Ammonite Washbasin By High Tech DesignSaturday, 5. May 2012 |
|
This absolutely uniquely concrete shaped washbasin shows the natural elegant beauty of a fossilised ammonite. The unique design was inspired by the archaic beauty of ammonites combined with the organic qualities of concrete. High Tech Design offers it in several colours, for table-mounted or wall-mounted tap/faucet. |

The fascinating shape of ammonite fossils – which resembles a rolled up helix – is the basic design element in the new HighTech washbasin. The association of water and fossil design is a clear allusion to the prehistoric inspiration for the Ammonite washbasin. Ammonites get their name from their spiral shape as their fossilized shells somewhat resemble tightly-coiled rams' horns. Pliny the Elder called fossils of these animals ammonis cornua ("horns of Ammon") because the Egyptian god Ammon (Amun) was typically depicted wearing ram's horns.

The game will be published by MTV Games and distributed by Electronic Arts.
