Naturalistic Wooden Washbasins

The 'CONE INVI' Washbasin Brings a Textural Touch to the Bathroom

— May 4, 2019 — Art & Design
The 'CONE INVI' washbasin is a naturalistic fixture for the home that is crafted from an unexpected material to infuse a touch of texture into the bathroom. Crafted from a wood slab, the countertop sink vanity is paired with a black steel drain to add a dramatic touch, which is inset into the rectangular basin for a more modern finish. The unit has also been outfitted with a small planter section on the opposite side to house small succulents or other greenery.

The 'CONE INVI' washbasin is the design work of Germany-based Tischlerei Paul Neumann, GmbH and is the winner of the 2018 Red Dot Design Award. The design speaks to the need for dedicated naturalistic finishes for the home as consumers seek to bring a touch of the natural world indoors.
