Goah, which is dedicated to bath products and belongs to Peronda ceramic
company, commissioned us the design of a new marble sink. The starting
point was open and they gave us a lot of freedom, but we had to bear in
mind that the sink could be sold in sixty countries with different
cultures, and this pushed us to find a common link to all of them.
Nature is a bond we all share, and, therefore, to design this project we
have relied on the natural relationship between water and river stones.
This is a very special relationship because, over the years, both have
been shaping each other, and they are adapting and changing to evolve
together.
The round shapes caused by erosion made us think about a sink like a
stone worn out by streams of water, and with a form as organic and
enjoyable as river stones.
The tradition of placing stones on each other as a signal inspired us to
create a countertop of the same material, with a base that accompanies
and supports the sink forming a high entity set. Following the same
idea, we designed a rounded and asymmetrical mirror, a third stone that
reinforces and completes the group.
The sensations and memories that come to our mind looking at the soft
forms of the washbasin, listening to the sounds of water and, above all,
touching the rounded stone transport us to natural and relaxing
environments, and it makes us feel that we are in the river where they
were created.
