Tulip, in Profile

Tulip, in Profile

There is something disarming about a bathroom collection that leads with shape instead of spectacle. Tulip from Hastings Bath Collection uses soft geometry and restrained color to reframe everyday bath elements as part of a composed whole. Rather than calling attention to any single piece, the collection focuses on how parts relate, align, and repeat once installed.

Designed and manufactured in Italy, Tulip is a modular system of contemporary bathroom furniture that includes wall-mounted and freestanding consoles, sculptural solid-surface basins and bathtubs, mobile storage carts, and a suite of coordinated accessories. Curved metal components form the collection’s visual backbone, creating a consistent profile across elements without feeling precious or overly styled.

Color is where Tulip quietly expands the specifier’s toolkit. With 44 matte lacquer finishes, the collection supports both tonal continuity and deliberate contrast. Shelves, brackets, and handles are not hidden details. They act as graphic accents, allowing designers to tune the composition without resorting to surface decoration.

The rotating mirror column is Tulip’s most distinctive gesture, and also its most practical. With a full-length mirror on one side and open shelving on the other, it addresses storage and circulation in a compact footprint. Wall-mounted or floor-supported, it reads as furniture rather than hardware, which makes it particularly relevant for hospitality and multifamily settings.

Performance remains central. Materials are engineered for resistance to heat, scratches, and stains, keeping Tulip grounded in real-world use. It is easy to imagine this system working where durability, color, and visual calm must coexist, from amenity baths to family-focused spaces.

For designers familiar with Hastings’ expressive side, as seen here, Tulip feels more measured. Less declarative. More confident. A collection defined by profile, proportion, and how it holds together over time.
