Mono: A Masterpiece in Bathroom Design

Guner Donmez's Award-Winning Monoblock Sink Redefines Bathroom Aesthetics

Donmez drew inspiration from the desire to create a design that fulfills its function perfectly while maintaining simplicity and compatibility with other bathroom fixtures. The Mono sink is characterized by its clear lines and soft surfaces, designed to provide a sense of tranquility and ease in today's fast-paced life. The design's unique properties also include its hygienic features, such as the absence of indentations on the outer surface and a hidden installation system, making it easy to clean and maintain.

The Mono sink is not just a product of creative design but also of advanced technology. It is formed by casting fine fire sludge into plaster molds and baked in a 1250-degree furnace. This process results in a product that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable and long-lasting. The sink measures 507mm in width, 480mm in depth, and 600mm in height, making it a substantial piece in any bathroom.

One of the standout features of the Mono sink is its concealed mounting system. The faucet can be mounted on top of the sink, and the sink itself can be hung on metal fixtures in the wall. The bottom of the sink has an opening to allow access to the siphon system, further enhancing its functionality.

The design process for the Mono sink, which took place in Istanbul between August and October 2017, was not without its challenges. The sink's large volume compared to standard washbasins presented difficulties in the forming process. However, Donmez and his team at Newarc Sanitary overcame these challenges, resulting in a design that is both functional and visually appealing.

In conclusion, Guner Donmez's Mono sink is a testament to the power of innovative design. Its simplicity, functionality, and aesthetic appeal make it a deserving winner of the Silver A' Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design Award. The Mono sink is more than just a bathroom fixture; it is a piece of art that enhances the overall design and feel of any bathroom.
