The functionality and flexibility of LUMINISTs hybrid epoxy resin material used in this Crystal bowl, is also ideal for sinks and countertops. The invention of LUMINIST is a remarkable achievement spanning nearly two decades. This TOTO patented material offers glass-like translucence while overcoming the traditional epoxy-resin limitations. LUMINIST has been engineered to withstand high levels of heat and is impact-resistant, meaning that stains and scratches can simply be wiped away. Its translucent nature lends this material to novel applications with lighting, while its crisp form can accentuate any space by giving it a modern flavor.
