The white monolithic feel of the Aquagrande washbasin somehow resonated with the image of a chilled tofu block. Not only do they look alike, but they are similar in that both are nice and cold to touch. Tofu is often produced with a linen filter whose surface texture is naturally transcribed. This subtle texture on its surface is beautiful to touch. It also gives a nice texture to grab in water, and I felt this relationship between these two was interesting.

Following such thoughts, I decided to apply a fabric texture on the top surface of the washbasin.
