WHAT’S THE STORY? From its simple beginnings as a pitcher and bowl, the washstand has come a long way to this luxurious double design suitable for your nearest and dearest. the popularity of twin basins is on the rise thanks to spacious designer hotel-style bathrooms, where you can while away the day, as well as the trend for chic spa fixtures, fittings and associated treatment requirements.
