french designer gwenole gasnier has conceived ‘un lavabos’, a sink that can adapt to everyone. the common basin has been re-imagined with a simple alteration to accommodate all walks of life – a cut along the body of the piece to allow it to tilt according to the user’s height. by rocking around an axis, the design can be positioned to cater for a standing and seated adult or children, and subsequently locked to secure into place.
