In the world of contemporary architecture and interior design, even the smallest details can redefine a space. With the launch of the TECEvelvet flush plate, German sanitary solutions brand TECE has introduced a product that not only raises the bar in bathroom innovation but also reimagines what a flush plate can be.

Designed by industrial designer Konstantin Grcic, the TECEvelvet flush plate combines cutting-edge material science with timeless aesthetics, offering professionals in architecture, construction, and design new dimensions of possibility.

At the heart of this innovation is FENIX NTM®, the award-winning surface material developed by Italian manufacturer Arpa Industriale. Widely celebrated in high-end furniture, kitchen, and interior applications, FENIX NTM makes its debut in the bathroom space through TECEvelvet. Its ultra-matt, velvety-soft surface is resistant to fingerprints, scratches, moisture and cleaning agents, with low-light reflection that enhances its depth of colour.

Under the microscope, TECEvelvet reveals a surface structure resembling a hilly landscape, lending it a unique softness and resilience that’s ideal for high-use, wet environments. This durability and ease of maintenance ensures that the flush plate remains pristine – perfect for both residential projects and large-scale commercial developments.

From a design perspective, TECEvelvet offers seamless integration. With conventional installation, it projects a mere five millimetres from the wall. In flush-mounted applications, only a fine shadow gap distinguishes it from its surroundings – particularly striking when paired with wall cladding of matching FENIX NTM®. Available in six refined shades, it lends itself to both bold statements and understated elegance.

Beyond aesthetics, TECE continues its tradition of modular planning and long-term compatibility. TECE flush plates, including TECEvelvet, are universally interchangeable with the brand’s cistern systems – making them a future-proof choice for renovations and new builds alike.

For specifiers, contractors and architects seeking to balance durability, innovation, and design integrity, the TECEvelvet flush plate embodies the fusion of function and form. More than just a flush plate, it’s a design element that elevates the bathroom into a space of architectural expression.
