Pedestals and Countertops: Cenote a Colonna, Bloque from Agape

Patricia Urquiola has designed the Cenote a Colonna freestanding washbasin and the Bloque system for Agape.

The Cenote washbasin series now has a pedestal model. In Cenote a Colonna, the circular basin and the linear design of the column merge for architectural continuity. Both elements are crafted from natural or dark refractory clay and are shaped by hand on the lathe, resulting in unpredictable surface variations.

With the Bloque countertop and storage system, Urquiola emphasizes the sensory allure of stones and woods while maintaining a visually open and compositionally rigorous approach. The design rhythm is defined by juxtaposed and perpendicular tops, creating an original staggered movement between surfaces.
