The IVE Collection has been created with lightness, strength and simplicity in mind. Its elegant shape and slim form are reminiscent of a porcelain bowl. Fine lines and precise edges are inherent features of this collection.

The designer of IVE took inspiration from nature, in the beauty and grace of a tulip flower as it opens its petals to full bloom. The lightweight organic shape, which is characteristic in the entire collection, has been achieved with the use of Mineral Composite. Mineral Composite is a material with characteristics beyond the capabilities of traditional materials used in the manufacture of bathroom products.

Innovations
The IVE collection with its thin wall construction is the result of an innovative approach to design, using Mineral Composite. Thanks to that The IVE countertop washbasin is 20% lighter than a regular basin made in this technology. The unique properties of Mineral Composite allowed to achieve a radius of 0.8mm at the thinnest point of product.

Materials
The entire IVE collection is made from Mineral Composite. Due to its unique structure, based on a combination of nature and technology, Mineral Composite imparts exceptional qualities to the manufacture of Marmite’s bathroom products. The main component of Mineral Composite is dolomite stone. Every Marmite product has a minimum dolomite content of 75%. The crushed stone particles of appropriately varied sizes ideally fill the mould, forming a compact base. The resin added to the base, which envelopes every grain of dolomite, forms a material with a set of properties unparalleled in nature.
