ALAPE

Alape’s material characteristics have become a compass for their design, allowing products to take shape that fulfill the basic human needs for cleanliness and aesthetics in equal measure.  They believe harmony is required between these aspects to live up to our customers’ high and varying requirements.

1. Alape Folio Washbasin

The Folio features high-precision manufacturing with exact geometry, minimal radii and flat surfaces: A delicate 3 mm thick glazed steel cover wraps tightly around the washstand and encases it like a wafer-thin sheet adding extra storage and keeping the overall weight of the vanity unbelievably light.  Available in five matte finishes.

 

2. Alape Insert Washplace

With measurements of 19 1/8 x 12 1/2″, height 18 1/2″, dishbasin 11 3/4″ in you can see why this is perfection for any tiny home. Plus we love the look of the white glazed steel. The countertop comes in either white or anthracite brown in glazed steel. With different variations depending on where the towel rack, lavatory faucet or cabinet work best.

3. Alape Inside.S

The Inside.S is perfect for anyone looking to get more storage from his or her vanity without crowding the bathroom.  Plus, the dark oak surface coating and contrasting adjustable glass shelving are gorgeous. Just like it’s smaller counterpart above, you have the ability to choose from four layouts that vary by faucet location and preference of side for shelving and the stainless steel towel bar.

4. Alape Assist Shelf System

Storage is always a big deal in any bathroom. In a tiny home it’s everything. These are some of our favorite storage systems that create stunning design elements for the space and even more function.  The Assist Shelving System is available in a range of shelf lengths and can be installed in any configuration.

LACAVA

Their selection of lavatories and sinks, made of porcelain, solid surface, natural stone, and stainless steel, offers a wide range of applications from stand-alone pedestals, wall-mount, on-counter vessels, to vanity top, and undermount sinks. Regardless of the space requirements, whether it’s needed for a mansion with dozens of bathrooms or is sought after by a “tiny house nation,” they have shapes and sizes to choose from to fit any facility.

5. Lacava Piccalo Wall Mounted Porcelain Sink

The whole Piccalo collection is simply made with smaller lavatories in mind.  With it’s corner mounted one hole design it has an ability to fit where other sinks can’t.

6. Lacava Aquababy

Lacava Aquababy

Aquababy is a wall mounted or above-center porcelain lavatory.  One of the reasons we like it, besides it’s adorable name, is the fact that it comes with no faucet holes, one or three.  Opening up the door for endless faucet possibilities.

Unfortunately, you can’t always lock them because the lack of a strike plate.
