The Rise of the Thin-edged Bathroom Basin

Loved for their strikingly elegant looks, thin-edged basins have taken the bathroom by storm.

Thanks to advanced manufacturing techniques and the production of stronger materials, one of our favourite bathroom trends is the ultra-thin bathroom basin.

We’ve rounded up our top thin-edged basin designs — from enamelled steel material to new kinds of ceramic — to give you the inspiration and information you need to find the right basin for you.

#1: Alape Unisono — Steel bathroom basins

German bathroom brand Alape’s bathroom basins are amazingly thin and strong, thanks to their pioneering glassed steel enameling production technique.

Each Alape basin is pressed from a single sheet of steel before being fired in three layers of tough enamel, making them stylish, durable and eye-catching. They’re also available in a variety of finishes from the unique dark iron which changes based on lighting, to bi-colour matte black and white.
