Albatros: A Unique Washbasin for the Whole Family

Designed by Tolga BERKAY

The Albatros washbasin, designed by Tolga BERKAY, is a truly unique and functional piece of bathroom furniture. With its innovative design and thoughtful features, it caters to the needs of the whole family.

This washbasin is designed as a family unit, consisting of two separate units. The lower unit, with a height of 40 cm, is specifically designed for children and is also suitable for disabled individuals. The higher unit, with a height of 81 cm, is intended for use by adults. This dual-height design ensures that everyone in the family can comfortably use the washbasin.

The Albatros washbasin features two taps and two separate siphon fittings, allowing for convenient and hygienic use by multiple users. Additionally, it is equipped with a backsplash on the back of the washbasin to prevent water splashes, keeping the bathroom clean and dry.

Constructed using ceramic (Fine Fire Clay), the Albatros washbasin combines durability and elegance. Its sleek design and clean lines make it a stylish addition to any bathroom.

Tolga BERKAY, the designer behind this innovative washbasin, drew inspiration from the wings of the Albatross. Just like the majestic bird, the Albatros washbasin represents freedom and aims to provide a comfortable and accessible experience for individuals with disabilities, the elderly, and children.

The Albatros washbasin project started in January 2013 in Bilecik, Turkey, and was completed in August 2013. It is a testament to the dedication and creativity of Tolga BERKAY and the Bien development team.

This exceptional design has been recognized with the prestigious A' Design Award. The Albatros washbasin was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design category in 2014. This award is a testament to the outstanding expertise, innovation, and artistic skill demonstrated by the design. It showcases a remarkable level of excellence and evokes positive feelings of amazement and wonder.

The Albatros washbasin is not just a functional piece of bathroom furniture; it is a symbol of thoughtful design and inclusivity. With its unique features and attention to detail, it offers a truly exceptional experience for the whole family.
