A growing collection from our studio · Updated

Kingsley rectangular mirror in Brushed Nickel with front and back illumination
Origins Living · Kingsley Rectangular. Brushed Nickel finish shown; announced for December.

A discovery from the March show

A mirror we
kept thinking about.

We saw Kingsley at the March show and it really stayed with me. I love finding a detail that makes you stop and think about how a room could feel. The front and back lighting gives us something lovely to explore: useful light at the mirror, with a softer glow around it. I was excited to see the collection coming through afterwards, and it deserves a place in our Couture selection.

Stonium Luma concrete pedestal basin with a projecting shelf in a warm stone-inspired finish

New to our shortlist

Stonium · Luma & Minium

The little shelf on Luma really caught my eye. A pedestal basin with somewhere to put the soap, and a shape that could become the starting point for a room.

· Bathrooms

Enquiries welcome · UK supply, pricing and a showroom display are being explored.

Details & design notes

Stonium makes hand-cast concrete basins, including travertine-inspired finishes. Alongside the freestanding Luma, we are exploring Minium for smaller spaces: a countertop basin measuring 410 × 320 × 145 mm.

A design thought. I would love to see Luma in our Couture area. For a cloakroom, the smaller Minium gives us another direction to explore.

Loutro Irini Mini beige marble basin with a ribbed exterior

Seen at KBB · Revisited

Loutro · Small marble basins

Maja and I loved the Loutro stone basins when we saw them at KBB. The tiny designs stayed with me. They could be lovely in a cloakroom where every centimetre matters.

· Bathrooms

Enquiries welcome · We are revisiting UK supply and showroom display options.

Details & design notes

Our first picks are the round, ribbed Irini Mini and the sculptural Kev Mini. Both are marble; Kev Mini measures 300 × 200 × 120 mm. Natural variations in the stone are part of the appeal.

A design thought. A small basin can still bring real character to a room. I would start with the stone and work outwards to the tap, wall finish and lighting.

A design thought. A lovely starting point for a bathroom where the mirror needs to work hard and still feel considered.
