RYO

Once upon a time, bathrooms were purely functional and disconnected from the rest of the home. Today they are expressions of individual life concepts and places where people retreat to relax. The RYO free-standing bathtub is a functional design object with a clear yet characteristic look that transforms any bathroom into an architecturally sophisticated space. VALLONE's boutique concept for avant-garde bathrooms appeals to a design-savvy and discerning clientele. The company offers its customers a wide range of configuration and personalisation options without the confusing complexity of a wholesale portfolio. RYO not only boasts compelling aesthetics, it also features a subtly convex bathtub rim for comfortable bathing. The bathtub is made of Greenguard Gold-certified VELVET STONE, a mineral cast known for its excellent quality. It has a soft and pleasant surface feel as well as heat-insulating properties that prevent the bathwater from cooling too quickly. Parallel sides permit maximum interior design flexibility, because they allow either space-saving placement or centre-of-room positioning.Members of the jury were impressed by the quality of design and materials, but what really convinced them was RYO’s ability to stand out in a crowded market with many similar products. The jury statement praised the design for its simplicity, unique identity and memorability. RYO is complemented by the other products in the cleverly compiled series, such as the various countertop basins. Alone or in combination with the other products in the RYO family, the RYO bathtub offers ample opportunities for creative bathroom design. It appeals to developers of high-end properties, such as design hotels, but also to private individuals. The bathroom is thus transformed into a life-enhancing space, much more than just a place where you start and end the day.
