Apr 18 2009Crazy Sink Is Crazy, Drains Onto The Floor
The Abisko Washbasin from Eumar isn't even a basin. It's a freaking waterslide. A waterslide sink that drains onto the floor. How hilarious would it be if some bar installed this thing and forgot to put in the drain? Or even better -- you clogged it with a bunch of paper towels! HAHAHA, water damage is so funny! But seriously, it would be cool to spit blood in the sink and watch it sail down the stream. And why would you be spitting blood? I dunno, sometimes you just *WA-POW!* that's why.
Hit the jump for a bunch more of the questionable modernity.

Actually it's not "modern design" but contemporary design.
The Modern era has passed.
10. Daisy - April 18, 2009 2:08 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You casn tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the Movie NEver Back Down where one of Max's dad's army buddies came over to give him a watch that was hidden up his dad's ass for years, killing him. Ever since that day when Max thought of asses and what are in them he thinks of watch.

theres always been people who appreciated the finer quality of sinks, and the construction of such gets pretty elaborate...
bit of a slideshow of cool things like this, so crazy give it a watch

where do you put the soap wouldent it like slide down onto the drain whered youd have to pick it up every morning its a senieors citizens nitmare imagine the boom in hip replacment if this thing became the norm the terror...
14. james - April 18, 2009 3:57 PM
another point about the soap what would happen if these where installed in jails the whole dropping the soap thing .....crafty designers didnt think of the evil the doohicky would produce.
15. a - April 18, 2009 4:06 PM
jelly belly you suck donkey weiner
16. Gar - April 18, 2009 4:30 PM

17. Watch - April 18, 2009 4:49 PM
that is an odd sink. daisy shut up, seriously, your nbd jokes are played out.
18. Lordthez - April 18, 2009 5:14 PM
well, thats a slip and fall lawsuit waiting to happen. Now, where are these located? $Ka-ching$
19. AtomicCoffee - April 18, 2009 5:21 PM
Water?! *scoff* That's easy to get rid of.
What someone needs to invent is a sink that cleans up my nose, ear, neck and shoulder hair when I'm done pruning.
Oh, and something to get rid the clumps of unused, blue whitening gel toothpaste that seem to evade my toothbrush during rinse-and-spit. After about a week I need a hammer and chisel to clean the sink. (I've tried mail-order brides, but they keep stealing my car.)

holy sh@t this was on /b/ the other night.
21. Mahboobehz - April 18, 2009 6:30 PM
What's great about this thing is that you can wash your hands in the upper part and piss in the lower part. It's two, two, two fixtures in one!
Sham-POW!
22. Jace - April 18, 2009 7:25 PM
"Dude... $10 if you put your head under the end while I piss in it..."

this would only look good during its first month of use, unless there's someone waiting on the sink 24/7 that's ready to wipe it off after every use, chances are, this will get yucky with water stain or even molds, pretty fast.
not to mention the splatter on the grates will also result in water spots on the tiles. the space between the wall and the grate should be flush because that will be the spot that's always going to be moist.
the grate itself could develop molds, especially the outer parts.. the one that only sees water when some bloke turns the tap on high.

@3 & @4 - - yes this looks a lot like things I've pee'd in while visiting japan. I say go for it, just don't shit in the thing
26. David - April 19, 2009 6:33 AM
Dammit Daisy. (10)
Despite the forethought of the designers that this would be going into bars where people get drunk and do questionable things, I think the mirror is cool.
27. Ickorus - April 19, 2009 7:51 AM
Glad its not a urinal.
28. Rhialto - April 19, 2009 5:34 PM
Pretty neat looking thing.Probably usable as an urinary as well.For the very short or very tall.
29. Matt - April 20, 2009 2:37 AM
Don't you mean "WA-PEW PEW" ???
30. Cheetos81 - April 20, 2009 2:06 PM
Pissing application would be cool, atleast you could still stand and pee insitu even if the drain gets clogged
31. fred - April 20, 2009 4:42 PM
that'll get ugly fast with dried stains/dirt. if you have a maid i guess........
32. ech0z - April 21, 2009 12:11 AM
thats so cool, pour some liquids, and watch it slide down and put ur head on the end and DRINK IT!!! :D
33. KP - April 21, 2009 3:05 AM
I want a poo chute! Forget urinals, we should get toilets we have to climb ladders to use and, like marble chasers, our best efforts would race down the zany zigs and zags to disappear sanitarily out of sight in the floor drain. Flush- less and fun! Could be the new rage in potty chic.
34. sdfsdf - April 21, 2009 2:50 PM
Wow, I've always wanted a combination sink/urinal trough. Just don't drop the tooth brush. Weee!! Aww....
35. wow power leveling - April 21, 2009 9:14 PM
what can i do for you
36. FoolishlySuccinct - April 23, 2009 4:32 AM
OMG! Great invention...
You can wash your hands AND the floor, at the same god damn time!
37. Bee - April 23, 2009 6:39 AM

38. Don Chi Chi's - April 23, 2009 6:04 PM
Epic Fail.It may be a great novelty the first day,but washing your hands at 3 in the morning after whacking it is pretty inconvenient...it gets all on your feet.
39. hillary - April 23, 2009 8:32 PM
wait...wouldn't the water just flow off the OTHER end too? it wouldn't just magically go off the end down the chute....
40. elijah - April 24, 2009 3:36 AM
actually in asia bathrooms are all designed this way the actual bathroom itself has a single drain for the whole room. This seems like a japanese design.
41. Jimmy Jimj - April 25, 2009 4:54 PM
i'd totally shit in it.
42. FOZZIE - April 27, 2009 6:53 AM
i think i would only use it if i had sloppy shits
43. dude - April 27, 2009 1:12 PM
lmfao
44. JellyJuice - April 27, 2009 1:15 PM
Okay, so we've established it can be used to wash hands with, piss, or take a shit in.
Is it just me or does the lower part look quite comfortable? Set it up in the living room and you've got yourself a nice TV seat...
Get one for everybody, or, if you don't mind soaking in each other's poo grease, share it with the family.

50. Daisyisretarded - April 29, 2009 4:30 PM
Hi, It's me Daisy again. I am a retard. Sorry about what i said earlier. Trying to pretend i know what i am talking about by saying shit like "shadows are wrong" and what-not. I actually read somewhere else someone saying that and thought i could do the same thing here. I failed. Epically failed. i'm sorry. If anyone has a gun, please come put me out of my misery. i'll even let you do me before you do me. it's only fair i guess. I'm not worth much more than to simply be written off as a cumdumpster.
51. Steve - April 30, 2009 10:22 PM
To Daisy @ 10.
It looks more like a high-end 3D modeling app like Maya or Cinema 4D - photoshop just can't get this look. The shadows and reflections look right for staged lighting but granted, not what you'd expect in a bathroom. The hand towels in the third and fourth pics are exactly the same. To scream "fake!" though misses the point - maybe these are just meant to be promo shots for something that is - or is about to become - commercially available. I bet it cost a bloody fortune though, but it does look cool as hell.
LOL to Steven @ 11 too - much fun to be had!
52. Lillian - May 1, 2009 11:52 AM
Okay, well what is somebody puts a whole crap load of paper towels in front of the drain. Oh ya what now America?
53. Jessie - May 1, 2009 11:58 AM
What ever happened to a good old fashion sink...? "I" find that the world has become to modern and contemporary, very steril and cold. The edges have become to sharp, furniture, clothing, appliances, homes, everything. So square....
So uninviting...
54. zack - October 11, 2009 11:04 PM
OMFG THIS SINK IS ALSOME I AM GETTING ONE NO DOUBT IN THE FUTUER IDC I WILL Always rember this ALWAYD!
55. Matttttttttttttt - November 6, 2009 9:28 AM
Don't care about anything: this sink is definitly very cool! I just woul add a parabolic opposite direction curve in the end, to make the water (or whatever liquid you will put in that stuff) tricks more funny!!!
