Corian Wash Basins – Dune Basin from Omvivo

Dune Corian wash basins, from Omvivo, were inspired by the natural beauty of sand-dunes. The undulating surface reflects the constantly evolving dune landscape, going against the often rigid, straight lines of bathroom furniture. Instead, the Dune wash basin appears as a soothing and soft presence in the bathroom. It is also practical – the flat side ledge is designed for storage. The surface of the Corian basin, available with a left or right hand bowl, is polished and glossy. Dune is made in Australia, by Omvivo, and will add a tranquil finishing touch to any contemporary bathroom environment.

Another nature-inspired sink design you’ll just love: the Abisko washbasin from Eumar.

Cool Vessel Sinks and Faucets from Gessi

The right combination of cool vessel sinks and fabulous faucets is the priority for Italian design experts Gessi. Harmony comes from the balanced, organic shapes. The faucets in this collection are clearly inspired by drops of water slowly forming on the end of a water spout. The bulbous, yet delicate, drop-shaped end of these taps is a modern look with a sense of humor. Likewise, the cool vessel sinks are stylish, but don’t take themselves too seriously. The freestanding vessel sinks taper surprisingly towards the bottom. They appear to stand upright, as if magic, on a curved bottom! The hottest trends inspire Gessi’s concepts for the bathroom environment… contact them for more information.

Hansa Minacor Washbasins

Harmony infuses the new Hansa Minacor Washbasin series. Made from the ground-breaking new mineral material Minacor, the basins are warm and velvety to the touch. But much more than that – Minacor is a hard-wearing sink surface that offers new ways of realising the form of a washbasin. The HansaCanyon, HansaMurano and HansaLatrava washbasins feature cleverly integrated outlets for water. These mirrored by the form of the matching faucets to give each basin even more style! HansaCanyon is characterised by a slim, rectangular geometry. Precise lines restrain the water within the faucet until it flows freely from the spout, to slip away down the neat, systematic channel in the middle of the sink. HansaMurano, on the other hand, is all about curving lines. A circular channel runs around the perimeter of the sink. The intriguing faucet is topped with a transparent halo of glass. This contrasts with, yet complements, the steel faucet structure. HansaLatrava faucet juts out at an angle, creating a lovely waterfall effect. The basin harmonises beautifully with a mirror-image impression of the faucet. Show your own style in your bathroom – contact Hansa to find out more.

Abisko Washbasin from Eumar: the beauty of conservation

Breathtakingly brilliant in glacial white… the Abisko Washbasin from Eumar is a totally new concept for our modern lifestyle. In these environmentally-conscious times the cast mineral marble washbasin Abisko brings us back to nature. Inspired by the unspoilt waterfalls of the Swedish National Park Abisko, the sink is unfettered by pipes. Nor does it allow water to accumulate in a big tub, something designers Johan Kauppi and Lars Sundström deem unnecessary. Rather, one should be aware of just how much water one is using, and catch it with careful consideration. An extraordinary, sculptural piece, the Abisko washbasin captures the freshness of mountain streams as water cascades down the length of the sink to slip away down a discreet floor-level grill. Living with an awareness of our limited resources, surrounded by cherished objects… these are the keys to happiness offered by the Abisko Washbasin from Eumar.

Modern Sinks & Sink Art from Bandini

The Ocean series of modern sinks from Bandini are like interactive bathroom art for the user to explore. So sculptural, yet entirely functional, the eye-catching organic forms bring to mind the soothing motion of ocean waves. The rippled surface is realised in ‘technoform’ – which is a modern resin that is at once both hard-wearing and lustrous. The Ocean wash basin is available in two colors, black and white, and two sizes which can be combined into different formations due to their modular nature. A truly fascinating arrangement, shown in the pictures here, involves combining four basin areas to make a washing area suitable for up to four simultaneous users. As shown, the faucets descending from the ceiling highlight the unusual formation. The single and double sink options are also iconic options for smaller spaces. By Italian bathroom experts: Bandini.
