fittings to the counter and backsplash.

A wall-mounted arrangement can leave more of the counter surface open. A deck-mounted arrangement places the faucet within the vanity composition. In either case, review the spout reach and outlet position against the actual basin dimensions before finalizing the selection.

For a double vanity, consider the spacing of the mirrors, basins and fittings as one composition. These relationships will influence how the finished room feels as much as the individual pieces.

Plan the shower and bath at the same time

AYLA extends beyond the washbasin, with shower and bathtub configurations that allow the design language to continue across the room. Identify the outlets and controls you want before your installer begins rough-in work.

Bring that list to your consultation along with the floor plan. It helps us discuss the appropriate components and gives your design and installation teams a clearer basis for coordination.

Give the details room to work

AYLA’s geometry lends itself to a restrained material palette. Consider how the fixture sits against the scale of the tile, the edge of the countertop and the profile of the mirror. A full-size sample board is useful for checking those relationships before materials are ordered.

For more about the collection’s origins, read our introduction to AYLA and Yabu Pushelberg.

Plan your CEA bathroom with us

As a trusted U.S. CEA distributor with the largest CEA display on the West Coast, Specialty Hardware + Plumbing offers a place to explore the brand and discuss your project in detail.

Visit our Beverly Hills showroom or call (310) 659-9351 for an AYLA consultation and project quote. Share your basin specifications, plans and preferred finish direction to get started.

Discover Ella and Ara by Inbani

A bathroom becomes more personal when its furniture, surfaces and fittings are considered together. Inbani’s new Ella and Ara collections offer two approaches to that process, with distinctive forms and choices that allow the design to develop around your space.

Both collections are designed by Studiopepe. Ella reinterprets the classic stone washbasin through a contemporary vanity composition, while Ara looks to ancient water features for inspiration. Together, they create an opportunity to explore material, color and the relationship between individual pieces throughout the bathroom.

At Inbani Beverly Hills, we are dedicated to helping homeowners, architects and interior designers explore the brand and plan their selections.

Ella brings the vanity into focus

Ella is a collection to consider when the washbasin and surrounding furniture will establish the character of the room. Its integrated basin worktops can give the vanity a strong architectural presence, balanced by wall-mounted storage below.

The range includes wall-mounted units with one, two or three drawers, worktops with single or double integrated basins, coordinating simple tops and mirrors with LED options. The different layouts allow you to consider a more compact composition or a wider vanity for a shared bathroom.

For the furniture, Inbani lists matt and glossy lacquer alongside S3 Wild Oak finishes. The integrated basin worktops are offered in marbles including Black Marquina, White Carrara, Pietra Grey, Beige, Green Indalo, Rosso Lepanto and Emperador. Inbani also presents Ella settings using solid surface and UHS color-coated worktops; our team can help confirm those options for the exact configuration you choose.

The design decision is how those elements will work together. You might use wood to bring warmth beneath a stone worktop, or develop a color palette around lacquered furniture. Bring your tile and flooring samples to the selection process so the vanity feels connected to the whole room.

Ara offers a broader bathroom collection

Ara’s sculptural forms bring attention to the basin and bath as objects within the space. Its reference to ancient water features makes it an appealing starting point for a bathroom where texture and material are central to the design.

The collection encompasses Ara90 and Ara120 top-mounted washbasins, supporting legs and basin trays, wall-mounted drawer units, mirrors, a freestanding bathtub, benches and stools. Selected components also have carved versions, introducing another level of surface detail.

This breadth allows you to develop a relationship between the vanity area, bathing area and smaller furnishings. A bench or stool can carry part of the material palette across the room without requiring every surface to match.

Materials and finishes for Ara

Ara’s choices vary by component. The basin range lists Topsolid and UHS color-coating options. The bath is offered in Topsolid and UHS finishes, as well as natural stone versions that include marble and bush-hammered limestone.

Furniture choices include matt lacquer and Wild Oak, with carved options on selected pieces. Wood and stone also appear among the support and furnishing options. That gives you several ways to introduce contrast: a colored basin above wood furniture, for example, or a textured stone bath alongside smoother surfaces.

Topsolid is a composite of natural mineral fillers and polyester resin. UHS is a color coating, available in matt and glossy finishes, rather than a separate stone material. Understanding that distinction helps you compare the appearance and care requirements of the proposed products.

Can Ella and Ara be customized

Both collections offer ways to personalize a composition through the available sizes, layouts, colors and materials. Ella’s drawer configurations and single or double basin arrangements are particularly useful when planning storage and shared use. Ara allows you to explore combinations of basins, supports, furniture and accessories.

Inbani also describes custom-made furniture as part of its manufacturing capabilities. If your project needs a nonstandard dimension or a special detail, share that requirement with us early so we can check what the factory can produce for the selected item. The available options and technical limits differ from one product to another.

Plan your bathroom with Inbani Beverly Hills

Our team can help you compare Ella and Ara, review materials and coordinate selections with your plans. Start with the room dimensions, your storage needs and the finishes you are considering; those details give us a practical basis for discussing options and pricing.

Visit Inbani Beverly Hills at 8800 Charleville Boulevard, Beverly Hills, CA 90211, or call (310) 659-9351 to arrange a consultation.

New from John Pawson for COCOON Solid Surface Baths & Kitchen Taps

John Pawson’s work brings attention to the details that shape a room: proportion, light, material and the objects we use every day. His collection for COCOON carries that approach into the kitchen and bathroom, and remains one of the most popular in the COCOON series.
The latest additions give homeowners and design professionals more ways to bring Pawson’s designs into a project. His signature JP Bath is now available in solid surface, while the new JP 09.2 and JP 09.3 kitchen mixers extend the collection’s distinctive simplicity to the kitchen sink.

At Specialty Hardware + Plumbing and COCOON Beverly Hills, we help you explore those choices, compare finishes and develop a specification around your home, using the John Pawson collection by COCOON.

The JP Bath in a new material

Originally offered in natural stone, the JP Bath is an established John Pawson design. The new solid surface version preserves its sculptural shape while offering a lighter, more accessible alternative at a lower price point than the stone bath.

That opens up a useful conversation for anyone who has admired the original. You can now consider Pawson’s bath in relation to a different budget, material palette and installation plan.

COCOON lists the solid surface bath at approximately 190 kg, or 419 lb, compared with 850 kg, or 1,874 lb, for the natural stone version. Both are listed at 1825 × 761 × 600 mm—approximately 71.9 × 30 × 23.6 inches. The reduction in empty weight can make a meaningful difference to handling and project planning; the filled bath and installation still need to be assessed by your project team.

What is Cristalplant solid surface

Cristalplant® is an engineered solid surface made primarily from mineral fillers bound with resin. Its manufacturer describes a formulation using high-purity aluminum trihydrate and plant-derived resins, with a soft-touch feel reminiscent of stone.

For a freestanding bathtub, solid surface allows a smooth, continuous form that emphasizes the designer’s proportions. COCOON describes the JP Bath material as nonporous, with consistent color throughout its thickness and a surface that allows minor marks to be restored.

Those qualities make it worth considering for a bathroom that will be used every day. Follow the care instructions for the selected finish, and ask our team about the appropriate cleaning and repair methods. Cristalplant’s general care guidance recommends avoiding harsh solvents and aggressive chemicals.

Eight finishes for the JP Bath Solid Surface

The bath is offered in Chalk, Coal, Anthracite, Pebble, Dust, Earth, North and Shell, with a matching drain in the same material and finish.

That range gives you more flexibility when developing the bathroom’s palette. Consider whether you want the bath to sit quietly alongside the surrounding surfaces or provide a stronger visual anchor. Review a physical sample beside your floor, wall and vanity materials to see how the combination responds to the room’s light.

Our team can help you compare the options and request pricing for your preferred selection.

 

Introducing the JP 09.2 and JP 09.3 kitchen mixers

The new John Pawson kitchen faucets bring the same attention to form into a hardworking part of the home. Their curved spouts create a clear, restrained silhouette above the sink, particularly appealing when the faucet is visible from an adjoining living or dining space.

COCOON’s JP09 range is crafted from AISI 316L marine-grade stainless steel and offers 213 mm and 280 mm spout projections. Choosing the appropriate reach is an important part of matching the faucet to your sink and countertop layout.

The range comes in three finishes:

  • Brushed Inox for the appearance of brushed stainless steel.
  • Dark Grey for a deeper tone within the material palette.
  • JP Brushed Gold for a warmer metallic accent.

Bring your sink specifications and counter plan to your consultation. We can help you review the appropriate model and dimensions before you finalize the selection.

Pair the kitchen mixer with the JP16 cold water tap

The JP16 deck-mounted cold water tap is a natural companion to the new kitchen mixers. Its coordinating form and finish choices help you plan a separate cold-water outlet without introducing a competing design at the sink.

Like the mixers, the JP16 is made from AISI 316L stainless steel and is available in Brushed Inox, Dark Grey and Brushed Gold. COCOON has also shown the JP 09.2 and JP16 together in its own kitchen imagery.

If your project calls for filtered drinking water, discuss the proposed filtration equipment and connection requirements with our team before specifying the tap. The JP16 is a cold water tap; any water treatment depends on a separately selected, compatible system.

Explore John Pawson at COCOON Beverly Hills

A photograph can introduce a design. A showroom conversation helps you understand how it will fit your project—from the relationship between a bath and its fittings to the finish of a kitchen mixer beside your stone sample.

As a U.S. dealer and distributor for COCOON, Specialty Hardware + Plumbing helps homeowners, architects and interior designers explore the collection, review project requirements and request pricing.

Visit COCOON Beverly Hills at 205 South Robertson Boulevard, Beverly Hills, CA 90211, or call (310) 935-3229 to arrange a showroom or virtual consultation.

FORMANI ELEEZ by Zaha Hadid Design: Sculptural Door Hardware

Door hardware is an architectural detail we experience through touch every day. With ELEEZ, Zaha Hadid Design and FORMANI give that familiar interaction a distinctive sculptural form.

For homeowners, architects and interior designers looking for luxury door hardware, ELEEZ offers an expressive finishing detail. Its flowing geometry creates visual interest while keeping the experience of using the handle central to the design.

At Specialty Hardware + Plumbing, we help clients explore FORMANI collections, compare finishes and select hardware for their projects through our Beverly Hills showroom.  >>Request a free sample of Formani ELEEZ<<

The Design Behind ELEEZ

ELEEZ takes inspiration from the spiraling lines of a helix. A curved detail carved into the handle’s cylindrical surface introduces movement, creating changing highlights and shadows as light travels across it.

Solid Set Internal Lift-Up Sliding Door Handle

The result is a handle with a substantial form and an inviting grip. On a simple door, that sculptural detail can become a focal point. Within a more expressive interior, it offers another opportunity to connect shape, texture and material.

When selecting a lever, consider its proportions against the door and how it feels in your hand. Those everyday qualities deserve as much attention as the finish.

Six Finishes for Different Interior Palettes

FORMANI offers ELEEZ in six finishes:

  • Satin stainless steel
  • Bronze
  • PVD satin black
  • PVD satin gold
  • PVD light bronze
  • PVD champagne

These choices allow you to explore different relationships with your doors, cabinetry and lighting. A darker finish can create definition against a pale door, while a warmer metallic tone can complement wood and natural stone.

Compare physical finish samples alongside your other materials before making a final selection. Similar finish names across different manufacturers can have noticeably different tones.

A Coordinated Architectural Hardware Collection

ELEEZ extends beyond the door lever, with a collection encompassing door fittings, window fittings, furniture fittings and accessories.

That broader approach helps designers carry a consistent visual language through a home. Review the available pieces early, including the functions and finishes required for each location, so the hardware specification develops alongside the interior design.

Our team can help you review the appropriate components and their compatibility with your doors and locking systems.

The Zaha Hadid Design Connection

Zaha Hadid’s architectural legacy is associated with fluid geometry and an exploration of movement and space. Zaha Hadid Design carries that approach into objects, translating architectural ideas into products experienced at a more intimate scale.

ELEEZ expresses that connection through its curved surfaces and attention to touch. The collection received an iF DESIGN AWARD in 2026, recognizing its design and reinforcing its place within contemporary architectural hardware.

Explore FORMANI in Beverly Hills

Choosing door hardware involves more than selecting a photograph. Finish, grip, scale and function all contribute to how the finished installation will look and feel.

Specialty Hardware + Plumbing is an authorized U.S. distributor of FORMANI. Visit our Beverly Hills showroom to explore the brand and discuss ELEEZ options, finish selections and project pricing.

CEA Design Faucets to Explore for Your Next Kitchen and Bath Project

A faucet is one of the few architectural details you touch every day. Its proportions, controls and finish deserve the same attention as the stone, cabinetry and lighting around it. For homeowners and design professionals exploring luxury Italian faucets, CEA Design offers a compelling place to begin.
At Specialty Hardware + Plumbing, we are a trusted U.S. distributor of CEA Design faucets, with one of the largest showroom displays. Our Beverly Hills location gives you the opportunity to explore the brand in person and discuss the selections that suit your project.
Three collections deserve a closer look as you plan your kitchen or bathroom  in 2026: ALLURE, AYLA and ECO-DRINKING TAP WATER

ALLURE brings reflection into bathroom design

Introduced in 2026, ALLURE gives the bathroom a distinctive focal point through its reflective handle. Designed by Natalino Malasorti, the collection combines a polished handle surface with satin-finished edges and complementary elements. The result invites a closer look at how a fixture responds to light.

Consider ALLURE when you want the faucet and controls to contribute to the room’s material palette. Viewing a finish beside your stone and cabinetry samples can help you decide how prominent that detail should feel.

AYLA gives architectural form an everyday purpose

Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, AYLA pairs a slender horizontal spout with a broader upright body. Its geometry makes it an appealing starting point for a bathroom built around carefully considered proportions.

For a new build or renovation, the important next step is matching that design to the basin, counter and plumbing layout. A beautiful selection becomes a successful installation when those decisions are coordinated early.

 

ECO DRINKING TAP WATER brings more functionality to the kitchen

CEA’s ECO-DRINKING TAP WATER range brings drinking-water functions into the kitchen faucet system. Depending on the selected tap and equipment package, options include filtered still water, chilled sparkling water and boiling water.

It is a collection worth exploring when planning how your kitchen will work throughout the day. Start with the functions you will use most, then review the compatible system and installation needs with our team.

Explore CEA Design with Specialty Hardware and Plumbing

Whether you are selecting one faucet or coordinating an entire home, we can help you review CEA collections, finish selections and project pricing. Bring your plans and material samples to our Beverly Hills showroom, or request a virtual consultation.

Rondo by Inbani — A Refined Take on the Modern Wall-Hung Toilet

A Spotlight on Rondo by Inbani

Rondo, the latest wall-hung WC by Inbani, exemplifies the brand’s commitment to refined simplicity, contemporary craftsmanship, and seamless integration within modern bathroom design. With its balanced proportions and elegant geometry, Rondo by Inbani combines visual lightness with powerful performance—an ideal choice for architects and designers seeking aesthetic and functional harmony in every detail.

Advanced Design Meets Precision Engineering

At the heart of Rondo’s innovation is its vortex flushing system, a feature designed for both efficiency and cleanliness. Unlike traditional flushing methods that rely on direct or dual jets, a vortex system creates a swirling, circular flow of water that coats the entire bowl evenly. This dynamic movement ensures more effective cleaning with less water usage, minimizing splashing and leaving the bowl spotless after each use.

This technology is especially important for wall-hung toilets, which rely on compact concealed tanks and efficient hydraulic systems. A vortex flush maximizes flushing power without requiring high water volume, maintaining both eco-efficiency and quiet operation—two essential qualities for luxury bathroom environments.

Pair your Rondo by Inbani wall-hung toilet with an elegant and modern flush plate.  Depending on the carrier you install, there are many options available to match your plumbing fixtures or bathroom aesthic.

Read: Elevate your Bathroom with Designer Flush Plates

The Allure of Wall-Hung Toilets

Wall-hung toilets like Rondo have become a favorite among designers and homeowners alike for their space-saving functionality and architectural elegance. By concealing the tank within the wall, they create a floating appearance that adds lightness and visual flow to the bathroom. Beyond aesthetics, this design also makes cleaning easier, as the open floor space below prevents dirt buildup and simplifies maintenance.

In upscale residential and hospitality projects, wall-hung toilets are now considered a hallmark of modern European design, offering the perfect blend of minimalism and innovation.

Matte Finishes and Color Harmony

Rondo is available in four matte finishes from the Inbani color palette — Dune, Forest, Matte White & Matte Black. These muted tones reflect current design trends that favor soft, tactile surfaces and natural-inspired hues over traditional glossy white ceramics. The ability to match Rondo’s finish with Inbani’s furniture, basins, and bathtubs allows for visual continuity throughout the bathroom, reinforcing a cohesive, custom-designed aesthetic.

Elevating Bathroom Design: Tubes Radiatori’s UL-Certified Heated Towel Warmers

As the U.S. distributor for Tubes Radiatori, Specialty Hardware + Plumbing proudly presents three of the brand’s most compelling heated towel warmer collections — all UL-certified for U.S. usage, all designed with an eye for luxury, versatility and architectural refinement.

Why Tubes Radiatori Stands Out

Founded in Italy in 1992, Tubes Radiatori has distinguished itself by treating heating systems not simply as functional fixtures, but as design elements — where style, finish variety and customization matter as much as performance.  As a U.S. distributor with three showrooms in California, Specialty Hardware + Plumbing offers fast lead-times and a wide selection of Tubes stock including rough-in valves, making these high-end radiant objects more accessible than ever in the U.S. market.

If you’re specifying a towel warmer or radiator for a premium bathroom — one that needs to perform, adhere to U.S. safety standards, and contribute to the overall design narrative of the space — the Tubes Radiatori collections (I Ching, Dots. and JJ) tick all the boxes.

Explore each model via the links above, and consider how the orientation, finishes and modular options open up creative possibilities beyond “just a towel rail”.

Spotlight on three collections:

I Ching

Designed by Elisa Ossino, the I Ching towel warmer is a masterclass in minimalist composition. Its sleek vertical or horizontal modules can be used as single units or grouped into graphic configurations on the wall, functioning as both heating accessory and sculptural element. It has garnered major acclaim: it won the 2023 Red Dot “Best of the Best” award.


Key features: 24-volt low-voltage electric version suitable even for humid zones, available in hydronic or plug-in options. Great for designers looking for a linear, wall-art feel in a bathroom environment.

Dots.

Created by the duo Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba, Dots. is described as a “warm accessory” rather than a purely utilitarian object. Its defining form is a simple 19 cm circle that can be installed singly or in multiple rows/columns (vertical or horizontal) to create dynamic wall compositions. It won the 2024 Archiproducts Design Award for its innovation and versatility.



Key features: Available in over 140 RAL colors and multiple finishes (glossy, matte, pearlescent, wrinkled), making it ideal for matching bespoke plumbing fixtures or design palettes while offering year-round practicality.

JJ

Another design by Ludovica Serafini + Roberto Palomba, the JJ collection blends functionality and design innovation. It is described as a towel warmer that doubles as a storage surface — ideal for hospitality, wellness, residential and even nautical settings. It is UL-certified, low-voltage (24 V), and won the 2025 Livingetc Style Award – Best Bathroom Heating.

Key features: Electric 24 V version, customizable finishes across the Tubes palette, strong specification for designers seeking both visual impact and practical utility in limited spaces or multi-towel configurations.

What this means for U.S. buyers & designers

  • Versatility of orientation & configuration: Each of these collections supports vertical or horizontal installation—and configurability with multiple rows or modules. This flexibility means you’re not limited to a standard ladder-style heater but can treat the towel warmer as a design element integrated into wall compositions.

  • Finish variety & customization: Tubes offers one of the widest finish palettes in the category — over 140 RAL colors plus finishes like matte, glossy, pearlescent and textured. This allows perfect coordination with high-end plumbing fixtures, unique bathroom finishes or custom interior schemes.

  • Upscale design, cost-effective lead times: While the design pedigree is high (award-winning designers, Italian craftsmanship), Specialty Hardware + Plumbing’s U.S. stocking and distribution means quicker lead times than many bespoke imports — making these realistic in high-end projects.

Brand Spotlight: Aquadomo

aquadomo

Aquadomo is a European manufacturer, established in Vienna in 1976, known for its timeless design, technical perfection, and superior quality, particularly in bathroom products like flush plates and accessories, continuing the heritage of Viennese arts and crafts workshops. 

Spotlight on Aquadomo
Focus:

Aquadomo specializes in bathroom products, including flush plates, accessories, and shelves, emphasizing functionality, timeless design, and meticulous workmanship. 

Flush plates are the visible control panels that operate the flushing mechanism on wall-hung or concealed toilet systems. While they may seem like a small detail in bathroom design, flush plates are essential for both functionality and aesthetics.

Heritage:

The company is committed to the heritage of the Viennese arts and crafts workshops of the early 20th century. 

Materials & Finishes:

Aquadomo products are made from solid brass or high-grade steel and are available in a variety of finishes, including chrome, gold, nickel, platinum, and polished brass, with special surfaces like bronze or natural brass also available on request. They will also plate their flush plates to match the finish of your plumbing fixtures. 

Manufacturing:

All parts are produced entirely in Europe, ensuring high quality of materials and workmanship. 

Aquadomo Flush Plates:

Designed by Helmut Hochwarter, an Austrian product designer and owners of Aquadomo. Hochwarter’s design portfolio includes a variety of bathroom products such as basin stands, wall shelves, and toilet brush sets. Notably, his Tavolino Bath shelving has been recognized for its fusion of elegance and functionality. ​

Aquadomo flush plates are designed to be compatible with cisterns from leading manufacturers like Geberit, TECE, and TOTO, ensuring the original functions of the cistern and toilet remain unchanged.

Wall-hung toilets require a carrier frame that’s installed inside the wall. This frame includes a built-in tank (cistern) and supports the weight of the toilet. The flush plate is mounted on the wall and links directly to the in-wall cistern, allowing users to activate the flush with a press of the button.

There are typically dual-flush options (one button for full flush, another for half flush) to promote water efficiency

What to consider when choosing a flush plate?

When selecting a flush plate, consider:

  1. Compatibility – Ensure it matches the brand and model of the in-wall carrier system. Not all plates are universal.

  2. Functionality – Dual-flush or single-flush? Touchless or mechanical?

  3. Aesthetic Matching – Choose finishes and materials that complement the rest of the bathroom fixtures (like faucets, towel bars, and hardware).

  4. Ease of Cleaning – Flush plates with smooth surfaces or anti-fingerprint coatings are ideal for high-use bathrooms.

  5. Access for Maintenance – The flush plate often serves as an access panel to the cistern for servicing. Be sure it’s easy to remove or open.

Why are Aquadomo Flush Plates Important?

Flush plates might be small in size, but they make a big impact:

  • They help achieve a clean, uncluttered bathroom aesthetic.

  • Offer convenient access to flush mechanisms without needing to touch the toilet.

  • Support water conservation with dual-flush designs.

  • Provide an opportunity for personal expression in a subtle yet visible way.

Aquadomo Accessories:

In addition to their designer flush plates, Aquadomo also offers bathroom accessories, basin stands, shelving and sconces.
