High-tech carbon fibre bathroom fittings

by Henry

The Nerocarbonio collection by designer Alberto Del Biondi includes a WC and bidet made entirely in carbon fibre. This material ensures strength and lightness, and a distinctive appearance, enhanced by the design content. The WC lid hides the seat, and both units have a courtesy light.
This represents one of the many possible uses of carbon fibre in everyday objects. Rigid and lightweight, carbon fibre could also be applied to plates and ultralight doors, as well as for components for garments and footwear. Installing a bidet in carbon fibre is conceptually no different from models in other materials.
