Serafini's Piano Washbasin: Marble Slab Design Conceals Drainage Through Gaps
By
Alyn Griffiths
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
Italian brand Serafini has developed the Piano washbasin, a high-end bathroom fixture made from a rhythmic row of marble slabs that cleverly conceals drainage through gaps between the slabs. The design was originally conceived ten years ago by architect Johannes Budde during his architecture studies and is now shortlisted for the Dezeen Awards 2025 in the product design (bathroom) category. The washbasin represents a sculptural yet functional approach to bathroom design for luxury interiors.
