Striving to bring the unsurpassed beauty of natural materials into people’s homes, Stone Forest lets the natural world dictate its bath designs. Using procedures that involve saw cutting and polishing, each of these sinks are unique in the face of mass-manufactured products. From a 650-pound sink carved from onyx to a pedestal cut from basalt, here is the latest from Stone Forest.
Barrel Pedestal Sink
Stone Forest’s Barrel Sink is more than a sink, it is a functional sculpture. Carved from a single block of sumptuous, semi-translucent onyx, the barrel sink weighs in at 650 pounds, yet because of its translucent nature, when lit from within using an LED rope light — the sink takes on an ethereal quality.
Bronze Chalice
Designed by Santa Fe artist David Hoptman, the Bronze Chalice is created from sand-cast bronze and handcrafted by artisans. Now available in white bronze, the stunning chalice offers more latitude in faucet choices, as the new material is a complement to satin nickel and chrome. Like all other natural elements, it is a living finish, so it will achieve a weathered look with use and exposure to the elements of everyday living.
Purple Onyx Wabi Vessel Sinks
After two years of searching, Stone Forest has once again been able to source small blocks of this semi-precious stone to create its perfectly imperfect naturally shaped vessel sinks. Each vessel is truly unique as each stone is highly variable in terms of color, crystalline structure and veining. Onyx is the perfect material for those looking to add a stunning, natural accent to their space.
Triple Basalt Pedestal
This rustic pedestal is perfect for those seeking an organic contemporary style. Each set of three plinths is cut from a single column of basalt and features a combination of natural and polished facets.
Veneto Pedestal Sink
Inspired by classic Italian design, this striking, barrel-shaped vessel is carved from a single block of multi-color onyx. The sculpture includes a cavity in the back that can accommodate a light source to enhance the luminosity of this architectural form.
Verona Vessel
Stone Forest balances formality with modernity in this traditional design with a contemporary touch. A wide, inviting basin, this unique vessel sink is offered in two varying sizes of either honey, multi-color onyx or the new silver travertine.
Merging classic and modern stylings, the collection displays timeless design suffused with French elegance.
THG Paris, the leading French atelier in faucets and bath accessories whose collaborations with prestigious brands include Lalique, Baccarat and Christofle, announced its latest collection — Les Ondes, which is French for “waves” — at the 2018 Architectural Digest Design Show.
Les Ondes is the first product collaboration between THG Paris and the internationally recognized interior design duo of Patrick Gilles and Dorothée Boissier, but not the first partnership. Gilles & Boissier has designed and outfitted several projects with THG Paris products, including the Baccarat Hotel property.
Gilles & Boissier revisited the styling of a Baccarat crystal lamp they designed for the Baccarat Hotel in New York for the new THG Paris bath collection, with the fixture’s faceted crystal sides recalling the transparency of water.
“We are privileged to have Patrick and Dorothée translate their signature stylings into an exclusive bath collection for our brand,” says Pedro Uranga, the North American director of THG Paris.
Merging classic and modern stylings, the Gilles & Boissier collection displays timeless design suffused with French elegance. The collection draws inspiration from the transparency of water, and on top of the faucet’s 10-sided faceted base sits a trident-shaped brace reminiscent of Neptune, a Roman sea deity.
The collection is available with cross or lever handles, and like all THG Paris products, is offered in various configurations for basins, matching bathtub and shower systems and a range of matching accessories. THG Paris offers a variety of finishes to complement each design, including but not limited to chrome, nickel and soft gold.
In addition to the collection’s debut at the AD Design Show, the new collection will display in THG Paris’ design center in the Decoration & Design Building in New York.

Newport Brass’ Victoria lavatory faucet and Chesterfield tub filler are definitely worth their weight in gold. Newport Brass designed these collections to work in concert with one another — giving homeowners and designers ample choices for their design schemes.
Each of the collections are available in a stunning gold finish and despite their unique design, pair perfectly within the bath. Designers and homeowners can easily mix and match the fittings within these two stunning collections since both are made of solid brass construction and are available in 27 finishes.
With a classic take on traditional design, the Chesterfield tub filler comes with an integrated diverter and hand shower. With a similar aesthetic, the wall mounted Victoria faucet, like all other lavatory faucets by the brand, is WaterSense® labeled and even exceeds the requirements at 1.2 gpm.
Available with either cross handles or ADA-compliant lever handles, Victoria’s spout curves gently adding a distinctive aesthetic to the bathroom space.
