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.

Basin with Curvy Legs
Since it’s offered in so many finishes, Canal Console fits in with wildly different styles, from the palatial to the minimalistic. The Canal basin is available in standard white and matte black; it also comes in travertino, white carrera, glossy black, steel, gold, copper, terra cotta, and matte white. The Canal legstand is available in white, black, gold, silver, and bronze.
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.
