You Don't Want to Lose a Contact Lens in this Sink - Neatorama

Bypass clogged pipes with the Abisko Washbasin from Eumar. I remember seeing something similar to it at the newly-renovated terminal of the Jacksonville International Airport, where you could also get a Brazilian waxing for $65 while waiting for your plane to depart. Which is a good idea, because I can't tell you how many times I've thought to myself "Hey, l should go down to the airport and get a Brazilian waxing." But I digress: waterslide sink, coming to a floor drain near you. Nifty, eh?

wow, you can pee there also :D

My college roomates would have disputed the notion that one required a special sink to pee into. Our ordinary bathroom sink suited them just fine.

Everyone else apparently preferred the elevator.

chic but not practical

It does make me want a urinal in my bathroom

How is it impractical? It's not like people will be needing a basin at a public restroom. I probably use a half cup worth of water at the sink when I wash my hands. I think it's clever.

now you can wash your feet after washing your hands!

Practical for a public sink. I was thinking more in terms of home use. Besides washing my hands the main things I use my bathroom sink for is shaving and brushing my teeth. I dont think this sink would be suited very well for either of those activities.

Kids would love this.

Johnny Cat:

Think about it....it's not practical at all.

First of all, nobody fills the sink with hot water anymore...especially in a public bathroom.
Also, the water coming off the end is going to splash off the "drain" onto the floor making a big mess. Not to mention cleaning the stupid thing.

But it does look cool...

Just want to say how much I like the upcoming cue feature. Thanks!!

Don't knock the brazilian wax services at the airport - as someone who's been in long-distance relationships before, that would have been an amazing way to save time prior to getting on board!

You think you can really handle a flight after having every hair below the belt ripped out? Seems like it would be uncomfortable :D

looks cool but not practical.

if you think it's practical, ask yourself this question: would you want to mop up the mess this is going to splash all over your floor?

Poo water-slide FTW!

Actually, you can get an airport Brazilian in 8 locations inside New York's JFK airport and two at LaGuardia. And Amsterdam Schiphol, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Pittsburgh Intl., Philadelphia Intl., San Francisco Intl., Orlando, Las Vegas, Boston Logan, Raleigh-Durham, Detroit Metropolitan, Houston Intercontinental...etc.

Love the concept, although that's a lot more surface area to clean up of toothpaste stains :p

So close, but it has never had water run through it. A bit longer on the left with a touch higher slope. A spout on the right with a grate parallel to the flow instead of perpendicular.

Ah well, someone will perfect it someday.

It's made for art, i haven't see real in my country.

How long before the floor drain is clogged by hairs, bits of paper towels and all the other crap you find in public restrooms? How thorough will the cleaning staff be? My bet is that this thing will look nifty for about three days, then it will be one of those 'looked like a good idea at the time' failures.

This is just an irresistible target to vandalism...

Although peeing in it was the first thought, the second thought was what other unusual uses could this be put to. I wonder if it's strong enough for the weight of two people.

For those hypothesizing about the "splash/mess" left on the floor, I am sure the designer allowed for a solution to that possible problem in the creation of the sink's shape. I doubt there is much floor mess.

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

It's hideous.

Gail Pink, the floor mess will start as soon as the drain starts being blocked by whatever dirt will collect underneath the grille. And even in the perfect state shown in the picture at least some water will splash. If the place is not cleaned virtually after every other user, it will look shabby very soon, with either water around the drain or the stains you get when soapy water dries on glossy surfaces.

All these brilliant people who know better than everyone else, and yet, I see nothing worthwhile in the comments.

As with yours HM. As with yours. :)

Great for viewing purpose.. but practical, it'd turn out in a bad shape

I thought my comment was worthwhile, HM. I said you could have relations on it.

Lawls Ted. In fact, I believe all the bodily functions that this thing could potentially be used for were thoughtfully covered. It's just a sink after all... ableit one that will make people wonder, "Do I pee on this thing?".

Pretty snappy. I'd want something like that for home use.

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

Maybe combine this with a SmartFaucet?

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

very interesting.
Maybe my friends can make like that

That's very nice and art design, Good Man.

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

Yes, we must be carefull using this art place.
