The Barbican Sink was born from a desire to merge architectural history with modern-day craftsmanship. Inspired by the raw, geometric beauty of brutalist design, this washbasin captures the essence of strength, simplicity, and artistic expression. Its name is a nod to the Barbican Estate in London, an iconic example of mid-century brutalist architecture—bold, unyielding, and unapologetically striking. I wanted to create a sink that felt sculptural yet functional, contemporary yet rooted in history. Unlike traditional ceramic sinks, the Barbican is handcrafted entirely out of concrete, a material known for its raw, organic imperfections. Every piece is made without molds, allowing the concrete to take its own natural form, embracing veins, textures, and subtle variations that make each sink one of a kind. The production process is intricate and requires precision, patience, and an intimate understanding of concrete’s unpredictable nature. Each sink is carefully poured, cured, and refined by hand, ensuring a balance between rugged beauty and smooth usability. The color shown in the photos—Off White—was chosen for its warm, understated elegance, though custom colors are always available to match your space. The Barbican Sink is more than just a washbasin. It’s a piece of architectural storytelling, a tribute to the bold aesthetics of the past, and a testament to the artistry of handmade craftsmanship.
