Beam

The Beam console, designed by New York studio Visibility, uniquely combines architectural elements with the bathroom interior. Inspired by a steel I-beam, it is made of solid ash wood. Its dimensions allow the perfect use of space to put away everyday items. The console is available in two lengths and two colors .

The basin comes in three colors: classic white, terracotta and dove gray. Studio Visibility is known for its innovative approach to creating functional forms.

"Beam is a collection that enriches the space of the home, through the individual characteristics and style that have been given to objects of everyday use,"

Rise

The form of the Rise console echoes the design elements characteristic of the architecture of the beginning of the last century. The form refers directly to the best patterns of modernism.

The shape of Rise washbasins is formed by interpenetrating simple forms: a plane and a cylinder. The lump of the washbasin seems to float on the surface of the countertop like a sheet of water.The source of the idea for the Venetian studio Zaven was precisely the observation of boats submerged in the waters of its channels. Both the countertop and the basins integrated into it are made of Cristalplant Biobased. The basins are available in oval and round versions in various configurations: integrated with the countertop, half built-in or free-standing.

A permeation of forms characterizes the style of the Zaven studio. In the words of Enrica Cavarzan and Marco Zavagno

"... we strive for maximum consistency, relying on simple geometric shapes. In our designs, solids intermingle to create new forms."
