Round Sabbia Stone is offered without an overflow and comes complete with a drain plug in the same finish as the basin itself—an expression of holistic design and detail that speaks to Fukasawa’s philosophy of essential living.

Round Sabbia Stone With column
Designed by Naoto Fukasawa for Boffi, the Round Sabbia Stone freestanding washbasin encapsulates the harmony of simplicity and sculptural elegance. Carved from solid marble in a selection of refined finishes, it presents a fluid oval form that softens the geometry of the space while evoking a sense of calm and tactile intimacy.
The stone is carefully treated with water- and oil-repellent solutions to ensure durability, enhancing its timeless beauty and ease of maintenance. Whether installed against a wall or placed freely in the center of the room, this washbasin asserts its presence with quiet confidence and refined materiality.
