Wellspring technical drawing
 
 
 
     
This elegant basin was commissioned by Kirkstone Ltd, and was designed and produced in Kirkstone slate by Andrew Horsfall. In the process of designing this basin Andrew also looked for a sculptural solution to provide an overflow. The result was the patented ‘Wellspring’ overflow design. Wellspring consists of a circular reservoir from which the water faucet rises like a fountain. When installed at a suitable level in the basin it simultaneously functions as an overflow. On most basins the overflow is an afterthought, and looks it. Here, it emerges naturally from function and form.
