Re-released Calma Vessel Sinks

We are excited to announce the return of some fan-favourite sinks! The best part is, they are all in stock and ready to ship!

Returning to the Calma line-up are:

Gabrielli – Gabrielli’s smooth lines and traditional shape bring a sense of comfort and solidity to any bathroom. Its generous size and classic symmetry are in perfect harmony. Gabrielli’s practical nature keeps rogue splashes confined within its spherical bowl, while the artisanal composition of hardwearing mineral rock promises an easy-to-clean, non-porous and hygienic surface. The artistic perfection extends further to the high-quality UV resistant Gelcoat, which retains shine, protects colour and seamlessly synchronizes with surrounding surfaces such as wood and rock.

Vecchi – A masterpiece of the Renaissance, the graceful and elegant Vecchi makes an exquisite statement. Despite the delicate appearance of a flower petal, the Vecchi is deceptively mighty. Made from environmentally friendly dolomite rock, the bonding resin content enables the basin to hold weight, maintain its shape and resist damage. The silky, hygienic, non-porous surface accumulates heat, giving guests a warm, pleasing sensation. Both light and dramatic, just like the virtuoso himself, Vecchi is a popular choice.

Martini – A compact classic, the Martini is an exquisite complement to any en-suite or powder room. The bold square exterior is juxtaposed by smooth melodic curves creating a sense of balance and equilibrium. It is through innovative cast marble technology that such meticulously precise edges can be achieved. Sophistication through simplicity, Martini is perfect for a quick rinse. The robust dolomite rock can withstand the test of time, retain its clean-cut gleam, and will not stir when shaken.

Bassini – Bassini’s solid round shape and deep bowl are an illustrious addition to bathrooms and en-suites. The superior cast marble process ensures absolute precision and accuracy along the spherical edge, while the high walls confine splashes or sprays. The fade-resistant, environmentally friendly materials preserve the gentle sheen of the surface, subtly reflecting natural materials surrounding the bowl. The flawless symmetry of the bowl is matched with first-class functionality, a combination worthy of a standing ovation.

Built to last a lifetime, this awe-inspiring sink is made from natural, environmentally friendly rock and coated with a UV gel-coat layer guaranteeing a perfect finish for years to come.

Second on the list is our new Puccini featuring a matte black exterior with the same smooth shape, a great way to add dramatic flair to your bathroom landscape.

A Short History of Sinks

Vessel sinks are everywhere these days and we thought we would shine some light on this bathroom feature’s history, beauty and practicality!

The popularity of vessel sinks appeals to the traditionalist as well as to the innovator. It reminds us of the old basins and pitchers and yet allows us to take advantage of modern materials and create elegant, inspirational and durable designs. Whimsical or practical, elegant or massive – the choice is yours. Rather than a boring sink that matches your toilet and tub, you can now make the sink the focal point of your personal creation. Vessel sinks are beautiful, practical and let you express your personal style!

The History of Vessels, Sinks, and Basins

Basins… have been around since the beginning of civilization – an indentation in rock served as a washbasin for our forefathers. Our English word basin comes from the old French word baçon, meaning shallow vessel or dish. Those basins were just basins and didn’t have a drain or plug or other conveniences. What we call sinks are in fact ‘basins’ from which the water ‘sinks’.
The term sink likely comes from the old English term ‘sincan’ – to become submerged, go under, or subside. Originally it referred to the place to where the contents of your basin would sink.
Which brings us to vessel. This term comes from the old Latin ‘vascellum’ meaning vase or urn or ship.

All in all, just as words adapt through time, so do style and design trends. Which is why classic, elegant, conversation-starting vessel sinks are today’s best choice.

Our Calma Collection

ICO carries a line of vessel sinks called Calma. The name Calma recognizes that, for most of us, our bathrooms should be a relaxing retreat from the daily hustle, a place of relaxation. A place of calm.
