Salvatoriofficial Balnea - Freestanding Basin
BALNEA FREESTANDING BASIN
BALNEA FREESTANDING BASIN
Designed By Elisa Ossino
A solid column of natural stone, with the top area carved out to create the soft curve of a basin, this is a truly sculptural piece which brings elegance and sophistication to the bathroom.
Available in Bianco Carrara, Crema d’Orcia, Gris du Marais® and Pietra d’Avola, it bears the inimitable touch of its designer Elisa Ossino who created the entire Balnea collection round the sculptural quality of natural stone.
The basin is a beautiful focal point on its own or can be matched with other pieces from the collection, which comprises shower trays, bathtubs and storage solutions.
DESIGNER
ELISA OSSINO
Elisa Ossino is a Sicilian-born, Milan-based designer and architect who has collaborated with Salvatori for a number of years, creating with us a host of collections that embrace the world of interior design in its entirety.
Collections such as the Proiezione series of tables, the enduringly popular Omaggio a Morandi decorative pieces and Intarsi family of wall art all bear her hallmark elegance and deft touch.
Among the most recent work we have undertaken together is Utopia, her trio of miniature houses as part of The Village, a multi-designer initiative that explores the concept of home as a haven, interpreted in a contemporary key.
A small-scale replica of the multi-cultural, eclectic world we inhabit, the series of diminutive sculptures inject a sense of familiarity and intimacy into any room of a home.
Elisa studied at Politecnico di Milano. In 2006, she founded Elisa Ossino Studio, focusing on residential and retail interiors, product design, art direction and set design.
Her work combines geometric abstraction, monochromes, metaphysical and surrealist references, creating a coherent and allusive relationship between light, objects and space, identified by the strong feature of her sign.
To inspire Elisa’s compositional style is a figure of scenic suspension, recurring in the weightless design of each intervention. Essential lines and geometries are the distinctive features of her designs, giving a profoundly theatrical feeling to the space they are located in.

WOOD
-Please avoid using detergents on wood and always dry it carefully after cleaning to prevent streaks or patches forming. -Remember that wood is a natural material and can be delicate and photosensitive. Exposure to light, heat or damp may cause slight discolouration or minor adjustments in size, but this is entirely normal and shouldn’t be considered a defect.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
-All our finished products leave our Tuscan premises pre-sealed. Since we do not like to paint the surface of our lovely stones with transparent paints or resins, we apply three coats of the highest possible level of protective sealant. This helps to preserve the product without compromising the wonderful natural look and feel of the stone. -That said, please bear in mind that there is no sealer on the market that can make natural stone 100% stain proof, especially if you leave the staining agent on it for a prolonged period. The sealant acts as a temporary barrier that allows you to have a few hours between the moment a staining substance (for example, wine or coffee) comes into contact with the stone and the moment you wipe it off. The important thing is to act quickly before a substance is absorbed into the stone, as that is when it causes staining. -Please DO NOT use cleaners containing abrasive cleansers, ammonia, bleach, acid or even those “homemade remedies” made from lemon, vinegar and the like -If you are a particularly assiduous cleaner or you have difficulty removing a mark, you can use specialist stone cleaning products and, if to set your mind at rest you can periodically apply a new coat of sealant. For cleaning stone, wood and metal, simply use a soft cloth with water or a neutral detergent
