Omvivo and Caesarstone
The Introduction of Caesarstone into the Collection
The Omvivo Washplane®, considered by many as the benchmark for innovative, luxury bathroom products, was relaunched during 2008 in stunning Caesarstone®. The Geo Washplane brings the visual and physical elements of a superior day spa or resort into the home, creating beautiful bathrooms while providing the user with a wonderful experience.
"The Washplane® is a signature creation for Omvivo, and has become somewhat of an icon in bathroom design. When considering options for the extension of the Washplane® range, it was important that the material choice met Omvivo’s high standards of quality and durability, while being visually stunning and offering our discerning clientele an exclusive product. Caesarstone® met these requirements, offering a beautiful, superior finish with the advantage of an excellent global reputation."
Suzie Dyson – Brand Manager
When considering options for the extension of the Geo Washplane® range, Caesarstone® was an obvious choice. Caesarstone’s beautiful and consistent finish as well as the material’s durability met Omvivo’s requirements as a high-end luxury material option. Snow, latte and Mink were selected as the standard finishes with custom Caesarstone® colours also available.
The Geo Washplane® in Caesarstone is an Australian made and designed product and is now being selected for residential and commercial developments globally.
