Designer Arthur Kenzo has created the Parentheses Sink, which is designed to resemble the brackets in a parentheses. The sink even comes with a matching chair that the user can pull out from underneath and [sit on](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitter-chair).

The idea is that when the chair is pushed in, the pair will look artistic and colorful together. The Parentheses Sink would liven up [any bathroom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-bathroom-design) and create a more cohesive feel to a [matching sink and chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volta-1) concept.
