cerrō by mudd. concrete
In honor of this week’s oval-inspired theme, we present to you cerrō by mudd. concrete. This handmade obround wash basin is a modern interpretation of the oval. Its elliptical shape is inspired by what happens when force is applied in single, but opposing directions.

Cerrō is part of mudd. concrete’s bōl Collection, a series of concrete sinks and basins “born from the weight of clay and the force of human hands on a potter’s lathe.” These are categorized as experimentations in texture, substance, and imperfect hand-brushed surfaces.

This humble countertop basin seems to be completely “of-the-earth.” As concrete, it’s set and hardened, especially by the time it arrives for installation, but there’s a lingering sense of wetness about it, a softness to its spirituality and earthen tone. It’s almost as if it’s actually a bathroom sink made of a heavy loamy mud, that gritty workable earth one might find beneath your toes at the bottom of an ankle-deep creek.

Though it sounds hefty, cerrō’s curvature gradually dissolves into the sink’s base giving it a weightless quality. Measuring at 26.5’’ in length, cerrō’s latitude is large enough to offer considerable sink coverage.

Cerrō comes in nine colors. The colors themselves are earthen tones through and through.

Bone is as white as a femur. Clay plays as terracotta’s cousin. Cliff looks like organic ash. And Moss is a forest green encapsulated in shadow. Dune, Flint, Lava, Pumice, and Silt, sandy-colored neutrals, fill out the rest of the cerrō line-up.
