Auckland-based Gidon Bing has translated his reductive process to a new arena with the Terra Basin — an exemplar of the sculptor/designer’s commitment to simplicity. The striking design is a local story to love. The basin, developed in collaboration with family business Plumbline, was designed in Gidon’s modest boatshed workshop using analogue and digital modelling methods.
It is produced right here in Aotearoa from vitreous stoneware. The fluid circular lines and functional depth of the Terra Basin are a triumph of craftsmanship while the four different hand-applied glazes in Dune, Pumice, Manuka and Muriwai, are a tribute to the textures and tones of our landscapes.
