nnovation and inspiration are at the heart of all that C.P. Hart does. As Britain’s leading premium bathroom designer and retailer, the company continually challenges the industry to take a fresh look at bathroom design. It has been in business since 1937 when Charles Percival Hart founded it by supplying sanitaryware and tiles out of a small shop in south-east London. Since then, the business has established its reputation for being first to the UK market with what have become household names – brands like Duravit – while expanding its own stable of exclusive ranges and C.P. Hart branded collections. John Hart’s innovative Waterloo shower valve, launched in 1992, went on to become the biggest selling valve of the decade. It boasts robust, classical proportions, and dovetails with one of the company’s most popular classic collections, the London range. London is now available for the first time in on-trend blue and slate finishes, a timely response to the changing needs of today’s bathroom customer. Thanks to continuing close collaborations with designers, most of the world’s leading manufacturers choose C.P. Hart to reveal their new designs in Britain – many of them exclusively. 2019 sees the company celebrate the 25th anniversary of the launch of AXOR’s Starck Classic single lever basin mixer designed by Philippe Starck. This groundbreaking tap was first unveiled in the UK by C.P. Hart and has become synonymous with world-class design. 2019’s product introductions include ranges by Italian manufacturer Cielo – a highlight is the Cielo Elle Ovale, an ultra-light, minimal oval washbasin with a ceramic splashback and mirror with LED lighting; a pioneering project by Scavolini and Diesel Living, which is a fresh take on the concept of industrial minimalism that combines warm hues, matt materials and large mirrored surfaces in its bathroom furnishings; and the Kut collection by Italian makers, Karol, featuring a vanity unit with an origami-like composition. Housed within a series of railway arches underneath Waterloo station, C.P. Hart’s flagship showroom is the ultimate immersive bathroom design experience. Showcasing the latest product collections alongside a tile and samples library, it provides an airy and spacious meeting-place for designers, architects, trade professionals and their clients.
