Varied Forms’ core mission to rethink the one-size-fits-all mentality common in bathroom design is furthered with the introduction of an upgraded Dark Bronze finish, now available across its interchangeable Folio and Macaron collections. The new finish provides a rich and luxurious accent for bathroom brassware, offering a versatile option that pairs seamlessly with a wide range of materials, textures and colours, which will enhance the flexibility and enduring appeal of this distinctive modular brassware collection.

Creative director and co-founder at Varied Forms Benjamin Peak says: “Varied Forms have updated their Dark Bronze finish to reflect an improved quality and stylishness. Offering a warm, rich and luxurious touch for bathrooms, this is a versatile finish that can be paired with a wide range of material textures and colour schemes. Our new Dark Bronze finish is designed to add luxurious authority to any bathroom it adorns. It’s created through a multi-stage process of oxidization and delicate brushing techniques and hand applied by our finishing experts in the foothills of the Italian alps, before being sealed with a protective lacquer to ensure it will maintain its lustre for a lifetime.”

Offering greater depth than standard block-colour fixtures, the Dark Bronze finish acts as a warm and dynamic accent piece. Its oxidised, brushed patina adds visual richness and character, bringing a refined sense of depth to contemporary bathroom settings. Dark bronze is set to face a resurgence in 2026, as the finish offers a gentler visual presence than matt black, yet still provides an impactful accent that is more versatile to use.

Seamless “switch-ability” remains a hallmark of the Folio range, with customers able to update the accent pieces at any time, without tools or a plumber, offering a practical solution for evolving interiors or multi-phased design schemes. All finishes are available to look at through the interactive Varied Forms Configurator, enabling specifiers to visualise combinations in real time across wall-mounted and deck-mounted options.
