Taking inspiration from the Ancient Egypt, AMDL CIRCLE has designed three new washbasins for antoniolupi, true works of high craftsmanship.
The collection takes shape in the game with classic and noble materials such as bronze and wood, assembled through design solutions that draw on ancient and valuable techniques, giving rise to column washbasins with sculptural shapes, precious and unique.
Fabric ropes and staples connect wooden strips, while cast bronze is shaped into a conical and grooved shape. Ramses, Teti, and Cheope, as ancient monuments, emerge from the ground and take on the value of autonomous works.
Ramses is a column basin where the dark bronze of the top is combined with the black finish oxidized effect of the wooden elements that, vertically arranged and connected with fabric strings, make up the stem.
Teti column basin is made of walnut wood and steel. The walnut components, arranged vertically, cover the entire volume of the basin, and are connected to each other by means of metal clips. The wood, ancient and precious, is worked and sewn in a modern solution, which tells a story of tradition and craftsmanship.
The third washbasin Cheope, designed by AMDL CIRCLE, is a freestanding bronze sculpture with a golden patina, made with the casting technique. The washbasin sits on top of the conical volume, which tapers progressively towards the base. The shape originated by the fusion increases the plastic effect, enhanced by the incidence of light on the bronze.
