A Vision Rooted in Character and Craft
When interior designer Frederiek Van Pamel and Kenny & Mason joined forces, the goal was clear: create a space where every element, from grand gestures to refined details, would flow together in perfect harmony.
Captured through the lens of photographer Claude Smekens, this project reveals a rich interplay of textures, materials and mood — where functionality and artistry coexist beautifully.
Van Pamel is renowned for his bold, eclectic style — layered with personality, soul and unexpected contrast.
To fully honour that vision, Kenny & Mason were involved from the earliest design stages, allowing every product — standard, customised or fully bespoke — to be integrated with both aesthetic precision and technical elegance.
The Centrepiece: The Duke Freestanding Bath
For this project, The Duke freestanding bath by Kenny & Mason was selected — an iconic model known for its timeless shape and exceptional versatility.
With its oval silhouette and sculptural presence, it became far more than a functional object; it was positioned as a visual anchor in the space, carefully placed to establish balance and rhythm within the room.
The interior of the bath was finished in brushed brass, while the exterior was given a charcoal black coating — a striking combination that echoes the contrasts often found in Frederiek Van Pamel’s interior work.
Yet the true strength of The Duke lies in its customisation potential. This bath can be made to order in a larger size, with an alternative base design, or even in a completely different shape or finish, depending on the client’s vision and the spatial context.
The decision to use this particular model was not purely aesthetic. Thanks to the bespoke options offered by Kenny & Mason, the bath could be tailored exactly to the proportions of the room, the desired flow of movement, and the overall visual narrative that Van Pamel envisioned.
It was this level of detail and flexibility that allowed the bath to feel fully integrated — not as an addition to the space, but as a defining element of it.
Tailored Taps for Natural Stone Basins
Special attention was given to the washbasin area, where natural stone bowls required carefully proportioned brassware to achieve both visual and functional harmony. To ensure the water flow aligned precisely with the contours of the stone, the taps were custom-heightened.
The necks were elongated to meet the exact specifications needed for a seamless interaction between form and function. Further refinement was found in the choice of the Barbara Lever handle, a classic yet distinctive detail that added character and elegance.
In this project, separate hot and cold taps were selected to reflect a more traditional aesthetic. However, the same design is also available in a single-mixer version, offering a contemporary option within the same stylistic language.
The brushed brass finish of the taps was matched to both the freestanding bath and the towel radiator, maintaining a consistent material palette throughout the room.
Thanks to this level of precision and attention to detail, the taps became an integral part of the overall design, not just practical elements but essential contributors to the atmosphere and identity of the space.
Seamless Integration from Concept to Craft
Radiators are often treated as afterthoughts, but not here. The wall-mounted towel radiator, finished in brushed brass, was custom-built to reflect the proportions and tone of the space, ensuring that even the most functional elements felt intentional and refined.
Its dimensions were tailored to the specific layout, with options available in height, width and number of bars, and in electric, hydronic or dual-fuel formats.
The result is a radiator that not only delivers warmth but visually contributes to the overall atmosphere, becoming part of the same design language as the bath and brassware.
Every product in this project, from the freestanding bath to the custom taps and radiator, was selected not simply for its standalone beauty but for its ability to support the integrity of the entire space.
Close collaboration with the interior designer allowed us to align all elements in visual rhythm and proportion, unify the materials and finishes, and ensure that each functional piece also carried aesthetic value.
Frederiek Van Pamel’s interiors are known for their orchestrated eclecticism, where bold choices and layered textures come together with remarkable cohesion.
Our role was to make sure that the brassware, baths and radiators did not merely fit into this vision, but actively elevated it.

Where Design is Woven into Craft: Van Apers × Kenny & Mason
Joris Van Apers’ design signature is built on a deep commitment to beauty and authenticity in every choice of material, in every meticulously considered detail.
His love for characterful materials, precise lines, and refined finishing is not just aesthetic: it’s a philosophy.
Van Apers sees design not as decoration, but as atmosphere, spaces that do more than look good; spaces that feel like home.
He searches out materials with soul; wood with grain, metal with texture, stone with history; and he melds them with handcrafted artistry so that each project becomes a quietly powerful statement about comfort, authenticity and timelessness.
From Concept to Reality
In collaboration with Kenny & Mason, Van Apers’ artistic vision moves beyond the conceptual stage and into finely crafted reality.
Joris Van Apers designs the taps and fittings, which Kenny & Mason then bring to life with their exceptional craftsmanship and technical precision.
While the faucets bear the signature of both designer and maker, the overall interior architecture and atmosphere ; from layout and material palette to lighting and finishing; are entirely the work of Van Apers.
He shapes the full spatial experience, ensuring coherence and emotion in every detail. Kenny & Mason translate specific elements of his vision into high-quality, functional design objects that integrate seamlessly into the refined environments he creates.
Together, they form a partnership where creativity and craft meet to deliver spaces that are not only visually stunning, but holistically designed and flawlessly executed.
Why the Collaboration Shines
This partnership works because Van Apers and Kenny & Mason share more than complementary roles; they share values.
First, there is authenticity: both believe that materials should express their true nature, whether it is the warmth of natural wood, the rugged elegance of stone, or the subtle sheen of metal.
Second, there is craftsmanship: from small details like the joint between two boards to large strokes like the choice of space‐defining surfaces, each element is crafted with care.
Third, there is precision: Van Apers’ designs demand that Kenny & Mason not just build, but build well; each angle exact, each finish impeccable.
And all of this is in service of creating something deeply human: environments that feel alive, rooted, and lasting.
The Result: Atmosphere in Full Form
Together, Van Apers and Kenny & Mason turn vision into lived experience.
The taps, expertly crafted by Kenny & Mason and designed by Joris van Apers, perfectly complement the bespoke furniture and interiors designed and created by Joris Van Apers in his own studio.
Together, they create a harmonious balance where carefully chosen materials, light, and form come together seamlessly.
The result is a warm, timeless atmosphere that invites living, comfort, and genuine feeling of home.
A room becomes more than a room; it becomes a refuge.
A piece of furniture becomes more than an object; it becomes part of a story.
When ideas are rendered in artisanal hands, the outcome is enduring beauty—not flashy trends, but spaces and objects that age well, that invite touch and reflection, that embody elegance without sacrificing warmth.

A quiet dialogue between tradition and modernity
In the heart of Antwerp, elegance and modern comfort meet in a remarkable apartment designed by Vesper Projects.
For this residence, every detail was carefully considered, from the architectural layout to the finishing touches. Creating a space where timeless style feels both contemporary and inviting.
Kenny&Mason was proud to collaborate on this project, providing bespoke brassware that elevates the interiors with refined craftsmanship and enduring beauty.
In close partnership with Taps&Baths, our fittings were carefully integrated to align with Vesper Projects vision, adding character while ensuring long-lasting functionality.
The stunning photography capturing this project was taken by Tijs Vervecken, whose eye for detail brings the space to life.
A shared philosophy
The apartment’s design embraces clean lines, natural materials, and a warm yet understated palette. Here, our polished finishes complement stone, wood, and soft textures, striking the perfect balance between sophistication and comfort. From the kitchen mixers to the bathroom taps, each piece contributes to a harmonious flow throughout the home.
What makes this collaboration so special is the shared philosophy: quality over trends, detail over excess. Vesper Projects brought a sharp architectural eye and contemporary sensibility, while Kenny&Mason enriched the interiors with products rooted in heritage craftsmanship.
With Taps&Baths as a trusted partner, the process was seamless, resulting in an environment that feels personal, timeless, and distinctly Antwerp.
Subtle Luxury in Detail
Against the refined backdrop of the Antwerp apartment, dark old brass fittings paired with black porcelain handles were thoughtfully integrated throughout the space.
Each tap, mixer, and valve adds both practical function and a refined tactile detail, enhancing the overall experience of the interior without overwhelming it.
These fixtures, inherently luxurious, are carefully restrained, allowing the architect’s vision to remain at the forefront. Their warm, patinated tones and contrasting black porcelain accents draw the eye just enough to emphasize the interplay between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.
Vesper Projects
The apartment was conceived as a careful balance between intimacy and openness, merging modern functionality with subtle references to traditional craftsmanship.
Every element, from spatial layout to material selection, was deliberately considered to create an interior that breathes, while maintaining a sense of refined elegance.
The design emphasizes layering, of materials, finishes, and spatial experiences. Resulting in a home that feels both meticulously curated and comfortably lived-in.
By weaving heritage-inspired elements into a contemporary framework, the project achieves a cohesive, timeless interior that reflects careful thought and design intention at every turn.

A Warm Retreat in the Heart of Damme
In the picturesque town of Damme, a modest house was transformed into a unique second home that radiates both charm and tranquility. What started as a complete rebuild near the water evolved into a project shaped by patience, creativity, and a love for authentic craftsmanship.
The interiors, beautifully captured by photographer Claude Smekens, unfold as an interplay of volumes, rooflines, and natural finishes, where every detail—from reclaimed wooden beams to classic nickel fittings—reflects timeless elegance.
Every corner tells a story: reclaimed wooden beams that carry history into the present, natural finishes chosen for their timeless appeal, and carefully curated details that give the house its distinctive soul.
Within this setting, classic fittings by Kenny&Mason bring an added layer of refinement. Their warm patinated finishes and timeless silhouettes harmonize beautifully with the rustic textures and natural tones, underlining the balance between authenticity and understated luxury.
Timeless Nickel Accents
From the kitchen to the bathrooms, each tap, mixer, and valve brings a subtle glow and a quiet sense of sophistication. The finish catches the light beautifully, highlighting textures and surfaces while adding depth and visual interest to every corner of the home.
Unlike chrome, polished nickel offers a warm, luminous sheen that gently matures over time, developing a richer patina that adds to the home’s layered, lived-in elegance. Its understated glow creates a timeless feel, bridging the gap between classic style and contemporary design.
These fittings harmonize effortlessly with the natural materials, reclaimed timber, and carefully considered details in the interiors, tying together traditional craftsmanship with modern refinement. The result is a cohesive, elegant environment where every surface and fixture feels thoughtfully curated.
A Kitchen Designed for Living
At the heart of the home, the kitchen balances practicality with aesthetic appeal.
Brushed wood cabinetry, carefully painted in soft hues, is paired with a solid surface countertop and integrated appliances, while the polished nickel kitchen bridge tap becomes a striking focal point.
Every element has been chosen to enhance both workflow and atmosphere, blending modern functionality with classic, timeless details.
The result is a space that is not only beautiful to look at but a joy to live in, reflecting the same careful attention to materiality and finish that defines the entire home.
Refined Elegance in the Bathroom
The bathroom extends the same sense of timeless authenticity found throughout the home. Here, polished nickel fittings take center stage once again, their soft, silvery sheen offering a warm and inviting alternative to chrome. Over time, the finish develops a subtle patina, enriching the space with even more character and depth.
A freestanding porcelain basin paired with a wall-mounted mixer creates a striking focal point, blending heritage-inspired craftsmanship with everyday comfort. The muted wall tones and tactile natural finishes enhance the calm, understated atmosphere, while the thoughtful placement of each element ensures both elegance and functionality.
This balance of refined detailing and durable design reflects the homeowners’ vision perfectly: a bathroom that feels serene and timeless, yet practical and built to last.
The Finishing Touch of Old Brass
The final touches in this project come in the form of the Old Brass taps, which bring authenticity and warmth to the space.
With their gently aged patina and tactile presence, these fittings recall traditional craftsmanship while remaining fully functional for modern use. The soft, golden tones create a subtle contrast against porcelain basins and natural materials, reinforcing the sense of a lived-in, timeless home.
Every detail, from the curves of the lever handles to the finish itself, has been chosen to celebrate heritage and character. In this way, the Old Brass taps not only serve a practical purpose but also tie the interiors together, leaving a lasting impression of understated elegance and enduring quality.

Crafted for Character
Step into a bathroom where timeless materials meet a free‑spirited way of living — a space where craftsmanship and creativity come together effortlessly. Nestled on the border of Belgium and the Netherlands in a restored 17th‑century courtyard estate, this Bohemian‑inspired interior exudes character, textured walls, natural light, and handcrafted brass fixtures.
All captured in vivid detail by photographer Claude Smekens, whose lens reveals the soulful charm and expressive warmth of every finish, curve, and detail.
The bathroom mirrors the home’s soulful charm. It blends heritage with personality, textured walls, natural light, and handcrafted brass fixtures that feel both nostalgic and fresh. Thoughtful details, from sculptural taps to soft, aged finishes, create a warm and expressive space that invites you to slow down and unwind.
This is not just a bathroom, it’s a story told through design. A quiet retreat full of warmth, patina, and personality, where old meets new in all the right ways.
Tailored Elegance in Brass
One of the standout features in this bohemian-style bathroom is undoubtedly the freestanding bath.
Brass sheets are carefully shaped by hand, allowing full customization of the bath’s form. Whether you prefer a straight edge, a single high back, or a double-ended design, each bath is made to measure, reflecting both craftsmanship and personal style.
But customization doesn’t stop at the shape. The finish of the bath can also be fully tailored.
From a rich aged brass patina to a sleek tin-plated surface or bold, custom colours, both the interior and exterior of the tub can be designed to suit your space and vision.
The Discovery Bath Mixer
Paired seamlessly with the freestanding bath, the bath mixer from our Discovery collection stands out as a sculptural centrepiece in the space. With its bold silhouette and signature teardrop-shaped handles, it strikes the perfect balance between heritage charm and contemporary elegance.
Crafted from solid brass and finished in a warm aged patina, this mixer doesn’t just complement the bath, it elevates it. The finish picks up the natural tones of the room, enhancing the cozy, bohemian atmosphere with understated luxury.
More than a functional fixture, it’s a refined design statement. Built to last, beautiful to behold, this is what timeless craftsmanship looks like.
Taps with a Twist
Just steps away from the brass bath, another standout feature draws the eye, the bespoke basin tap. Inspired by Kenny&Mason’s Discovery collection, this piece was thoughtfully adapted in both height and detailing to perfectly complement the elevated, surface-mounted basin and reflect the room’s bohemian elegance.
In place of the collection’s signature porcelain levers, this version features our Barbra handles, a sleek, bar-style control that introduces a bold, modern twist. It’s a subtle update, but one that gives the classic 3-hole layout a fresher, more contemporary feel.
Crafted from solid brass with the same attention to detail that defines all Kenny&Mason pieces, this tap strikes the perfect balance between style and function. In a room full of character, it’s one of those refined details that quietly transforms the space.

A Natural Match in Style and Craft
Tucked along Germany’s Baltic coastline, The Cozy Hotel in Timmendorfer Beach, offers more than just a seaside escape. It invites guests into a world of refined coastal nostalgia, where every element is carefully considered. Opened in June 2017, the hotel was reimagined by Labs Design to echo the grace and charm of nineteenth-century Baltic bathing resorts.
This sense of history carries through every part of the hotel, and nowhere is it more present than in the bathrooms. Designed as serene sanctuaries, these spaces offer a quiet nod to the past while delivering the comfort expected by today’s travellers. To help bring this vision to life, Kenny&Mason was invited to supply sanitaryware that would reflect both heritage and quality.
The result is a seamless collaboration focused on authenticity and craftsmanship. Our Traditional collection, with its elegant silhouettes, solid brass fittings, and handcrafted porcelain accents, proved to be the perfect match. Each bathroom feels timeless, personal, and thoughtfully composed, enriching the guest experience with understated luxury.
A Bath Made for Relaxation
One of the standout features in the bathrooms at The Cozy Hotel is the elegant Countess bath. Crafted from quaryl, a material known for its strength and silky-smooth surface, this crisp white tub is more than just a beautiful centerpiece. It invites guests to unwind and enjoy long, luxurious soaks in total comfort.
Its classic silhouette aligns seamlessly with the hotel’s light and breezy coastal aesthetic. Set against soft tones and nostalgic details, the bath adds a refined yet relaxed presence to the space.
Completing the ensemble is a freestanding chrome bath tap from the Kenny&Mason Traditional collection. With its polished finish and graceful curves, the tap brings a touch of timeless elegance. Together, the combination feels warm, inviting, and effortlessly in tune with the character of the Baltic seaside setting.
Crafted for Character
True to the spirit of bespoke design, every porcelain detail in The Cozy Hotel’s bathrooms was carefully customised. Handles, levers, and tap indices were all adorned with the hotel’s name and logo, creating a subtle yet striking brand presence throughout the space.
These personal touches go beyond aesthetics. They deepen the hotel’s sense of identity and bring storytelling into every corner, allowing guests to feel part of something considered and unique.
For Kenny&Mason, it is exactly this level of detail that defines meaningful design. It reflects our shared passion with The Cozy Hotel for craftsmanship, authenticity, and thoughtful personalisation. Together, we created spaces that are both elegant and deeply memorable, where every element feels tailor-made and timeless.
Accessorised to Perfection
From toilet roll holders to robe hooks, towel rails and more, every Kenny&Mason accessory is available in finishes that match your taps. Whether you choose chrome, old brass, nickel or another finish, this careful coordination brings a sense of balance and elegance to the entire bathroom. It goes beyond simple function to offer visual harmony in every corner.
Our heaters and towel warmers are just as thoughtfully designed. Available in the same luxurious finishes, they offer warmth and comfort while blending effortlessly into the room’s overall look. Whether you prefer an electric system or a connection to central heating, we can tailor the solution to your needs without ever compromising on design.

Boutique LuxuryTimeless Elegance in the Heart of Bruges
In the heart of historic Bruges, a former notary’s residence has been thoughtfully transformed into The Notary, an elegant boutique hotel that blends timeless charm with refined luxury. This remarkable renovation was brought to life through the creative vision of renowned interior designer Pieter Porters, who curated every detail with care and sophistication. For the bathroom and sanitary fittings, Porters partnered with Kenny&Mason, whose expertise and measure-made products helped shape the elegant and cohesive atmosphere that defines the hotel today. The beautiful imagery throughout the project was captured by photographer Claude Smekens, highlighting the craftsmanship and character that define the space.
The Notary offers a selection of individually styled suites, each with its own character and story, all tied together by a sense of understated elegance and timeless comfort.
Morian Suite
One of the highlights is the Morian Suite, shown in these images, where classic design meets contemporary luxury.
Stepping into the Morian Suite is like entering a world of subdued opulence. The space is richly layered with textures, warm tones, antique touches, and custom design elements that mirror the soul of the building’s past. Yet, it’s the bathroom thoughtfully crafted as a sanctuary within the suite that truly elevates the experience.
The Morian Suite at The Notary is more than a place to stay, it’s a place to feel immersed in history, comfort, and beauty. Thanks to Kenny&Mason’s craftsmanship, the story told within these walls flows effortlessly from bedroom to bathroom, leaving a lasting impression on every guest who visits.
Belfry Suite
At The Notary, the taps are not merely functional elements, they are integral to the overall design language of the bathrooms, adding a sense of cachet and a refined, almost Burgundian elegance to the space.
Across eight individually styled suites, Kenny&Mason elevated the concept of luxury by delivering bespoke solutions that seamlessly merge form and function.
Kenny&Mason played a vital role in shaping the identity of these spaces, supplying custom-made brass fixtures, baths, basins, and accessories tailored to the vision of interior designer Pieter Porters. Every piece reflects a dedication to craftsmanship and timeless aesthetics.
Among the standout features is the show-stopping lion’s head tap. This striking element was brought to life through advanced digital modeling and 3D printing technologies, transforming an artistic concept into a tangible masterpiece.
The level of detail is remarkable, from the finely sculpted mane to the expressive features of the lion’s face, evoking both strength and grandeur. When activated, water flows ceremoniously from the lion’s mouth, turning an everyday ritual into an extraordinary experience.
Thanks to Kenny&Mason’s in-house expertise and collaborative approach, every element was designed to the highest standards. The result is a collection of suites where luxury, craftsmanship, and storytelling converge in perfect harmony.

Natural materials, soft tones, and clean lines create a calm and elegant space. Every detail works together in harmony, offering stylish comfort without excess.
A highlight of the suite is the bathroom, where Kenny&Mason’s solid brass taps take the spotlight. These hand-finished fixtures are built to last, developing a unique patina over time.
Due to true craftsmanship and detail, Kenny&Mason’s taps, sinks, and accessories blend seamlessly into the suite’s natural design. Their fittings add refined quality to a space meant for relaxation.
The Cloister Suite offers a tranquil kind of luxury, it feels personal, timeless, and full of character. Kenny&Mason’s presence makes the bathroom a place to slow down and enjoy each moment in comfort.
