Back to the basics.  Simple wooden tables and shelves have been around for longer than any of us can remember. Latis, a bathroom creation from Omvivo, is inspired by the fundamentals of tradition and quality. Clean lines and uncomplicated forms meet timber and natural stone to create this bathroom suite designed by Thomas Coward, the principal designer for Australian manufacturer Omvivo.

Latis Trestle and Round Basin Designed by Omvivo.

"The Latis forms borrow from the crafts... from spinning clay on a wheel to the traditional nature of the trestle. The material relationships create a sentiment of history whilst maintaining a contemporary sensitivity" explains Thomas Coward, the principal designer for Omvivo. Contemporary finishes lend to a modern minimalist aesthetic, promoting relaxation through simplicity. Named after the Celtic Goddess of Water, the Latis range includes basins, the trestle vanity and a bath. The stone basins are available in round and rectangular designs with soft curves, in a variety of finishes and are set atop wood tables with wood or stone storage shelves underneath.  The deep rectangular soaker tub, the centerpiece of the collection, maintains an ultra-modern yet timeless aesthetic through the merging of traditional materials with chic diagonal lines and modern edges.  It features an optional timber end with practical open shelves. The bath and trestle vanity both have clean angled lines that contrast and compliment the sculptural form of the basins.
