Floor-standing ceramic and ash vanity unit
Marcel – Archiproducts Design Awards 2022
MARCEL is a made in Italy floor-standing ceramic vanity unit whose concept is inspired by the sinuous yet rational shapes of the Bauhaus and the elegance and essentiality of the production of curved solid wood furniture and Vienna straw, a distinctive feature of the Thonet family, reinterpreted in a contemporary way by designers Andrea Parisio and Giuseppe Pezzano.
With MARCEL the company continues its design path in which traditional craftsmanship and innovation interact: the result is an iconic model is born that captures the essence of the past and at the same time is an expression of new trends in living. A solution that brings elegance, lightness and design to the bathroom, in which the softness of the ceramic is enhanced by a game of balance between different materials and intertwined textures.
The “fil rouge” of this unprecedented proposal, which guarantees an aesthetic continuum between the elements, is the craftsmanship: Ceramica Cielo’s skilful use of ceramic modelling, in its many nuances, combines synergistically with the cabinetmaker’s ability, the curvature of the ash and the refined weaving of the rush (Vienna Straw). The result is a distinctive product, a perfect example of mastery of the company’s unique Italian craftsmanship.
The protagonist is always the ceramic which, moulded by expert craftsmen, makes the washbasin extremely pleasing both to the eye and to the touch. Available in the suspended or countertop version – on a structure or surface – the latter is proposed in the glossy white and the matte and glossy finishes of the “Terre” and “Acque di Cielo” colour palettes.
Born from the constant search for the perfect balance between formal rationality and quality of materials, MARCEL is made even more functional and unique by the structure, enhanced by the sinuous design of the drawer unit – with the front covered in Vienna Straw – both proposed in natural or black-stained ash wood.
To make the bathroom environment even more distinctive, this iconic piece is completed by the MARCEL mirror cabinetwith double door and front in Vienna Straw, echoing the front of the drawer unit, ensuring maximum stylistic coherence and compositional freedom.
