Fluid Transparent Basins

The Volta Sink by GlassDesign is Sleek and Minimalist

The Volta Sink is fluid and transparent, just like the water that comes pouring out onto it. In fact, when first presented with the basin, it wouldn't be surprising if people irrationally thought that the water would pour right out of the Volta Sink. Of course, this is due in large part to the floppy lip at the forefront of the design.

Clean and contemporary, the minimalist Volta Sink was created for Italian manufacturer GlassDesign. Paired with an equally simple faucet, it is perfect for small bathrooms that could use such illusions of invisible fixtures. Crafted out of glass, the delicate look of the Volta Sink is nevertheless countered by its heat-treated surface, which makes it much stronger than it first appears. The curved silhouette adds a decorative touch to bathrooms.
