Adamsez Meridian One | Ultra-Rare 1970s Mid Century Bathroom Suite

Secure a masterpiece of British design history with this Adamsez Meridian One suite. Dating from the early 1970s, this collection is an incredibly rare survivor of the “Space Age” aesthetic that briefly transformed bathroom interiors. Known for their experimental and high-end collaborations, Adamsez produced the Meridian One range for those seeking a futuristic, minimalist silhouette that still feels revolutionary over 50 years later.

A Complete 3-Piece Set in “New Old Stock” Condition

Remarkably, this set has never been installed and remains in “like-new” condition. The suite comprises:

• Back-to-Wall Toilet Pan: A stunning, floor-mounted unit with smooth, eccentric curves and a seamless rear profile designed to sit flush against a wall or vanity.

• Matching Bidet: Mirrors the futuristic geometry of the toilet pan for a perfectly coordinated aesthetic.

• Wall-Mounted Basin: A minimalist dream, this basin features no tap holes, designed specifically for sleek wall-mounted faucets to maintain its uninterrupted lines.

Material: Heavy-Duty Fireclay

Unlike standard vitreous china or earthenware, all three pieces are crafted from heavy-duty fireclay. This premium material is fired at higher temperatures for longer periods, resulting in an incredibly dense, durable, and impact-resistant ceramic that is built to last for generations.

Optional Period-Correct Brassware

To maintain the integrity of the original design, we have the original brushed chrome taps and wastes for both the basin and bidet available for purchase at an extra cost. These fittings perfectly complement the “Meridian One” aesthetic and are essential for a truly authentic 1970s restoration.

Why Choose the Meridian One?

The Meridian One is more than just a mid-century bathroom suite; it is a piece of architectural history. Its “eccentric” design and smooth, handle-less appearance make it the ultimate focal point for a modernist home or a brutalist restoration. Finding one piece from this range is difficult—finding an unused 3-piece set is nearly impossible.

Delivery & Collection

Due to the significant weight and rarity of the fireclay construction, collection from our workshop is strongly preferred. However, specialised delivery can be arranged at an extra cost using bespoke, high-protection crating.
