MERLYN is expanding its ARYSTO range with ARYSTO Stone, a new shower tray due to launch on 1 October 2026.
The product extends the ARYSTO collection beyond shower glass and enclosures and gives MERLYN a broader presence within the premium bathroom market. ARYSTO Stone combines a natural stone-effect finish with practical features intended for everyday bathroom use.
The tray has been designed around texture, comfort and functionality. Its surface is slip resistant, while the non-porous construction is intended to support hygiene and durability. MERLYN has also focused on the tactile quality of the product, positioning the tray as a more noticeable part of the showering experience rather than simply a functional base.
The design draws on biomimicry, using qualities associated with natural materials as part of the product’s development. In practice, this means combining the appearance and feel of stone with features suited to a modern bathroom environment.
ARYSTO Stone will be available in four colours: Midnight Black, Pebble Grey, Calm White and Natural Sand. The range gives MERLYN coverage across a variety of contemporary bathroom styles, from darker architectural interiors to softer, more natural designs.
The launch also supports MERLYN’s positioning around wellness-led bathroom design. The company is responding to demand for bathrooms that place more emphasis on comfort, materials and sensory experience. Natural textures and softer visual finishes are increasingly being used to create spaces focused on relaxation, and ARYSTO Stone has been developed to fit within that approach.
The product has also been named a finalist in the SBID International Design Awards 2026.
