Tipo-Z basin by Roberto Palomba for Ideal Standard

Dezeen Showroom: designer Roberto Palomba worked with bathroom brand Ideal Standard on this pedestal basin designed to have a statuesque presence in the bathroom.

Tipo-Z's base and basin share a tapered silhouette and are available in black or white and a choice of glossy or silk finishes.

Forming part of Ideal Standard's Atelier Collections, the monochromatic sink is made from fine fireclay, a durable ceramic-based material, which lends itself to technical precision, resulting in sharp, defined edges.

Palomba referenced the brand's Zeta basin – a broad sink released in the 1950s – in Tipo-Z's design, drawing on Ideal Standard's heritage but with a contemporary twist.

"Tipo-Z is not about nostalgia or reinvention, but refinement," said Palomba. "It is based on strong, recognisable geometries that have evolved over time while maintaining their identity."

"For me, design is a matter of choice: to reduce complexity and focus on what is essential."
