              Monolithic washbasin


             White  Tulip  is the first  full bathroom
           created entirely by Philippe Starck.
             From  bathtubs,  washbasins  and
           furniture, toilets and bidets, to matching
           mirrors and a complete collection of
           taps,  the  exceptional  form  of  all  the
           components within the series echoes the
           organic silhouette of a tulip in bloom,
           exuding an almost sculptural and delicate
           character.
             The monolithic, free-standing ceramic
           washbasin is particularly eye-catching.
