Tom Ferguson Design - Modern Bathroom Design & fitout with Minosa bathroom products

The Design team at Tom Furguson Design have taken to what was an old understyled bathroom space and turned it into the modern bathing sanctury their clients where searching for.



This wonderful modern bathroom space features the Minosa ScoopED washbasin finished in Glacier White Corian, other modern features are the linear stip drain that runs the length of the bathroom to allow the use of over sized floor tiles. It also adds a great contrast to the dark floor tiles and finishes of the modern design.

Lighting is a large feature of this modern bathroom as it is in a terrace development there is no external window or natural light so the use of artifical light is crucial to this bathroom design.



Personally I love the look of the textured wall tiles and the use of the concealed flurocent light to high light the stunning feature tile, it also offers a great backdrop to the freestanding bathtub.

To read more about this wonderful modern bathroom grab a copy of the Current Inside Out Magazine (March-April 2010)this bathroom is featured in the kitchen & bathroom section.

Corian and Missoni

“Corian loves Missoni”. Corian, by DuPont, offers the kind of versatility that lends itself perfectly to enhancing the unique Missoni sense of style. The solid surfaces of Corian are used to create a vision that ranges from the most delicate, elegant cut-out patterns to the boldest, most beautiful of stripes, to items of absolute simplicity in the purest of whites. Together, Corian and Missoni present collections running with breathless exuberance through kitchen, bath, living and dining areas... Corian’s special qualities lend it to applications that only imagination limits: the hardwearing, bright and flexible material expresses an ethos of modern living that is perfectly partnered with Missoni. Simple, rational designs for living show off the stunning colour combinations and distinctive flair of Missoni - now so perfectly captured in Corian!

Unusual/Custom Lamps

With a look that’s tailored by man and inspired by nature, the contemporary Tulip table lamp by Quasar adds an unusual focal point to any space. There’s no doubt this quirky lamp design will “illuminate” you to the world of the whimsical. Modern stainless steel bases don “flower-bud” shades. When closed, each lampshade appears as an illuminated sphere with a soft glow. Five “petals” forming the shade open with zippers, which are prominently displayed on the exterior of the lamps in a playful twist. These lamps work especially well in lounge spaces, living rooms and libraries where they’ll be a certain conversation piece, and come in coordinating table lamp and floor lamp designs. Check out these unusual lamps at Quasar.

Sasso Basin

Pragmatically speaking—and perhaps with the exception of cost—there’s nothing to stop you from installing Ammonit in your very own bathroom. The piece is bound to transform your morning wash from a mundane experience into a fascinating encounter with natural forms. My only inquiry (relying on the long-standing notion that, in the Southern Hemisphere, water rotates down the drain in the opposite direction)

The piece shines for the way it embraces the asynchrony of organic forms, a bold move that’s somewhat unprecedented in a washbasin (with the possible exception of the politically-laden Erosion Sink). The choice also makes Ammonit quite a commitment since the swirling design claims large pieces of real estate, perhaps leaving less counter space than one is accustomed to. But this is really a small caveat: the basin requires a width of 25 inches and the vanity ranges in length from three to nine feet.
