In short: this ultramodern, minimalist bathroom fixture set from Ceramica CSG shows promise – perhaps one of the free-standing or wall-hanging sinks is worth a second look – but other aspects are downright strange, like the transparent-top toilets.

“Lightness, innovation consistency, cleanliness, are prerogatives contained within the new concept of the GSG ceramic Design. The extreme formal linearity of glass, creates a shell for water connecting the ceramic forms which support the elements in cristal. It is a strong architectural concept: emptiness and transparent overlappings conjointly with supporting ceramic elements, giving one the sensation of intangibility. Cristal evokes faint reflections, always indefinite; ceramic supports the power of gravity creating detectable limits.”

“The GSG Ceramic Design, a company specializing in the production of sanitary ware, was created in 1968, by the founder Antonio Giovannini, in Civita Castellana, the most important ceramic district of Italy. The evolution of the company has led the production of neoclassical models to the current
offer of products with an extremely modern design, unique of their kind.”
