Italian Wanderlust: Canal Console by Hastings Tile and Bath

The Canal Console from Hastings Tile and Bath is perhaps named so because the sinuous lines resemble the bow of a Venetian gondola. This basin with legstand manages to be simple and elegant at the same time; its curvy base has just the right amount of embellishment. It’s luxury without excess.

For those with lavish tastes, the Canal Console in silver with a silver basin is the ultimate in scintillating splendor. The more restrained might opt for Canal in black with a white basin—the legstand then recedes and its ornamentation becomes subtle. Funky, eclectic types can go wild with unusual combinations; a gold legstand with a terra cotta basin might be their ticket.
