LAUFEN Pro semi-recessed washbasin

This ceramic washbasin is dropped into the cutout in the washtop from above. The semi-recessed basin stands proud of the narrow space saving top. In hotel bathrooms and anywhere where space is at a premium, semi-recessed basins are an elegant solution to the problem.

March 15th, 2011

This washbasin is part of the LAUFEN Pro bathroom collection which offers good design in many sizes from the small washbasin to the 1050mm wide washbasin – there are over 30 Laufen Pro washbasins in the range.

The LAUFEN pro Swiss designer Peter Wirz from the design group, Process Design, has created a bathroom series optimized to the requirements of the ceramic manufacturing process.

It proves that minimalist forms, high quality and optimum function need not come with a high price tag if they are cleverly produced. The democratic design of LAUFEN pro is the modern answer to the claim that everyone should have a right to good form.

Peter Wirz, Process Design says “Laufen Pro is a design product that has been purposefully created to be good value and which has been optimised for the ceramics manufacturing process”.

Laufen has produced four semi-recessed washbasins within its bathroom collections for your design requirements.
