A Touch of Opulence

Italian designer Massimiliano Raggi brings timeless style to the modern bathroom with his latest creation, the Plissé washbasin column, inspired by the graceful, pleated skirts of the 1920s. The washbasin captures the fluidity and elegance of haute couture in ceramic form, embodying both grace and sophistication. Raggi’s vision draws upon the delicate pleating of a bygone era, transforming it into a functional yet artistic centrepiece.

Crafting Plissé required an intricate and demanding process, with only a select few artisans possessing the skill to sculpt ceramics to the exacting standards required. The washbasin column is an achievement in the balancing of simplicity and refined detail, and is made from high-quality white ceramic, finished with a gold or chrome ring at its ‘waist’. The ring adds a touch of opulence, evoking the draped elegance of ancient Greek attire while also imbuing the piece with modern Italian sophistication.

Each Plissé washbasin seamlessly integrates into any sophisticated interior, enhancing spaces defined by architectural precision. Founded in 1908, Oasis remains committed to innovation, quality and the essence of Italian design, continuing to evolve with contemporary styles while preserving timeless elegance.
