INSPIRATION 2017

Product catalog summary
Editorial Overview
Alape has been a leader in bathroom product innovation for 120 years, adapting to social changes like globalization and digitalization by creating flexible and modular living spaces. Their products aim to transform bathrooms into luxurious spaces for contemplation.
Product Novelties
Alape introduces the Scopio series with a puristic design featuring modern conical shapes, including wall-mounted and floor-standing washstands and dish basins. The Assist shelf system, designed by Wolfgang Hartauer, offers customizable elements to enhance bathroom functionality.
Material Innovations
The Metallic Dark Iron finish adds a warm, metallic touch to bathrooms, while the Bicolor finish highlights basin geometry with a contrast between shiny white and matte black.
Production Insights
Alape's production in Goslar combines craftsmanship with automation, using glazed steel for durability and quality. The process allows for immediate customization to meet individual customer needs.
Historical Context
Since 1896, Alape has consistently focused on quality and innovation, developing high-quality, durable products that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Specifications and Material Properties
Basins and washstands maintain shape with a tolerance of 1 to 2 mm, made from steel and glass. They are colorfast, UV-resistant, and withstand temperatures from -60 to +460°C. The glaze is thin yet robust, resistant to scratches and chemicals, and creates a pore-free surface.
Customization Options
Custom colors are available for orders of ten basins or more. Washstands can be adapted with oblique cuts, and laser technology allows for engraving. Additional features like dispensers can be integrated.
Material Innovation
Titanium-stabilized steel is used for precision and stability, allowing for innovative product designs. All products are free from harmful substances and fully recyclable.
Design Collaboration
Alape's 35-year collaboration with sieger design focuses on enhancing design quality through long-term partnerships, emphasizing fresh perspectives and progressive ideas.
Brand Development
Alape's brand is characterized by architectural clarity, targeting planners and architects with a focus on component manufacturers. Glazed steel offers precision and new design possibilities.
Design Process
The design process involves sketches, models, and 1:1 prototypes, checking dimensions and material compatibility to develop a coherent design language.
Future of Bathroom Design
Future designs will integrate technology for comfort, with electronics becoming common in bathrooms. Despite advancements, bathrooms remain spaces for personal regeneration.
Small Bathrooms
As urban spaces expand, bathroom spaces shrink, requiring tailored solutions to maintain comfort and functionality.
Guest and Master Bathrooms
Guest bathrooms serve as showpieces, balancing functionality and design. Master bathrooms combine intimacy and family interaction, reflecting personal preferences.
Working Spaces
Durable bucket sinks are highlighted for use in various workspaces, known for their quality since the 1950s.
Aigai Spa Project
Located in São Paulo, this spa integrates Alape basins and Dornbracht fittings, emphasizing relaxation and harmony with water as a central element.
Historical Overview of Alape
Founded in 1896, Alape has innovated in washplace solutions, with milestones like the first multi-functional basin in 1930 and the first dish basin with a 3 mm edge in 1997.
Introduction
This document provides an overview of Alape's innovative washplace solutions, highlighting their evolution over the years.
Customizable Washplace Solutions
Alape offers a component system for custom washplace solutions, allowing for flexibility and personalization.
Integration of Washplace Functions
In 2007, Alape introduced a system integrating washplace functions into the system wall.
Innovative Use of Materials
By 2009, glazed steel enabled functional integration into unused compartments, showcasing material innovation.
