RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project started from a "common" shape. Its main goal was the vital function of the object, without neglecting the visual and emotional impact. The strong will to overtake the extreme lines of ceramic brought to the creation of a basin with "thickness without logic".
CHALLENGE: Severals shapes were experimented and the incredible thickness of 6 mm has been reached for a wash basin extremely actual and conceived for every social environment.
