The Equilibrium of the Freestanding basin

O_O realizes the design research of Bartoli Design to achieve balance. Equilibrium both physical and design: two cylinders with very different proportions that combine to give rise to a family of washbasins. A welcoming and decidedly horizontal tank that overlooks the column with considerable overhang.

The intention to re-read the type of column washbasins in a contemporary key is expressed in the misalignment between the support and the basin: net cylinders, which each declare their specific function and have no connections. Moreover, with this geometric composition Bartoli wants to express iconicity and presence through simple and legible forms.

The Design studio thought of the "slip" to create at the same time a seat for the tap outside the water container - which remains a large and clean cylinder - or a small support plane on the cylindrical column when the tap is positioned at wall or floor.

Freestanding basin, available in Corian or in the new marble: Marquinia and Carrara Gioia, which have the new treatment Acid Shield: a revolutionary protection coat studied againt acids, colorants and grease, it permits to mantain the netural chromatici aspects on marble.

Acid Shiel is a revolutionary protection for marbles and stones conceived against acids, colorants grease. It coats any material with an invisible satin-like shield without altering its natural chromatic aspect and protecting it from stains, etches and losses of brillance and color.

This treatment has been developed internally by our partner and is applied by the firm on marble slabs and surfaces, but also on 3D-shaped or caved objects. Acid Shield is certified by the Marmo di Verona Laboratory in compliance with UNI EN 12720 regulation (Assessment of surface resistance to cold liquids.
