Here's a little something for the gents who want to accessorize their bathroom with some organizational items (or for significant others who need a Valentines gift) that trend toward a more masculine form and finish compared to the majority of bathroom accessories out there. Stelton's Bath line is what we'd imagine Tom Ford's collection would look like he decided to tackle toilet brushes and a toothbrush holders: sleek, modern, with ample use of black and chrome.
The Stelton X line of bathroom accessories is comprised of a toothbrush holder, small storage box, wall hooks, soap dish, larger storage containers, soap dispenser (which looks almost like a modern-minimal bottle pop top), and our favourite, the toilet brush. Prices range from $34-$60.

Why exactly are these "for men"? Can't women like clean lines, too? In fact the product description says that they are "elegant luxury with a feminine touch." FEMININE. :)
It is sad every design for a "man" has to be black, metal, and simple. There has to be more than one kind of man out there - with different taste in design.
It is only when gender is categorized by parents and society that say, strong bold dark is masculine and light, soft and pale is feminine. When actually great design is fluid and able to appeal to anyone who can appreciate it.
i think these are kind of tacky.
also, what it a bottle pop top?
I like the salt and pepper shakers.
I like these a lot.
"Feminine" = PINK, didn't you know?! (I hate pink.)
The truth is men in proportion prefer certain forms and certain colours, and those happen to be blue, black and silver. This doesn't mean women can't appreciate or like these, neither does it imply men cannot choose to decorate their bathroom in traditionally female colours or forms if that suits their fancy. But nearly everything is designed with a gender in mind (or even when not seemingly so, gender is taken into account to make it "gender neutral"). 3 years designing girl's home decor products woke me up to how hard it is to shake gender categorization...not from the manufacturer/seller's end, but from the perspective of public's expectations and wants. Delineating products to satisfy certain gender can be occasionally frustrating, but in this case, it's appealing to a minority market who could benefit from being included in the purchasing/decorating decisions that has traditionally been assigned to women.
