Marine Bathrooms founder launches new Pietra Illuminata stone basin shelf

Andrew Ryder-Davies, founder of Marine Bathrooms in Cheadle, has unveiled Pietra Illuminata, an illuminated stone basin shelf designed as a luxury bathroom centrepiece.
 
Ryder-Davies, who is a former Royal Marines Commando and bathroom installer turned showroom owner, developed Pietra while working on a major London bathroom project, by combining natural stone with atmospheric lighting to create a distinctive bespoke feature. The concept has since evolved into a product for homes and showrooms, which was exhibited at KBB Birmingham this year to strong interest from visitors and industry professionals.
 
Pietra Illuminata is an illuminated basin shelf made from fabricated stone in a white onyx finish. It combines a practical basin surface with atmospheric lighting, creating a focal point for residential bathrooms, en suites and cloakrooms, as well as luxury hotels and commercial washrooms. The integrated lighting can be adjusted from warm to cool white to complement different bathroom styles and material palettes. A warmer setting suits softer, natural interiors, while cool white complements a crisp, contemporary scheme.
 
Standard widths are 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm and 1200mm, while bespoke sizes can be made to measure to fit individual spaces. The basin is supplied separately, giving customers and designers the freedom to choose their preferred countertop bowl. Standard sizes have a lead time of 2–3 days, while bespoke sizes take approximately 10 days.
 
The shelf arrives ready to fit, much like a conventional bathroom shelf, with the lighting already integrated. It simply requires a suitable electrical feed from an electrician, similar to an illuminated bathroom mirror. Fitting time will depend on the site and whether the electrical supply is already in place.
