Chiffon Pink Toilet & Basin Cloakroom Set | Shires Opus

Make a bold, nostalgic statement with this genuine Chiffon Pink toilet & basin set. This coordinated cloakroom suite features the playful yet sophisticated “Chiffon Pink” glaze—a soft, high-gloss pastel that epitomises the optimistic design trends of the late 20th century. Manufactured by Shires Bathrooms, this set includes a high-performance back-to-wall pan and the critically acclaimed Opus basin and pedestal.

Design Heritage | The Opus Collection

The centrepiece of this set is the Shires Opus basin, a model of significant historical importance in British manufacturing:

• London Design Centre Selection: When the Opus range was first released in the 1980s, its sleek, minimalist lines were so revolutionary that it was selected by The London Design Centre for its excellence in British design.

• Sleek Retro Aesthetic: The basin features a sharp, clean profile that feels remarkably contemporary, bridging the gap between 80s maximalism and modern minimalism.

Modern Functional Compatibility

While the aesthetic is purely retro, the technical specifications allow for seamless integration into modern plumbing systems:

• Back-to-Wall Toilet Pan: This sleek pan is designed to sit flush against a wall or furniture unit. It features a standard horizontal outlet, making it compatible with modern waste pipes.

• Concealed Cistern Ready: The pan is designed to be used with a modern concealed cistern (hidden behind a wall or inside a furniture unit), allowing for a clean, streamlined look in small cloakrooms.

• Basin Configuration: The Opus basin is designed to accommodate standard modern taps, giving you the freedom to choose chrome, gold, or even matte-black brassware to complete the look.

Condition and Quality

Both the toilet and the basin set have been carefully reclaimed and inspected to ensure they meet our high standards for restoration:

• Very Good Condition: The vitreous china has been professionally cleaned and polished, retaining its vibrant “candy floss” pink lustre.

• Structurally Sound: Guaranteed to be free from major chips or cracks, providing a hygienic and durable solution for your home.
