Building on the success of its award-winning concrete washbasin WEDGE, HighTech has now introduced its new Ammonite model created in the shape of a fossil.

The unique design was inspired by the archaic beauty of ammonites combined with the organic qualities of concrete.

Colours and sizes
Available in several colours, this washbasin can be produced in lengths between 90 cm and 300 cm with a standard depth of 56 cm. The basin can be installed either with a table-mounted or wall-mounted tap. Drainage fittings are included.

History
Ammonites are an extinct species of cephalopods which lived in the sea about 400 million years ago. Their shells are found all over the world and they are very much sought-after by fossil-hunters, their collector’s value depending on size and the state of preservation.

The fascinating shape of ammonite fossils – which resembles a rolled up helix – is the basic design element in the new HighTech washbasin.

The association of water and fossil design is a clear allusion to the prehistoric inspiration for the Ammonite washbasin.
