HANSALATRAVA modern sink

Maybe long ago, when bathrooms were little more than tiny wooden huts in the yard, they could get by as purely functional spaces. But the modern home calls for bathrooms that are relaxing and comforting as well as functional.

HANSALATRAVA

The HANSALATRAVA starts off with a faucet that presents water proudly to the world rather than simply streaming it straight into a basin. The flat faucet looks more like a sculpture than a bathroom fixture as it allows water to cascade down into the elegant basin. A basin which features no central indentation, but rather guides water down on a gentle slope. Both parts of this pair introduce shapes and design elements never before utilized in bathroom fittings.

HANSA refers to the HANSACANYON faucet as having “radical linearity.” Indeed, its 90-degree angle looks harsh until the eye drifts up to the open channel at the top of the fixture. Colored lights illuminate the water there, telling you at a glance what the water’s temperature is. The water falls on a gentle curve into the subtly warped slab below that is the matching basin.

Embracing curves and contrasts seems to be the inspiration behind the HANSAMURANO faucet and basin. A lighthearted, almost playful, approach to design pairs a transparent glass disc on the rounded faucet with a perfectly circular water basin and indented rectangular body. The shapes and elements seen here are not new or groundbreaking; they are simply used in new and groundbreaking ways to create a singularly lovely fixture.

“Tap turned on, water flows: Well, yes, but a modern faucet is much more than that. For instance, it can be operated both manually and touchless. It can be used as a shower or it can be adjusted via Bluetooth. This makes today’s fittings not only very flexible, but especially creative. With useful details, intelligent technology and strong design, the multifunctional fittings from HANSA offer exceptional levels of comfort at your washbasins and enrich your life. Plenty of space for your hands, room to manoeuvre, optional touchless operation and an economical use of our most important resource – water. HANSA faucets fits perfectly to your needs. “
