Kréte is the bold bathroom collection from Whitebirk Sink Company: a sculptural series of basins crafted from concrete which have been designed to bring colour, character and contemporary edge to the bathroom.
Offered in a variety of refined designs and a palette of distinctive colours, Kréte reimagines the bathroom basin as an architectural statement. The collection includes both countertop and wall-mounted options, with each design named after a location in Crete – reflecting the collection’s Mediterranean inspiration and grounding it in a sense of place.
Every Kréte basin is cast from an innovative eco-concrete blend that requires significantly less energy to produce than traditional alternatives, combining lower-impact raw materials with a durable, long-lasting finish. A soft satin surface gives the concrete a smooth, modern texture, allowing for details to appear sharper with minimal reflection from lighting. This refined surface treatment helps elevate concrete from a traditionally industrial material to one with a distinctly contemporary and luxurious feel.
Colour is integral to the Kréte collection. Alongside classic white, the basins are available in warm, earth-led tones and more expressive hues, including burnt orange, forest green, deep blue, tangerine, soft pink and terrazzo – each selected for its ability to complement both minimalist and maximalist interiors.
Kréte is an exciting new design chapter for Whitebirk, a British brand best known for its handmade fireclay kitchen sinks. While rooted in the same ethos of quality, craft and material integrity, Kréte represents a progressive step into modern bathroom design with a range that is fresh, considered and made to last – reflecting a shift in how bathrooms are perceived – no longer purely functional, but increasingly expressive and intentional spaces within the home.
“We wanted to create something that stood out not just for the material, but for the form and finish,” says Steve Allen, Managing Director at Whitebirk. “Kréte is contemporary and impactful. It has presence, without being overwhelming and it’s been designed with modern homes in mind.”
Defined by bold form, refined texture and confident colour, each Kréte basin makes a statement – whether used as a quiet centrepiece or a bolder design gesture.
Kréte by Whitebirk is available exclusively through the Whitebirk Sink Company website and via its global network of retailers with pricing from £669.00.
