Pipa by Carlo Colombo for Antiolupi.

Eternity of nature

Carlo Colombo considers stone the natural element par excellence and a synonymous of the eternity and the greatness of nature.

Pipa is a standing washbasin made of Carrara marble. It's designed to stay in the middle
of the room with standing taps and fittings. It was drawn by Carlo Colombo and is a
statuesque monolith with an irregular form. Pipa, if you see it frontally, has an overturned L shape that seems to aim at beguiling the force of gravity. On the contrary this washbasin, thanks to the material it is made of, becomes stable and elegantly sophisticated.
