The “Siah” freestanding washbasin stands somewhere between sculpture and function — a silent totem for the rituals of cleansing. Designed as a minimal yet tactile object, it inhabits both domestic and public interiors — homes, hotels, offices, and restaurants — carrying with it a quiet sense of material dignity.
Carved from raw stone slabs left in their natural shadow tones, each piece bears the mark of its origin — veins, fractures, and the slow memory of pressure beneath the earth. A distinct finishing technique bridges machine precision and handcraft, creating a texture that is neither wholly industrial nor entirely organic.
This piece, created for and exhibited at the 4th “Objet” Exhibition, was shaped around the intrinsic qualities and capabilities of its material. The central concept is a celebration and homage to stone, one of the most natural and ancient materials in the history of architecture.
Siah received the A’ Design Award 2023-2024, in the industrial design category.
