The Cenote washbasin series continues to investigate the expressive potential of clay with the new freestanding model. Both elements and the supporting column are made of natural or dark fireclay shaped by hand on a lathe. The outer surface is deliberately left rough, while in a play of contrasts, the inside of the bowl is glazed and polished. The basins come in two sizes and two exterior finishes: natural or dark earth, both with a transparent glazed interior or creamy white for the natural earth version and blue for the dark version.
