New London showroom for Victoria & Albert

British bath specialists Victoria & Albert have opened a new specification showroom in the Chelsea Harbour Design Centre. Located in the North Dome of the centre at 2/21, the new showroom is a first for the brand outside its Shropshire headquarters and is a valuable resource for retailers, architects, designers and the company’s overseas distributors.

On display in the new showroom are the Napoli, Ravello, ios and Amalfi Premium Range bath and basin collections, the elegant Marlborough bath in a traditional setting and the new Tubo collection of luxury bath fillers. The showroom has the first display of the Ravello bath complete with matching Ravello 60 basin in London.

The showroom is just part of Victoria & Albert’s long term commitment to building its brand and increasing market share in the luxury bathing sector, particularly in high end hotel and residential refurbishments. It includes a seating area for meetings and training sessions and will also be used to showcase future new products. Enquiries from architects, interior designers and other visitors will be referred to Victoria & Albert’s nearest Premium Dealer. Products will not be sold directly from the showroom.

Jonathan Carter Marketing Manager for Victoria & Albert Baths says, "Being passionate about baths and bathing, it is a great pleasure to be opening our first showroom here in London. The showroom is designed to show a wider audience what we can do - and the location is an excellent one for attracting members of the design community. Our aim is to support the brand and our Premium retailers who will benefit from enquiries generated here. We will also be welcoming visits from our international distributors - and they are from as far afield as Canada and New Zealand. The showroom is open on weekdays from 9.00am to 5.30pm and we welcome all visitors looking for a design led approach to bathing.
