# Record Player-Inspired Sinks The 'Santuri' Washbasin by Pasque Dudley Mawalla is Retro By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-10-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/santuri-washbasin References: [homecrux](https://www.homecrux.com/santuri-washbasin-works-like-a-record-player/132570/) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/pato.casa.official/) The 'Santuri' washbasin has been designed by Pasque Dudley Mawalla as a premium fixture for the bathroom that draws aesthetic inspiration from the audio equipment from yesteryear. The sink features a two-tone design and is paired with a tonearm-inspired faucet that creates the look of a record player for enhanced visual intrigue. Shifting the tonearm into the basin area will activate the flow of water, while moving it outward will turn it off to make the process of accessing H2O much like putting on a vinyl record to play. The 'Santuri' washbasin conveys a high-end look, feel and functionality that brings a playful approach to the everyday experience within the home to keep consumers of all ages entertained.
