My significant other and I were recently debating the pros and cons of the increasingly-trendy vessel sinks—“twice as much to clean” she opined, ever sensitive to this impediment. I admitted that I hadn’t thought of that, saying, even so, that the bulk of the grime resides inside the sink rather than out. In the case of the Whittington Collection of Bamboo Vessel Sinks for Signature Hardware, the question is moot, since bamboo shines right up with but a quick swipe of the cloth.

Whittington Collection Bamboo Vessel Sink. Manufactured by Whittington for Signature Hardware.

The Whittington Collection of Bamboo Sinks are Available in Square and Round Styles

As we saw a month or so back with Totally Bamboo, the gracious grass makes an excellent material for outfitting lavatories of all stripes. Bamboo is naturally waterproof; it has the timeless textural and aesthetic appeal of hardwood; and it’s a rapidly renewable resource so it’s environmentally-friendly.

The Whittington Line harnesses the material’s strengths into a sleek, modern collection that imparts a touch of Eastern exoticism yet complements a wide range of bathroom décor.

Whittington’s Square Vessel Sink is somewhat understated, as it accommodates a shimmering slice of water suggestive of an infinity pool; while the Round Style announces itself with more pronounced aplomb, like an Indonesian sculpture or an emblem of ancient Japan. Both sinks work with wall-mount or vessel-filler faucets. They accept 1½” drains. The Round sink has a 1.125” rim and the svelte square model measures in at .625”.

About the Manufacturer: Whittington manufactures the finest faucets, vanities, range hoods, and sinks: just the stuff to populate the dreams of any sworn aficionado of K and B. The company partners with distributor Signature Hardware to get their products out into the world. The latter’s 203,000 square foot warehouse, office area, and showroom located in Erlanger, Kentucky is a right proper venue for Whittington’s wares, as they’re featured front and center. Other products from the Whittington Collection include hardware, kitchen items, plumbing fixtures, and accessories, each of which provides “the perfect blend of aesthetic beauty and functional durability.”
