Breaking Wave Basins

The Eaux Eaux Sink Mimics the Form of a Seashore Surge

A compromise must be struck when exploring the creative process of biomimicry, and the Eaux Eaux Sink is an exquisite example of a piece that embodies this balance. It would have been too much to sculpt a lifelike breaker wave for a bathroom fixture, so it's this subtle molded shape that hints at its inspiration which truly becomes an masterpiece.

The monolithic form of the gently bowing stainless steel basin has an extraordinary grace and elegance. The beholder can thus appreciate the careful curves of the painted material and the way that the front corners upturn ever so slightly. One of the most thoughtful features of the Eaux Eaux Sink by Joel Roberts is the incorporation of the faucet into the flat rolled metal so that the entire piece undulates in absolute unity.
