Kartell K-VIT Arc: Is This The Boldest Bathroom Furniture Range in the UK?

There's a moment in every bathroom renovation when you have to make a decision — do you play it safe, or do you go for something that genuinely turns heads? If you're leaning towards the latter, the Kartell K-VIT Arc range might be exactly what you're looking for.

Handleless, bold, and built around a tight palette of on-trend matt finishes, Arc is the range you choose when you want your bathroom to look like it's been designed by someone who actually cares about design. And at Essential Bathrooms, we stock the full collection at highly competitive prices.

What Is the Kartell K-VIT Arc Range?

The Kartell K-VIT Arc is a contemporary handleless bathroom furniture collection that takes a deliberately different approach to the rest of the K-VIT catalogue. Where most ranges offer handles, gloss finishes, and a broad colour palette, Arc strips things back — three carefully chosen matt finishes, push-to-open doors and drawers, and a clean unbroken visual line across every piece.

It's a more considered, more opinionated range than something like Purity. That's not a criticism — it's precisely what makes it the right choice for the right project. If you want furniture that looks like a design decision rather than a default, Arc delivers.

The Arc Product Range

Floor Standing Vanity Units Available in 500mm, 600mm, and 800mm widths at 855mm height and 460mm depth. Two soft-close drawers with push-to-open mechanism throughout. All three widths available in all three finishes.

Wall Hung Vanity Units The same 500mm, 600mm, and 800mm widths in wall hung configuration — the floating aesthetic suits Arc's minimal character particularly well. Soft-close drawers and push-to-open as standard.

Cloakroom Units Compact 500mm cloakroom units in both floor standing and wall mounted options — ideal for downstairs WCs and small en suites where the handleless design maximises the sense of space.

WC Units The Arc 500mm WC unit houses a back-to-wall toilet pan and concealed cistern neatly, keeping plumbing out of sight and maintaining the clean aesthetic throughout.

Tall Units A 1400mm wall mounted tall unit provides generous vertical storage for towels and toiletries without taking up floor space — available in all three finishes.

Mirror Cabinets 500mm and 600mm wall mounted mirror cabinets complete the range, providing behind-mirror storage that matches the Arc aesthetic precisely.

Arc Finish Options

Arc is available in three matt finishes — and only three. That's intentional. Rather than offering every colour under the sun, Kartell have chosen three that work, and made sure they work brilliantly:

• White — clean and versatile without being boring; the matt surface gives it a softer, more considered feel than gloss white
• Matt Graphite — the standout finish of the range; a deep, dramatic dark grey that pairs beautifully with brushed brass or chrome brassware and makes a serious design statement
• Cashmere — a warm, muted neutral sitting between white and grey; understated and surprisingly versatile, particularly good in natural light

All three are matt finishes, which gives the range a consistent, cohesive look across every piece — and matt surfaces tend to show less water spotting and fingerprints than gloss alternatives, which is a genuine practical benefit in a busy bathroom.

Key Features

Push-to-Open Handleless Design The defining feature of Arc. No handles means no snagging, no cleaning around metalwork, and a completely unbroken visual line from one end of the vanity unit to the other. The push-to-open mechanism is smooth and satisfying in daily use.

Soft-Close Drawers Throughout Every Arc drawer unit features soft-close mechanisms as standard — quiet, smooth, and kind to the unit over years of daily use.

Wall Hung and Floor Standing Options Every vanity unit in the Arc range is available in both configurations, giving you full flexibility over the look and layout of your bathroom.

Coordinated Range Every piece in the Arc collection is designed to work together — vanity units, tall units, WC units, and mirror cabinets all share the same aesthetic DNA. Mix sizes and configurations within the range and everything coheres.

5-Year Manufacturer's Guarantee All Arc furniture is backed by a 5-year guarantee as standard.

Key Specifications

Who Is Arc Best Suited To?

Arc has a strong design point of view, which means it's ideal for some projects and less suited to others. It's the right choice for:

• Design-led renovations where the bathroom is a considered space, not just a functional one
• Open-plan en suites where the furniture is visible from the bedroom and needs to look genuinely impressive
• Fans of the Matt Graphite finish — if you're drawn to darker, more dramatic bathroom schemes, Arc is one of the best options at this price point
• Anyone who dislikes cleaning around handles — the push-to-open mechanism genuinely simplifies bathroom maintenance
• Smaller bathrooms and cloakrooms where the handleless design creates a sense of more space

If you love the Arc aesthetic but need more size flexibility or a wider finish choice, it's worth also looking at the Kartell K-VIT Purity range — Purity offers a broader range of widths and finishes while sharing the same quality standards.
