TAKI

Taki is an unprecedented washbasin, a poetic tribute to the natural movement of water. Its name, which means “waterfall” in Japanese, encapsulates the essence of the project. “Taki, as a visual metaphor, evokes the movement and expression of water as seen in nature, where it is collected in a pond or lake, flows, and is then channeled again,” explained designer Oki Sato of Nendo. Composed of three ceramic elements of different sizes, connected by a light steel structure, the washbasin unfolds in a refined interplay of balance and motion. The slight offset of the basins creates a harmonious sequence, reminiscent of small cascading terraces. Taki is design that moves: a meeting point between nature, form, and poetry.
