But whether that will work for the long term remains to be seen. Corten (known as generic) or COR-TEN (brand) steel is a beautiful part of the material palette architect (one who eventually rust to dark red) with a variety of outdoor applications. Maybe some interior as well.
From a formal standpoint, the bathroom sink is a beautiful piece of modern design – linear light colored wood frames a basin, which in turn folds into a sloping front, made of reddish self-rusting metal.
An almost-invisible gap between steel and along the back ensures water to remove subtle drain without a central pipe and open drainage cover, creating a neat little waterfall-like effect (although the shiny stainless steel knob-and-set faucet fixture hanging above looks less integrated into the overall piece).
From a practical standpoint, it is difficult to say what will happen with the rust in time. Can the wood sufficiently well sealed to prevent the glass? And how is it connected to leaks, cracks and other carpentry-related issues that might arise to prevent? Hopefully enough attention has A3Studio such pragmatic problems in addition to crafting a beautiful physical object.
