Mia Washbasin: A Perfect Blend of Craftsmanship and Functionality

Unleashing the Beauty of Handicrafts in Modern Design

The Mia washbasin, designed by Marta Malinowska-Gebska, is a testament to the seamless integration of art, architecture, and functionality. Inspired by handicrafts and primitive pottery, this washbasin brings a touch of elegance and warmth to any bathroom.

With its unique form and attention to detail, the Mia washbasin stands out from the crowd. The designer has meticulously crafted the shape to resemble a piece of pottery shaped on a wheel, giving it an organic and handcrafted feel. The characteristic line of the product not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also highlights the precision of manufacturing and the technological possibilities of the material.

One of the standout features of the Mia washbasin is its optimal shape, which guarantees comfort during use. The depth of the bowl provides ample space for various tasks, such as washing hair, while the internal form prevents water from splashing. This washbasin is not only visually stunning but also highly functional.

Made from a recyclable and easy-to-repair material called cast marble, the Mia washbasin combines the natural hardness of stone with the flexibility of resin. This composite material is not only durable and resistant to scratches and aging but also maintains the elegance of natural marble stone. Additionally, the material accumulates heat, allowing water to retain its temperature for longer periods.

Available in four different shapes and a range of colors, the Mia washbasin offers versatility and customization options to suit any bathroom design. Whether you prefer a sleek and modern look or a more traditional aesthetic, this washbasin is sure to elevate the overall ambiance of your space.

The Mia washbasin project, which started in October 2013 and concluded in December 2013 in Poznan, showcases the designer's commitment to innovation and problem-solving. By employing design thinking methods such as mind mapping, brainstorming, and prototyping, Marta Malinowska-Gebska was able to overcome various creative and technical challenges.

Recognized for its exceptional design, the Mia washbasin was awarded the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware category in 2014. This accolade is a testament to the washbasin's outstanding expertise, innovation, and artistic skill.

Experience the perfect blend of craftsmanship and functionality with the Mia washbasin. Transform your bathroom into a sanctuary of style and elegance with this exquisite piece of design.
