KENSHOÂŽ The Kensho sink unites cultures by combining decorative Japanese stitching, known as sashiko, with the Italian acqueforti etching technique, resulting in gorgeous shapes and textures that add a touch of the sublime to any space.
Introducing two stunning stone sinks that act as functional works of art for the bathroom. Kensho sinks offer modern forms inspired by nature and minimalist designs influenced by Eastern motifs and textile patterns. With their sinuous silhouettes and simple decoration, Kensho redefines a utilitarian product. Kensho consist of two sinks styles: The Round Vessel and the 28inch Oval Trough, as well as an optional drain cover accessory. Both shapes feature a pattern etched into the stone’s surface inspired by Japanese decorative kimono stitching technique, Sashiko. Both sink styles are offered in two natural stones: Grey Foussana and Biancone. The intricate pattern is etched into the surface of the stone, employing a labor intensive acid etching process performed with handmade stencils. The pattern etching is then filled in with a metallic-champagne gold finish, a delightful pairing with either gold or silver faucet finishes. KohlerŽ is the only sink manufacturer applying this technique to a stone material, and the result is certain to be the focal point of any space. With their unusual design, superior materials and unique cultural references, Kensho sinks have a story that’s all their own.

DESIGN SHANGHAI 2019 NEW HANDLE-FREE SIEMATIC PRESENTED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ASIA SieMatic’s appearance at DESIGN Shanghai meant two premieres at once: Firstly, SieMatic was present for the first time at the most important trade fair for high-quality designer products in China. On the other hand, the new handle-free SieMatic was presented live in Asia for the first time - an absolute highlight of the fair. On all four days of the fair, many visitors crowded the SieMatic booth; queues and sometimes long waiting times were gladly accepted to see the four exhibited kitchens - above all the new handleless SieMatic for its market launch. The SieMatic China team organised and implemented the trade fair together with SieMatic Germany. Many new potential partners and potentials were inspired by the SieMatic brand. DESIGN Shanghai focuses on trade visitors, but on the last two days it is also open to interested customers.

Geesa Accessories
A USER-FRIENDLY, VERSATILE AND INNOVATIVE ADDITION TO THE BATHROOM Geldrop, March 2019 – the new Multibasket from Geesa is unique of its kind. The basket can be mounted on the wall and used in two different ways: as a basket or a shelf, forming a recess on the inside. This versatile accessory is made of high-quality plastic, with a matte exterior and glossy inside surfaces. The concealed fitting makes the Multibasket appear to float. A subtle drainage slot ensures no water remains inside. In addition, the Multibasket is simple to remove, making it easy to clean. Geesa’s Multibasket has a surprising extra function. Not only can it be used as a basket on the wall, but also as a shelf with a recess. The basket form provides spacious storage for shampoos, scrubs and large bottles, leaving the bathroom neat and tidy. The shelf form creates storage in the recess for smaller pots and bottles. This use also lends itself to the stylish presentation of attractive care products, such as complimentary hotel amenities. The subtle drainage slot means this accessory can also be effortlessly used in a wet shower or bath area.

Decorative Texture Interior by home design
A stone feature wall stands proud inside our first textured home tour; the unique apartment has a total area of 86 square metres, located in Luzern, Switzerland. This interior is a great example of how to prevent a very neutral and pale room aesthetic from becoming boring, by putting a variety of textures to play. Add slatted window shutters to cross a large expanse of glass. Choose unique floor lamps with rattan or crinkled paper shades. Provide contrast on a durable natural woven rug with smooth round coffee tables.

You can even use plants to add texture to a room. Green foliage is a perfect way to feather sharp edges, or you can use dried specimens like this Pampas grass for softer colour. This flourish of grass matches the natural tone of a modern accent chair in the corner of the room.
The same set of textures can be translated into any room of the home. Take a look at how the stone and wood slatted shutters from the main living spaces also apply in the bedroom.
Our second inspirational home has a total area of 50 square metres, located in Kyiv, Ukraine. In here, all of the walls are perfectly imperfect because they have been finished with tactile clay. Architect Sergey Makhno explained: ‘We appreciate the Wabi Sabi philosophy and saw imperfect things as beauty. This apartment shows natural irregularity and calmness, love for natural materials and shapes.�
