Shazeen Jooma of Classic Luxury Tiles & Bathrooms: “A statement bath or basin is generally defined predominantly on its sheer design features. The uniqueness of the bath/basin in terms of the shape and how the water flows is one of the main contributing factors that define a showstopping bath/basin. The second factor would be the material of the product. It could be made of glass, ceramic or marble among others. The technology behind such products needs to be functional considering the use of the application. The addition of colours such as gold or matte black adds to the complete look of a stunning bath/basin. The aesthetic appearance and pure unique design features are ultimately what make the product a showstopper.” Read more in The showstopper – pages 148 – 152.
