Victoria + Albert’s in-house UK design team has developed a new floorstanding Podium basin model for its recently launched Kerid collection. Available in either a gloss or velvety matt finish, the new Kerid podium basin can also be specified in any of 200 RAL exterior colours.
The minimalist podium basin features a sleek, one-piece form with a chamfered base detail, echoing the Kerid soaking bath, to create a subtle ‘floating’ effect. All finishes are multi-layered using a special catalysed paint and hand-polished between applications to achieve a deep lustre and long-lasting durability.
Developed 30 years ago, Victoria + Albert’s proprietary material, Quarrycast™, is crafted from a blend of Volcanic Limestone™ and high-performance resins. The material is exceptionally strong and durable – twice as hard as acrylic, with no creaking or flexing. Scratch-, stain-, and UV-resistant, the material is also a natural insulator and easy to maintain.
Made to last, Victoria + Albert basins benefit from a 25-year consumer guarantee.
About the Kerid Collection
The Kerid Collection from Victoria + Albert reimagines bathing as a restorative wellness ritual. At the heart of the collection is the Kerid soaking bath. Compact yet immersive, it is designed for both hot soaking and cold plunging. At just 1350mm long, the bath fits comfortably in modest bathrooms and outdoor spaces, while its elevated sides (700–850mm) create a cocooning full-body experience. A raised seat within the base ensures comfort, and a slim, angled rim naturally supports the neck and head.
The bath is complemented by an optional step, as well as two basin options, creating a cohesive design story for contemporary bathrooms and wellness-focused spaces.
