A tangible experience
The interface sphere is sunk in, as if it shaped the basin with it’s solid weight. It has a unique physical presence and quality in your hand, allowing water control to be fast and functional with a quick twist, or used as a calm moment of micro-meditation.
Make it yours
All materials are local to Scandinavia, and can be mixed and matched to fit all bathrooms.
