Kohler has another winner with the Yin Yang wading pool lavatory. The sink sports clean lines on a polished white surface. I particularly enjoy the shape of the basin being very much different than a traditional oval or round sink. Another great feature is the shorter depth of the basin which gives the sink a crisp modern feel. I also like the simple look of the brushed nickel faucet.
Once again I am straying away from the furniture and bringing you something that I would love to share with you because its just plain cool. The Madera bathtubs sculpted by hand from choice solid woods are a true combination of design and beauty. The W S Bath Collections are all stunning from the wood to the stone and their Kali' Art series which combines wood leather and acrylic for a more modern futuristic style. In addition to bathtubs they make lavatories, washstands, and bathroom furniture to complete your bathroom transformation.
We have all heard the saying; don't get caught in the rain. That is of course not the case when it's the Ambient Rain of the overhead Water Tile system. From Kohler comes this soothing concept that combines water and light making a great experience out of a necessity. Each of the four heads has 54 nozzles that gently cascade water for a unique shower experience.As if that was not enough, integrated chromatherapy gives a sequence of mood enhancing lights for a complete concept.
I know this blog is primarily a focus on furniture but lately I have seen so many new innovations such as accessories and bathroom fixtures that I had to pass them along. Here is the Ring Faucet from designer Sun Liang. It is ultra modern with its clean lines and polished chrome finish. Available in two styles, a straight, and a curved L shape for different applications.
I have a true respect for artisans that can take natural elements and transform them into beautiful works of art. Stone Forest has created unparalleled hand carved Japanese and contemporary sculptures and water fountains since 1989. They use a myriad of stones from granite, marble and travertine which gives their work structural integrity that man made materials cannot provide. Each piece is carved with hammer and chisel and bears the character of the rock as well as the inspiration of the stonecutter. The presence of this timeless beauty gives your home or garden the hint of eternity. Stone Forest specializes in sinks, fountains, furniture, bath tubs, sculptures, and table ware. Equally impressive are the hammered bronze and stainless items that have an obvious hand made character with hammer marks, solder points, and minor oxidation suggesting old world craftsmanship.
