The Design

About TuttoTondo Lavabo

TuttoTondo est un lavabo monolithique de luxe qui allie le raffinement du marbre au charme high-tech de l'acier. Le concept naît de la volonté de faire du lavabo le point d'appui autour duquel prend forme la salle de bain, à l'instar de l'ancien lavabo de la chambre. Le système se compose d'éléments en marbre reliés entre eux par des viroles en acier. Ceux-ci peuvent à leur tour accueillir une série d'accessoires de différents types et tailles, tels que des miroirs, des étagères, des conteneurs, qui enrichissent l'esthétique et la fonctionnalité de TuttoTondo, complétant le concept et le rendant configurable selon les besoins les plus différents.

Unique Properties: TuttoTondo is a marble washbasin made up of 3 modules for the column and an element for the washbasin. These components are joined together by steel ferrules which, in addition to ensuring the tightness of the modules, allow the application of a series of accessories, mirrors, shelves and containers, specially designed for the system. The variety of accessories and the modularity of the system allow you to configure the washbasin in a multitude of combinations suitable for every need
Dimensions & Packaging: Installed: W 450 mm x D 450 m x H 850 mm
Packaging: Wooden case
Tags: washbasin, luxury, bathroom, marble, steel, carrara, tech, modular
Production Technology: cnc for the marble and watercut for steel
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was to maintain a minimal aesthetic while associating the simple shape of the washbasin with a very technical system of accessories. The division of the washbasin into blocks, thanks also to the current CNC processing technologies, allows easier serial production and less waste of material.
Research: After evaluating the market trends in the bathroom furniture sector, the attention was focused on luxury washbasins by identifying a common factor: 99% of the projects exclusively concern a monolithic object, never equipped, attached to the wall or close to it. The idea was that equipping the sink with a system of accessories, from the mirror to the shelf, was possible make it independent from the wall, suitable for any place and usable from any side.
Inspiration: The washbasin is almost exclusively placed next to a bathroom wall to which we apply a series of accessories (mirrors, shelves, small containers, etc.). By designing TuttoTondo I freed the sink from the need for a wall, recalling the historic image of the basin revisited in a contemporary key and complete with accessories.
Project Duration: Project started in December 2020, finished February 2021
Operation Flow: TuttoTondo is a modular marble washbasin consisting of 3 elements for the column and a washbasin element. These are joined together by steel ferrules that can be equipped with a series of accessories of various types (mirrors, shelves and containers). The modularity of the washbasin allows, together with the system of accessories, to freely configure the washbasin according to the most diverse needs, both at the time of purchase and over time.
