Not everything needs to be bespoke – but sometimes it does
Designing a bathroom doesn't mean reinventing everything from scratch.
But sometimes, a beloved piece simply doesn’t fit – when spatial conditions don’t cooperate or proportions feel off. That’s when a tailored solution can make all the difference.
A custom-made washbasin may be just what’s needed: bringing clarity, structuring the room more effectively, or sitting more precisely in the overall composition.
When bespoke truly makes sense
Custom solutions are worth considering whenever the space presents particular challenges:
– in compact layouts, where every centimeter matters
– along symmetrical axes, where the basin needs to be perfectly centered
– in spaces with unusual heights or depths (e.g., in historic buildings)
– when base unit, fittings, and niche must align precisely
In calm, minimalist interiors, bespoke design can also elevate the space – because everything sits just right, and nothing distracts.
What can be tailored – and what remains defined
Not everything needs to be custom-designed. Often, a few thoughtful adjustments are enough:
– width and depth of the basin
– positioning of the drain and fittings
– cut-outs for niches, wall projections, or architectural details
– pairing with a made-to-measure base
The form itself – the centerpiece – remains deliberately strong at Marvalet. It isn’t meant to be arbitrary, but to express clarity and presence. Yet its dimensions, finish, and configuration can be sensitively adapted to suit the space.
Clarity over endless choice
Bespoke doesn’t mean boundless. True individualization stems from intention, not from an abundance of options. That’s why at Marvalet, we think in clear models – adaptable, but never arbitrary.
In summary – when bespoke is the right choice
Made-to-measure isn’t a luxury. It’s a tool for good design.
When the space demands it – or the eye does.
When precision is needed – or when calm is the goal.
