Art-deco suggestions for INstile, the new shower collection by Aquaelite. Strictly made in Italy, it is a sophisticated interpretation of a transversal design-trend that, not only in the bathroom, recalls the roaring 1920s.

INstile is a return to the classic in a modern key, with a measured decorative appeal, a luxury that is never overstated, a balance in the design, between glamour and essentiality, that does not result in empty nostalgia or pure replication of the past. Soft shapes, clear-cut contours, sinuous lines thanks to overlapping rounded profiles, a noble material such as brass, warm and precious finishes: tradition and innovation, aesthetic well-being and physical well-being come together to offer an emotional and charming shower experience.
The collection's design meets a variety of contemporary project requirements with elegant functionality: renovations of period buildings that require coherence of style, supplies for contract and luxury hotels, interior projects that play on the mix&match of different styles, between history and modernity.
The return to the past is not only an allusion to shapes, but also a precise, almost philological choice of material: 100% brass. It is the material of tradition, expressing all the beauty of the patina of time, but also the most ductile to create complex shapes and details. Brass infuses the right weight into a product that is precious in style and content, while also offering a versatile range of finishes. Gold, copper, bronze and black chrome are like tailor-made suits that make the collection suitable for every material combination, ranging from marble to ceramics, from stone to wood. The broad choice of finishes contributes to making INstile a tailor-made product, customised according to the various design needs and able to impose itself as a distinctive element of the bathroom, transforming the shower into an exclusive ritual.

The highlight of the collection is the Art Deco rain shower head with a 200 mm diameter, which with its sculptural shapes and large dimensions becomes the protagonist and visual focus of the shower environment. In addition to the overhead shower, the INstile catalogue offers numerous products, all characterised by a harmony of classic and modern lines: wall-mounted shower arm, sliding rail, shower set with water connection and 60 mm diameter round hand shower holder, a new solution for the pressure-system coupling that makes it more convenient and intuitive to attach the shower to the holder. 
INstile is one of the many examples of Aquaelite's production capacity, a Lombardy-based company specialising in the design and manufacture of innovative shower systems with a sophisticated design. The products in the catalogue are a synthesis of continuous research work, high quality materials, and investment in cutting-edge technology, with a tradition and craftsmanship that has been handed down from father to son for forty years. Strongly rooted in the territory, Aquaelite is a virtuous industrial reality that makes made in Italy a mission. Proudly Italian in the selection of raw materials, the excellence of the workmanship, the original creativity, and the wealth of experience that are transferred into each and every product leaving the factories. Efficient production processes designed to reduce waste and compliance with the strictest international certifications make for a company that is fully committed to the environment and the culture of beauty.
