Lately we’ve been noticing the humble Alape bucket sink in washrooms everywhere (we first spotted it at Labour and Wait in London). Here’s a roundup of spaces, plus a source for the sink.

A humble bucket sink in the Old Library Restaurant washroom, designed by Australian firm Hecker Guthrie, is elevated by the addition of exposed copper piping and a painted wall mimicking tiles.

The glazed Alape Bucket Sink features a dark PVC edge; it can be found at Labour and Wait, in London, for £140 ($225 USD). See our posts on Farmhouse & Utility Sinks for more ideas.
