The new JTP EVO ridged basins are available across four popular and contemporary colourways, from Brushed Brass and Brushed Black to Matt Black and Brushed Bronze.

A bathroom basin should be functional, but it should also be aesthetically pleasing and eye-catching. Featuring a bold ridged linear design, JTP wanted to create a product that was unique and would serve as a focal point to the bathroom.

A basin should contribute to the overall aesthetics of a space and the new EVO collection of basins perfectly defines that. Whether partnered with neutral hues for a natural warmth, or with darker colour palettes for a dramatic statement, the basins create a striking statement within bathrooms of all styles and sizes.

With many homeowners desiring a spa-like experience in their bathrooms, opting for a basin with the ‘wow’ factor can contribute to this style. The EVO basin collection complements a contemporary space particularly well, but with homeowners of traditional spaces increasingly embracing bolder designs, the collection can also work for other styles of home.

“At JTP there is no compromise on manufacturing. The process starts from the design stage, where only top raw materials and parts are used in their products. We manufacture products with the consumer in mind – so whatever the style of design, ultimate quality comes as standard.” comments Jeevan Seth, CEO, JTP

Kast has launched the new Wave collection, which includes designs named Tilde, Dune, and Prim. This contemporary collection breaks away from the confines of conventional lines and embraces the joyful liberation of curves. Channelling the exuberant spirit of the Italian Radicalism and Postmodernism movements, Wave captures the essence of individuality and playfulness.

Nestled at the edge of Sherwood Forest in the UK, Kast is a design-driven powerhouse known for crafting unconventional concrete wash basins. Imbuing their line of innovative wash basins with a new dimension of style, Kast’s Wave collection ushers in a fresh perspective, celebrating the charm of undulating forms and whimsical silhouettes.

“The curved shapes not only add a touch of whimsy but also creates a contrast with the angular lines present in our living spaces,” says Tim Bayes, Kast Founder. “Each basin is designed to serve as a vibrant centrepiece, its unconventional form infusing the bathroom with a sense of delight and creative energy.”

Tilde features an integrated splashback that gracefully reflects the curvature of the bowl, creating a delicate interplay of light and shadow that enhances its form. With a design that seamlessly adapts, Tilde can be easily mounted on walls or surfaces and pairs perfectly with a wall-mounted tap.

As for Dune, it offers the flexibility of either surface mounting or wall hanging, while vessel basin Prim, exclusively designed for countertop placement, completes the range with its understated elegance.

Starting at an RRP of £1,750/$2,625/€2,100.

The collection is available to order at kastconcretebasins.com and is distributed worldwide. As with all Kast products, Wave serves as a testament to British ingenuity. Crafted with the utmost dedication, the collection features the finest concrete sourced from local Derbyshire limestone and undergoes meticulous hand-finishing by a team of skilled artisans.
