Matching bathroom suites are having a renaissance. The ‘Stand\’ collection by Norm Architects, created for Italian brand Ex.t, is a stylish example of why. A lesson in pared-back elegance, the range, designed by Danes Kasper Ronn and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen, combines cast-iron details, inspired by 1920s and ’30s fittings, with a 21st-century material, Living Tec – a mixture of aluminium oxide and polyester acrylic resin.
