The 'Cenote' washbasin collection has been designed by Patricia Urquiola for Agape as a series of bathroom fixtures for consumers to choose when updating their space. The sinks are crafted out of lava stone to give them a rigid form, which is evident from the exterior thanks to their intentionally rough aesthetic. The interior of the sinks, however, are finished with a smooth form and gloss to contrast nicely with the the stoney exterior.
The 'Cenote' washbasin collection consists of two size options and five styles to choose from, which are each slightly different given their natural form. The sinks get their name from the Mexican word for natural underground reservoirs to further enhance the naturalistic function and form of each piece.
