A certain theatrical resident gave Warwickshire, England, its "Shakespeare's County" sobriquet. But it's also home to BlissHome, the manufacturer and distributor of upbeat essentials for kitchen, bath, and beyond. The company has signed on London-based designer Bodo Sperlein to fashion its own first line. Using tones to winning effect, bisques, whites, and organic shapes dominate Sperlein's ceramic and porcelain bathroom collection. The sculptural Wall Mirror, 13¼ inches high and 10 inches wide, swoops down to include a ledge, handy for stowing dental floss, tweezers, or a petite bud vase. The Soap Dish, 6 by 4¾ inches, and Storage Tray are rendered in identical elliptical forms. Modern conveniences take a bow in the pyramidal Electric Toothbrush Head Holder, 3 inches long and high, while a stainless steel pump tops the footed 8-inch-tall Soap Dispenser. The Toilet Brush and holder, 17¾ inches high by 5 wide, are so seamlessly combined, they look like one sinuous vase. A 3¾-inch-diameter essential-oil burner, a lidded Storage Jar, and a pair of Tumblers round out the nine-item medley.
