If it's not the best-looking sink I've ever seen, it's pretty close. Pretty sweet...

note: Just how abnormal does this make me? I feel the same way looking at this sink as I would watching a Bugatti Veyron go by. That's the kind of feeling that sink design gives me - like seeing a $1.5 million car. What a weirdo...

note #2: If you aren't familiar with the Veyron, it is simply ridiculous: $1.5 million buys you an 8 liter, 16 cylinder car that can do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, runs a 10.2 second quarter mile at 140mph, and will empty its fuel tank in 12.5 minutes going full throttle at 250mph. Ridiculous, indeed.

So maybe you'll find this odd, but I have a strange fascination with bathroom fixture design.

There, I said it. As weird as it might sound to some, especially those who aren't really into design, I get a big kick out of sinks, showers and baths. Toilets.... not so much, but every now and then, a toilet comes along that strikes my fancy.

I am not sure exactly what it is about fixture design that gets me. Perhaps it's the way in which designers make a simple task, such as delivering water to a user, so graceful. Perhaps it's my Eastern half that has a deep appreciation for the shui of feng shui and feels the harmony between the user and the water. Perhaps I just have expensive tastes.

Whatever it is, it's hard to describe just how I feel when I see it. I most definitely "feel" something -- it's more than simply saying, "Hey, that's a neat-looking faucet." There is a certain emotional connection between myself and the sink, as strange as that sounds. However, since I can't put it into words, I thought I would share a few designs that pretty much blow my mind. Hope it does the same for you.

If (when) I get the chance to design my own home, and if (when) I have a few thousand extra dollars to spend, these will be at the top of my list. Narrowing that list down might be a tough task, although I suppose there's nothing to say I couldn't have a 3 bedroom, 14 bath house...

Enjoy!
