There are countless washbasins on the market today, each with its own design. However, the designers behind "Angle" sought to reimagine this essential bathroom fixture. Their goal was to create a design that not only looked visually appealing but also concealed the typically unaesthetic drain hole, while still providing all the necessary features and a well-thought-out cleaning system.
The standout feature of the washbasin "Angle" is its ability to make the water appear as if it is dissolving into the sink. This optical illusion is achieved through the clever positioning of the edges of the washbasin, creating a visually stunning effect when in use.
The washbasin "Angle" boasts several unique properties that set it apart from other designs. Firstly, it features a hidden drain system, ensuring that the drain hole remains out of the user's view. This not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also adds to the user-friendly experience. Additionally, the washbasin is made from a composite material, specifically an acrylic-based artificial stone with a quartz crumb mineral pigment. The drain hole is concealed by a decorative plate that opens with a simple click.
The production process for the washbasin "Angle" is industrial, involving the casting of the composite material. This method ensures a high-quality finish and durability.
With dimensions of L 900mm x B 400mm x H 100mm, the washbasin "Angle" is designed to fit seamlessly into any bathroom space.
Grigory Malitskiy and Maria Malitskaya, the creative minds behind the washbasin "Angle," conducted extensive research to understand what people desired in a washbasin. They discovered that many individuals view the bathroom as a place of relaxation and sought a design that would not irritate the eyes or evoke unpleasant emotions. Respondents expressed a preference for a simple, minimalist washbasin without unnecessary details, particularly wanting to avoid noticing the drain hole. This insight led the designers to tackle the challenge of concealing this integral yet unattractive element.
The "Angle" washbasin was born out of the desire to offer a new perspective on a familiar object. Its sleek and minimalist design ensures a pleasant and enjoyable user experience, while the hidden drain system adds a touch of elegance. The illusion of water dissolving into the sink creates a captivating visual effect, making this washbasin a true standout in any bathroom.
The washbasin "Angle" has received recognition for its outstanding design. In 2014, it was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design category. This prestigious accolade is given to designs that demonstrate exceptional creativity, technical expertise, and innovation. The "Angle" washbasin's remarkable level of excellence and ability to evoke positive emotions make it a worthy recipient of this esteemed award.
