ReFlow, the lightweight recycled rubber sink, is made from recycled rubber tires. It's simplistic design is focused on sustainability and functionality. The sheet is stretched over a base frame and anchored down by the drain, creating a shallow sloped surface for water to disperse, guided by the natural topography of the sheet to define the slope, leading directly into the toilet. This allows for the water used while washing your hands to be repurposed and reused.
