Morrow, GA -- Artistic enlightenment finds its way to the undercounter basin with TOTO’s newest additions to its high-art Waza Collection. These new couture basins are ringed with designs that draw their inspiration from both Western and Eastern cultures. From the floral, fluted design of lace found on aristocratic wedding dresses during Europe’s Baroque period to the embroidery of ancient Persia, with its interlacing, carefully controlled geometric patterns, these new basins’ decoration updates the ancient designs for the modern era.
“TOTO’s new Waza undercounter basins please the eye with their simple, understated elegance,” said Lenora Campos, Ph.D., company spokesperson. “Each unique, the three designs are versatile, enabling you to add distinctive touches to your bath that range from the traditional to the contemporary.”
Fired into the porcelain, these distinguished adornments remain a permanent illustration of good design, which never goes out of style. Influenced by Baroque designs that represented wealth and patrician refinement, the Waza Barocco’s design reflects the delicate stitching of wedding dresses worn by the ladies of the upper classes, which has been updated for today.
The Waza Sultana sink draws its design inspiration from the reinterpreted Moorish patterns that gained its popularity in early 19th century America. Its repeating geometric forms and fancifully combined continuous patterns provide an unending circle of beauty that will complement the décors of bath spaces that range from traditional to contemporary and everything in between.
Drawing inspiration from early Persian textiles, Waza Tiraz with its interlacing, repeated geometric design, recalls the principles of order that govern the natural world. These principles include the bare basics of what makes objects structurally sound and, by extension, beautiful. Waza Tiraz updates these early styles with a contemporary flare to grace your bath today.
