Aliran – The special sink made from real onyx
The characteristic veining of this sink resembles soft, light captured in stone. Bright cream and honey tones flow in even, crystalline layers through the onyx, giving the sink a warm, almost translucent depth. The outside preserves the original, natural shape of the onyx block, while the interior has been carefully polished to create a silky-smooth basin that seems to glow in the light. These flowing patterns give the sink its name "Aliran" – which means "flow" in Indonesian. As a radiant centerpiece in the bathroom, it transforms any wash area into a special place of relaxation.
The Creation of a Natural Wonder
In the silent depths of the mountains, impressive natural stones like onyx are formed over thousands of years. Mineral-rich water slowly seeps through layers of rock, shaping this fascinating stone that captures light. Every line and color nuance tells of the Earth's long history. Balinese artisans possess the skill and sensitivity to recognize and preserve this natural beauty. With great respect and experience, the onyx blocks are carefully processed, and the interior is polished so that the radiant heart of the stone becomes visible – for you and your home.
