WETSTYLE’s STELLÉ collection introduces classical beauty to the modern home, with floor-mount vanities designed to embrace the LAB collection’s drop-in sinks. Inspired by historic monoliths, STELLÉ’s minimalist design converts that inspiration into compact, urban elegance that fits easily into any size of powder room or bathroom.
“The STELLÉ collection was designed for simplicity and finesse in conjunction with our LAB collection washbasins,” says Bélanger. “Whether selected for a powder room, or as a grander statement for larger bathrooms, STELLÉ exudes the richness of its woods in the form of a timeless monolith.”

The FEEL collection replicates the textures and tactile sensation of concrete. Complementing this collection’s look and feel, a single slab composition reduces installation time and costs associated with traditional acrylic or tile-based shower floors. FEEL shower bases are compliant to both North American plumbing codes and the American Disability Act (ADA). Ample surrounding flat edges allow for the installation of standard and rolling/sliding shower enclosures. FEEL’s one-piece construction also reduces the risk of water leaks associated with multi-layered tiled-in solutions. With no seams, joints, or grout, FEEL’s barrier-free construction eliminates the need for waterproof membranes, hot mopping, and slope construction.

The FEEL shower bases are available in neutral shades of white, grey, and black, with supplied drain covers matched in texture and colour that seamlessly blend for a unified look. For medium and large-scale projects, FEEL’s dimensions, colours, drain grids, textures, and even logos can be fully customized.
Complementing its alluring aesthetics and functional pragmatism, the ADA-compliant FEEL collection embraces safety and wellbeing and features anti-slip textures and ISO-NPG-H certified antibacterial/anticorrosion treatment
“Since introducing our CUBE collection in 2002, WETSTYLE products have been at the forefront of North American bathroom trends,” says Wolinksy. “FEEL is a continuation of that positioning and introduces a collection reflective of European design, yet adapted to North American standards and tastes.”
