Kartell K-VIT Pure Bathroom Furniture: The Complete Guide

Small bathrooms and cloakrooms have a way of punishing fussy furniture — which is exactly why the Kartell K-VIT Pure range works so well. Clean lines, square edges, a bright gloss white finish and genuinely compact footprints, made in the EU with soft close technology and a 2 year guarantee. Better still, Pure is built around two brilliantly simple products: a WC unit set where the pan, seat and cistern are all included, and a 550mm vanity cabinet with the basin and handles already in the box. This guide covers both, plus the matt black handle upgrade that transforms the look.

The Star of the Range: The 500mm WC Unit Set

Most WC furniture listings come with a catch — the unit is just a box, and the pan, seat and cistern are all extras. The Pure 500mm WC Unit Set flips that: one price includes the gloss white furniture unit (IMP500WC), the Pure back to wall pan (POT266PU), the soft close quick-release seat (POT265PU) and the Kartell concealed cistern with chrome push button (ACC001N).

The unit itself is just 300mm deep — one of the slimmest WC units you can buy — so it conceals the cistern and pipework without eating into a small room. The pan's angular, squared styling matches the rest of the Pure and Trim sanitaryware family. At £267.58 (RRP £486.50) for the complete set, it's the easiest cloakroom upgrade going: connect water and waste, and you're done.

The 550mm Cabinet with Basin

The Pure 550mm Cabinet with Basin is the matching washing station — a two door gloss white vanity with the ceramic basin (POT268PU) included, plus a pair of chrome handles (HAN008) already in the box. Where a pedestal basin gives you nothing but a slim column, this gives you a full cupboard of storage in the same footprint, at £189.20 (RRP £344).

The Matt Black Handle Upgrade

Gloss white and matt black is one of the sharpest small-bathroom combinations there is — and Pure makes it a one-click swap. The cabinet listing has a dropdown to upgrade to the matt black Pure handles (HAN009 x2), and the same handles are sold individually at £11.55 if you're retro-fitting or matching other furniture. Pair them with black taps and a black-framed mirror and the whole room snaps into focus.

Spares and Separates

Because Pure is a long-running Kartell family, the key ceramic pieces are available on their own: the back to wall pan (POT266PU) — with or without the seat — and the soft close seat (POT265PU) as a replacement. Handy if you're refreshing an existing Pure bathroom rather than starting from scratch.

How Does Pure Compare to Kartell's Other Furniture?

Pure is the small-space value specialist — complete sets, compact depths and a bright gloss finish at entry-level prices with a 2 year guarantee. If you're after a statement vanity for a bigger room, the premium Moon, curved Dove, industrial Urban and shaker-style Sanctuary ranges step things up — and for an all-in-one combination run, see the Fusion furniture packs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Pure 500mm WC Unit Set?

Everything: the 500mm gloss white furniture unit, the Pure back to wall pan, the soft close seat and the Kartell concealed cistern with chrome push button. Just add water and waste connections.

How deep is the Pure WC unit?

Just 300mm — one of the slimmest WC units available, making it ideal for cloakrooms, en-suites and narrow bathrooms.

Does the 550mm cabinet come with a basin and handles?

Yes — the ceramic basin (POT268PU) and a pair of chrome handles (HAN008) are included in the price. You can also upgrade to matt black handles (HAN009) from the dropdown on the listing.

Can I buy the Pure seat or pan separately?

Yes — both the back to wall pan and the soft close seat are available individually, which makes replacing a worn seat on an existing Pure suite straightforward.

Pure furniture is made in the EU with soft close technology and carries Kartell's 2 year guarantee; the ceramic pan carries a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

What sanitaryware matches Pure furniture?

Pure is designed to pair with Kartell's Pure and Trim sanitaryware — both share the same clean-lined, square-edged styling for a matching angular look.
