Simple Form Designs | Bath Accessories

SimpleFormsDesign was founded in the beginning of 2004, as an ongoing project of two designers: Alzira Peixoto and Carlos Mendonça. Based in Porto, this new company develops and commercialises design products that reflect and respond to the surrounding environment, employing small and mid-sized Portuguese facilities for its own production. Design, innovation, functionality and quality are the driving concepts in the creation and development of every new collection and every new product. In SimpleFormsDesign past and future, craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, tradition and modern design walk side by side, creating unique pieces capable of making a difference on their own. The resulting products are carefully conceived articles that blend into the contemporary environment, in many cases, rehabilitating methods of production that had fallen into decline. The BATH Collection (design by Alzira Peixoto and Carlos Mendonça) derives from a former project led by this design team to SimpleFormsDesign. BATH is both an innovative and original collection of design pieces directed to bathroom areas: stainless steel accessories, wooden and stainless steel soap trays and boxes and natural brushes. Bearing in mind the will to incorporate Portuguese traditional materials in bold new design creations, the new CORK Collection (design by Alzira Peixoto and Carlos Mendonça) was developed. Bathroom oriented cork objects comprise this collection: wash basins, soap trays, storages and bath mats. Despite being such a traditional material, cork is employed in a very innovative and unexpected way. The choice of this material is by itself a major innovation. The main options are for two kinds of materials: agglomerated cork and rubber-cork composite. These products have a finishing that provides them with the wear and tear protection they need for everyday use.
