In The Frame: Antique-Inspired Washstands

Characterized by their elegant frames, these new washstands reinterpret early 20th century designs for modern day bathrooms.

Designed by Roberto Lazzeroni, this sculptural wood washstand is part of Antonio Lupi’s Il Bagno Collection of bathroom fittings and furnishings that evoke early twentieth-century designs.

The Agora collection by Milan-based architects and designers Ludovica+Roberto Palomba for Italian bathroom brand Kos is an adaption of a bathroom collection from Zuchetti.Kos’s archive that was originally designed in the 1930s. Elegant and sculptural the tub and basins are made from Cristalplant®, an innovative and versatile composite material that’s characterized by a velvety touch and matt finish, while the faucets combine tradition with modernity; the perfect equilibrium between past and present.

Comprising a smooth oval-shaped basin perched on a polished chrome stand, Agape’s Ottocento collection is available in both wall-mounted or metal-framed versions. In keeping with a clean, modern aesthetic, the matching taps offer an up-to-date look of the classic cross design.
