Inspired by iconic architectural contours and exquisite haute couture gowns, Tulle is a compelling collection of bathware, handcrafted by Apaiser artisans.
Named after the exquisite fabric tulle, which is synonymous with bridal gowns, haute couture and classical ballet, tulle is the embodiment of lightness and sensuality, delicate strength and purity. Dating back to the 18th century, the fabric takes its name from the French city of Tulle, known for its lace and silk production, where it was crafted painstakingly by hand. It can be rigid, voluminous, fashioned into uniform layers, or softly draped to create gentle waves. Its ethereal, transparent qualities and classic forms, transcend time, exclusivity, style and gender.
This chic and romantic fabric has long been a couture staple. Dior, Giambattista Valli, Rodarte and Saint Laurent, among others, have made statements using tulle through various decades and collections. Combined with leather and metal it takes on a tough and androgynous style. Fashioned into a voluminous gown, or ballet costume, it is delicate and feminine. Paired with sportswear, it takes on a casual air and injects a little luxury into the everyday, for anyone.
Just like its namesake, the Apaiser Tulle Collection is refined and graceful, whimsical yet disciplined, subtle but arresting. It is a collection which, regardless of your style, will be a piece of performance art in your bathroom.
Mimicking the ebb and flow of the fabric, the collection is defined by a perfect profile of slender, uniform reeds. The texture creates depth and interest, while the undulating surface plays with light and shade. The collection is most arresting when finished in soft whites, or moody darks, which emphasise light and shadows highlighting the architectural detail.
The new Tulle collection is comprised of a freestanding bathtub, countertop basin, single and double vanities, and matching side table or shower stool.
All apaiser pieces are handcrafted by master craftsmen in our ateliers from our own apaiserMARBLE® – a unique blend of reclaimed marble, combined with stone and minerals from the Australian Barossa. Our sculptural bathware collections are founded on a belief in sustainable luxury and desire to preserve our beautiful environment.
