Bespoke Basins in East London
East London is where the city renovates most inventively — warehouse conversions, new-build apartments and Victorian terraces sitting side by side, often with strong, design-led interiors. A made-to-measure sintered stone basin fits that spirit: a clean, architectural piece drawn to the exact space you have. Lave designs and delivers across the area, a short hop from our Islington studio.
Warehouses, New-Builds and Terraces
East London does not have a single house type — that is the point. Shoreditch, Hoxton and Clerkenwell's edge are full of converted warehouses with exposed brick, steel and long open-plan rooms. Wapping and Canary Wharf bring dockside new-builds with sharp, contemporary bathrooms. Hackney, Bethnal Green, Bow and Victoria Park keep the Victorian terrace tradition, much of it recently and boldly renovated.
Each of these asks something different of a basin. A warehouse bathroom wants a long, confident run of stone that suits the volume of the room. A new-build en-suite wants a precise, contemporary line. A terrace wants a unit that fits an awkward period footprint. Off-the-shelf answers none of them well. Made-to-measure answers all three, because the piece is drawn to your room rather than pulled from a catalogue.
A Material That Suits a Design-Led Interior
Sintered stone reads as a genuine, architectural material — dense, matte and honest — which is why it sits so well in East London's design-conscious homes. It is fired at over 1200°C into a completely non-porous surface: it does not stain, does not need sealing, resists heat and scratching, and hides limescale far better than gloss ceramic in London's hard water. Everyday care is a wipe with a damp cloth. Our why sintered stone guide explains the material in full.
One Seamless Piece
Every Lave basin is an integrated design — countertop and bowl formed from a single continuous sheet of stone, with no silicone joint and no rim. That uninterrupted line is exactly the kind of quiet, resolved detail that a considered East London interior is built on. See integrated basins vs drop-in bowls for why it holds its look for longer.
What You Can Specify
- Width — from a 700mm cloakroom unit to a 2400mm double-basin run for an open warehouse bathroom.
- Bowl position — centred, offset, or twin bowls.
- Overflow or no overflow — for the cleanest, most minimal bowl.
- Cabinet finish — warm oak and walnut through to handleless matte, to match the interior.
How It Works
We are a studio in Islington, not a walk-in showroom — which is how we keep everything bespoke. Send measurements or a sketch and a few photos, and we draw the piece and return a full quote within 48 hours. Delivery across East London is easy, and because everything is made to spec, the unit arrives finished with no stone cut on site.

Our studio is in Islington, N1, a short distance away; we work by appointment and online rather than as a walk-in showroom.
- Can you make a basin to suit a warehouse conversion or open-plan apartment?
- Yes. Warehouse and new-build apartments often have long, open bathrooms and exposed detailing where an off-the-shelf unit looks out of place. A made-to-measure sintered stone vanity is drawn to the exact run you have and finished to sit with the rest of the interior.
