HATRIA
TALEA
Semi-inset washbasin
TALEA is a semi-recessed washbasin designed by Silvana Angeletti and Daniele Ruzza for HATRIA in 2026.
Talea is a collection born from the concept of care. The name evokes the ancient act of propagation: a simple gesture that unites memory and the future, continuity and transformation. In this project, care becomes the guiding design principle, shaping every formal decision. The washbasin appears to blossom outwards, with a full, textured form that conveys solidity and presence. The prominent rim, which projects beyond the base, invites touch and defines a clear boundary between the exterior and interior. The surprise effect is revealed in use: the basin, wide and deep, remains almost invisible until viewed from above. The washbasin complements a storage unit with a bold character, designed to furnish the bathroom with the same dignity as other rooms in the home. The system is also available in a version with shelves, offering a more open and versatile solution. Its generous depth, designed to ensure comfort and functionality thanks to the option of surface-mounted or semi-recessed installation – as well as pairing with its own unit – is integrated into a compact, sculptural exterior form. Together, they create a cohesive space in which the bathroom becomes a room to be lived in. Completing the collection, a round mirror cabinet introduces a soft, enveloping touch, evoking a 1960s aesthetic reinterpreted in a contemporary key. TALEA interprets wellbeing as a daily experience, through balanced proportions, attention to detail and the quality of materials.
