Cara is made of thin stainless steel plates in matt black or white and thus moves away from the familiar materials used for washbasins. A hybrid coating makes the surfaces hardwearing, which thus lend themselves for use in wet rooms. An open shelf provides storage for towels and accessories. Cara is made with a Japanese sheet metal and welding technique. This dispenses with high-temperature firing, unlike with ceramic washbasins, and contributes to a CO2 emissions reduction effect.
