The bathroom crafter

talsee specialises in producing custom-sized mirror cabinets, bathroom furniture, showers and bathtubs. The solid surface material Corian, which is made with an acrylic binder, has been used for private and contract interiors for decades and is renowned for its excellent processing characteristics and easy-clean properties. Because it can be scoured, products made of Corian look like new even decades down the line.

talsee has been making bathroom products out of the material successfully for years. Based in Lucerne’s Seetal valley, the company uses Corian to produce vanity units, bathroom furniture and its new purity bathroom collection, in which the bathtubs are joined seamlessly to the shower trays. This combination is extremely easy to clean and maintenance-free. Because if there are no joins, mould doesn’t stand a chance.

talsee relies on a clever mix of automated CNC processing and individual hand production. Complex parts are made by machine and then efficiently put together and glued by hand. The glued joints are invisible, by the way – just another of Corian’s aesthetic benefits.

For Mark Wunderlin, head of marketing & design, it’s crucial that the production process and high-precision machinery make the preliminary work extremely accurate and Corian can be processed like wood. “Our employees are trained carpenters and really enjoy working with this material,” explains Wunderlin.

TALSEE: At its efficient production site in Hochdorf, talsee AG specialises in manufacturing individual bathroom furniture under the stewardship of managing director Bruno Scherer. The combination of modern manufacturing facilities and strategically deployed hand production techniques permits maximum flexibility and consistently high quality, ensuring that every piece of furniture is a top-quality one-off.
