A few weeks ago I talked about Giquardo Flat Line sinks, pointing out that for me a bathroom sink with a basin of any depth is essentially unneeded. But not everyone feels that way, which is why Giquardo came up with a permutation on their glorious design which is called, aptly enough, the Bowl.

Giquardo has come up with a number of sinks and vanities, all of which occupy the absolutely most minimal spaces possible, and still somehow, infuse that tiny space with a presence all their own. Sinks like these immediately become the focal point of a bathroom.

What I find fascinating about this kind of design is the endless variety of it. Those who do this kind of work must be some of the most creative people on earth, because they can constantly work with the familiar and somehow make it their own. Our case in point is Antonio Lupi bathroom designs.

With the Florakids line, Laufen has succeeded in creating an upbeat, lively, child-friendly environment that fosters a sense of hygiene at an early age. The rounded, attractive shapes are combined with bold colors and inspirations from animal and plant kingdoms. The result is an ideal place for kids.
