Bette bathtubs are now available in matte black

In fashion, photography and architecture, monochrome black is often used in a targeted manner as an aesthetic expression of style. Black accentuates structure and silhouette, but also creates clarity with a dramatic touch. This same effect also applies to the architecture of the bathroom. Current trends feature matte black elements, such as taps, basins, toilets, or even entire bathrooms. Bette now offers a variant of its “Silhouette” bathtub in this color.

The term “Silhouette” covers different variants of freestanding, built-in or corner bathtubs from the BetteLux and BetteStarlet ranges. With their sober body in vitrified titanium steel and the large immaculate surfaces of their apron, these baths reflect a graphic aspect in the overall concept of the bathroom. The mat black surface, called "Ebony", further enhances their expressiveness. The bathtubs thus take on a monolithic, almost mystical character.

Staging matte black in the bathroom

Black cannot really be called a color. Black is the absence of light. The eye perceives only its reflection. In principle, there are only two possibilities for staging a “Silhouette” bathtub in matt black: either within a tone-on-tone set, or in a black and white scenographic atmosphere. In a bathroom in black tones, the various elements disappear in favor of the interior architecture and a clear structure. The matt black bathtub is then integrated into the general rendering. On the other hand, if it is staged in a white atmosphere, this impression is reversed: the bathroom becomes a theater, in which the bathtub is the actor.

The many advantages of vitrified titanium steel are fully expressed in matt black. This sturdy material forgives the slightest carelessness, like a candle accidentally dripping on the edge of the tub. Its surface, hard as glass and free from porosity, does not allow bacteria and dirt to cling. On a daily basis, it is therefore easy to clean and maintain. Since the vitrification is UV resistant, Bette guarantees the elegance and shine of this matte black color over time.
