ACQUA

The pure lines of the ACQUA basins show the essential relationship between stone and water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

VASQUES

 
 

THE BASIN, FROM LATIN VASCUS -EMPTY, IS A LARGE AND SHALLOW CUP, AN ORNAMENTAL BASIN THAT RECEIVES WATER FROM A FOUNTAIN, A WATER STREAM.

In the kitchen, our sinks are available in 2 sizes : large and flat, compact and deep. The « Cuve », vat, from Latin Cupa, -large wooden or stone container, round and hollow, intended to contain water. The « Auge », trough, from Latin Alveus -long and shallow basin, recalling the hollow stone where horses and animals eat and drink. In the bathroom it is a round basin. The « Lavabo », from Latin lavabo -I wash, round basin intended for the toilet.

MARBLE

 
 

SOFT, VEINED SKIN.

The velvety grain, the smoothness of the finish meet the density of the object. Matter is matt, natural, intense.

FULL & EMPTY

 
 

EACH BASIN IS CARVED INTO A SOLID MARBLE BLOCK.

The work of the drawing is to find the shape adapted to the function. The large flat sink is a working space in the kitchen. We complete it with oak boards. It is used to wash, cut, sort, assemble. The deep circular sink, is used to soak, wash, rinse. They are used alone or as a duo. The curves of the washbasin provide softness and pleasure of the water.
