Elevated. Literally.
The BC Designs Essex Freestanding Bath is unlike anything else in the BC Designs collection — and unlike most things you will find anywhere. Its defining feature is immediately apparent: a wide, generously proportioned Cian solid surface bowl, raised on a slender matt black stand that lifts it clear of the floor with an effortless, almost sculptural confidence. The result is a bath that feels as much like a piece of contemporary furniture as it does a bathroom fixture.
The bowl itself is crafted from cast Cian solid surface, a premium non-porous composite handcrafted in South Africa. It is warm to the touch, retains heat exceptionally well, and is resistant to scratches and staining — a material that performs as beautifully as it looks. The built-in overflow is seamlessly integrated, and at 1510mm in length with a 170-litre capacity, the Essex delivers a genuinely indulgent bathing experience despite its considered footprint.
Available in nine Cian solid surface finishes — from the cool authority of Gun Metal and Industrial Grey to the warmth of Light Fawn and Mushroom, the softness of Powder Blue and Satin Rose, and the quiet elegance of Matt White — the Essex can be configured to suit any interior. Each finish is paired with the same matt black stand, creating a consistent, considered aesthetic across the range. Please note waste is not included; we recommend pairing with a push-down slotted bath waste for a seamless finish.
