Cappitone: A Stylish and Functional Washbasin for Unique Bathroom Environments

Combining Aesthetics and Functionality

The Cappitone washbasin, designed by Genesis Research & Design, is a perfect blend of style and functionality, offering a unique addition to any bathroom. Inspired by the front-view form of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, and the timeless quilted fabric pattern, this washbasin is a testament to Italian artistry and design.

With its stylish and assertive appearance, the Cappitone washbasin creates a sense of privilege in any bathroom. Its special pattern and a range of color options, carefully selected through focus group studies with architects, add beauty and elegance to every detail. The washbasin's thin edges, made possible by the innovative Sharp&Slim technology, further enhance its aesthetic appeal.

Functionality is not compromised in the Cappitone washbasin. The smooth surface bowl ensures ease of use and maximum functionality, while the SterilPlus technology provides antibacterial surfaces, contributing to a hygienic environment. This washbasin is not just a design statement; it is a practical addition to any bathroom.

The production of the Cappitone washbasin involves cutting-edge technologies. The Sharp&Slim technology pushes the limits of traditional ceramic sanitaryware production, resulting in extremely thin edges that add value to the overall design. Special manual molding and retouch processes, along with the use of larger molds for the freestanding part, ensure the precise replication of the unique pattern.

To achieve an elegant finish, a special glazing technology is employed for the metallic colors. Additionally, a specially prepared fixation set is included, making installation easier and more convenient.

The Cappitone washbasin measures 780 mm in diameter and 590 mm in height. It is available in a variety of color options, including White, Platinum-White, Gold-White, Gold-Taupe, Platinum-Black, White-Black, Gold-Black, and Red-Black.

The design project for the Cappitone washbasin began in October 2015 and was completed in February 2016. It was showcased at the Unicera Istanbul exhibition in February 2016, garnering attention and admiration from design enthusiasts and industry professionals.

The Cappitone washbasin is a result of meticulous research and development. Focus group studies with architects helped validate the design's eye-catching and distinctive qualities. Prototypes played a crucial role in the verification of the final design, ensuring its functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The production of the Cappitone washbasin presented several challenges. The Sharp&Slim technology, which pushes the boundaries of traditional ceramic sanitaryware production, required special manual molding and retouch processes. Additionally, the unique pattern necessitated the use of larger molds for the freestanding part, making the production more complex compared to standard ceramic sanitaryware.

The Cappitone washbasin has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design category in 2017. This prestigious award honors designs that showcase creativity, resourcefulness, and technical excellence, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

With its unique blend of aesthetics and functionality, the Cappitone washbasin is a testament to Italian design and craftsmanship. It offers a stylish and functional addition to any bathroom, elevating the overall ambiance and providing a sense of luxury and sophistication.
