CERAFINE™
Refined, superior ceramic wash basins, bringing together INAX’s innovative technology and its passion for contemporary design
Delicately designed with super-thin edges, Cerafine™'s beautiful wash basins have a refined look and feel.

This simple curved line called "Sori" not only represents a strength and functionality but also embodies Japanese spirit and sensibilities such as serenity and quality.
For its plane proportion, CERAFINE™ adopts the silver ratio. Traditionally used in Japanese architecture, the silver ratio enhances the beauty of the blank space, contributing to CERAFINE™'s exquisite Japanese Zen design. Through technological innovation, CERAFINE™ has achieved the impossible - delicate ultra-thin vessel while ensuring durable quality.
