Renowned for its discerning selection of bathroom offerings, Rogerseller has cemented its position as a distinguished supplier of European and Australian design. Aligned with the brand’s core pillars of enduring quality and timelessness, Claybrook prevails as a star of Rogerseller’s carefully curated European portfolio.

Embodying excellence, craftsmanship and sustainability to inform luxury baths and basins, the British design house has spent 30 years building meaningful relationships that complement its proficient in-house expertise. Further to Claybrook’s delivery of aesthetically considered pieces, the commitment towards ingenuity and sustainability underpins the innovative invention of MarbleForm®. Composed of reclaimed stone left over from the production of mosaic tiles, the recycled by-product was developed to reimagine the possibilities of stone.

Honouring the influences of both contemporary and classic forms, Claybrook’s iconic baths pay homage whilst forging a fresh vantage of bathroom design.

Taking steps to consciously lessen its impact, testament to the company’s dedication towards minimising environmental effects and reducing manufacturing waste, is the development of Claybrook’s patented moulded stone technology and membership with the U.S. Green Building Council. With a host of advantages, MarbleForm® products are 100 per cent recyclable; UV, slip and stain resistant; easy to clean and maintain; International Fire Spread Compliant and cUPC Certified. The material is combined with high-performance resin and colour pigments and manufactured in a low-impact, emission-free production process – using environmentally sustainable products, materials and manufacturing methods wherever possible.

Employing cutting-edge injection moulding techniques, MarbleForm® is utilised to shape an exceptionally broad array of forms – ranging from classic baths and basins to custom creations that push the design envelope. Once composed, the pieces are subject to a unique wet polishing method that harnesses water to ensure dust particles do not become airborne. The technique is not only healthier, cleaner and safer – as it eliminates floating particles – but it also imparts a superior quality to the finish. The result is an exceptionally fine, smooth surface texture befitting of the sophisticated bathroom spaces Claybrook baths and basins inhabit.

Honouring the influences of both contemporary and classic forms, Claybrook’s iconic baths pay homage whilst forging a fresh vantage of bathroom design. The Skye and Evolve baths’ sweeping curves and long, sloping forms effortlessly communicate refinement. Skye’s elegantly pared-back design sees modern minimalism celebrated in its recognisable shape, whilst Evolve blithely introduces a Victorian-era inspired roll top as its crowning feature – transporting traditional design to today. With more than 26 hues to choose from, ranging from natural and neutral to vivacious vibrant shades or speckled terrazzo, there is a Claybrook bath to elevate any palette.

Further exploring the graceful impact of circular edges in the bathroom, Claybrook’s basins take on a rounded profile. Composed yet impactful, the gentle bends of the Soho and Orbit basins have been thoughtfully designed to fit the contemporary urban interior. Soho exists as a chic addition to benchtops and complements the matching Soho bath beautifully. Orbit’s bold design comprises a freestanding pedestal that extends gracefully from the ground, proposing a potent focal piece.

Further to Claybrook’s delivery of aesthetically considered pieces, the commitment towards ingenuity and sustainability underpins the innovative invention of MarbleForm®.

Exceedingly materialised with meticulous care, Claybrook’s collection is hand-finished with masons scrupulously polishing each piece to perfection in a four-stage process that takes over 60 hours. More than simply bathroom fittings, Claybook creations are the embodiment of master craftspeople turning raw stone and natural resins into enduring and functional works of art.
