The new Alape washstands Xcut and Xcross dissolve the typical closed cylindrical form of a column washstand and instead present a slender steel frame. The result is a minimalist and lightweight design that is perfect for compact spaces. The distinguishing feature of both series is the X-shaped foot which is seamlessly integrated with the perfectly colour-coordinated round basin. Despite the common design principle, the new Alape floor-standing washstands are distinctive in their expressiveness. The Xcut series is a classic cut-through column design that features an integrated shelf in its frame for additional storage. Xcross brings the X-shaped base into focus with a cross-legged design constructed from flat steel struts. The product is available in a bicolour finish – matt black with a white gloss basin.
