I have seen a lot of unusual bathroom fixtures and modern wash basins, but the Abisko Washbasins from Euman is unlike any I have seen before. The cascading concept of this super cool sink was inspired by the waterfalls of the Swedish National Park Abisko and unlike traditional sinks includes no visual plumbing to spoil the look. Designers Johan Kauppi and Lars Sundström created the Abisko Washbasin in cooperation with Eumar to utilize a floor level drain, most fascinating!
The "Supernova" bathroom hardware line from Dornbracht has a fitting name. This contemporary bathroom concept combines futurism with architectural design. The first thing that catches my eye is the stone shape that rises from the ground. This structure harbors the shower though you can see no enclosure in the picture. It was the intent of Sieger Design and architectect Mike Meiré to create an architectural backdrop in the bathroom. Acting as a center piece to the design, the shower rises like a monument from the bathroom floor creating wonderful architectural element. Other inspiration was to create an island effect and place all the water sources in various areas. You can see the sink on the opposite side of the natural rain shower. To the right of the shower seating is the faucet that feeds the tub. Supernova is a unique concept that is really different than most other bathroom hardware lines that are designed to fit flush up against a wall. See more of Dornbracht's products here.

Often sophisticated shower heads with multiple spray spouts require detailed plumbing and pumps that can be expensive, especially if you are retro-fitting a shower that is already in place. The "Shower Arc" from Hansgrohe surrounds you with a total of 6 body spray heads and an over head and hand held Rain Dance feature that offers a rain like spray for an integrated shower with an all in one concept similar to much more expensive shower systems. The multi-head shower system also features a thermostatic valve with built-in volume and diverter, Rain Dance AIR 100 S 3-Jet hand shower with 3-spray modes: AIR, Whirl AIR and Balance AIR, Rain Dance, and a 7" shower head all in one convenient unit. Around $3300 See the entire collection of innovative shower systems, faucets, sinks, and bathroom accessories from Hansgrohe here.
A bathroom glass decorating theme can be done tastefully to add elegance to a bathroom design. This vanity sink features a wonderful glass basin that looks really cool and very much different that the normal "porcelain color" we see day in and day out. Besides the glass work, the vanity and storage cabinet are made of a neutral color oak which compliment the overall appearance of the furnishings. A nice feature in a vanity approach as opposed to built-ins, is that they pieces can be spaced apart. I would also add that free standing models often make a bathroom look a bit bigger. Price: (all pieces shown) $3,944. More information: here.

Here is my pick for the coolest bathroom faucet collection form Graff. There tag line says "cutting edge design" and here is one instance where an exaggeration has not been made. The "Luna" wall mounted lavatory / vessel or faucet and sink as we say here in the states offers a simplistic style that speaks for itself. Since 1922 Graff has been in the business of expanding the visual and structural lines of faucets, fixtures, and sinks for the bathroom, shower, and kitchen.
