Countertop Basins
Surface-mounted basin designs created to become a defining feature of the bathroom.
ZAUS Countertop Basins bring together a curated collection of pre-designed, surface-mounted ceramic basins for powder rooms, ensuites, family bathrooms and master suites.
Designed to sit completely above the vanity or benchtop, countertop basins expose the full exterior form of the basin, allowing its shape, profile, colour and surface treatment to become part of the architectural composition.
Across three distinct design families — E-Series, XZ-8 Series and XZ-G Series — the collection progresses from clean fluted white ceramic through to contrasting rim treatments, two-tone designs and expressive textured metallic finishes.
Each basin is supplied as an established model with predetermined dimensions, geometry and available finishes, allowing ZAUS to coordinate the selected basin with the vanity, benchtop, tapware, waste and broader bathroom package.
Collection at a Glance
The ZAUS Countertop Basin collection provides a broad selection of forms and finish directions for different vanity proportions and interior styles.
Available designs include:
Round and oval basins
Square and softened rectangular forms
Compact countertop configurations
Larger statement proportions
Vertically fluted ceramic exteriors
Fine contrasting rim details
Black-and-white configurations
Metallic-edged designs
Textured metallic exteriors
Classic white ceramic finishes
The range allows basin selection to respond to both the physical proportions of the vanity and the intended architectural character of the bathroom.
Three Distinct Design Series
E-Series
Sculpted white ceramic defined by precision vertical fluting.
The E-Series is the most architectural and restrained of the three collections, combining clean white glazed ceramic with distinctive vertically fluted exterior walls.
Available across a selection of geometric forms, the collection maintains a consistent material language while allowing the basin shape and proportions to respond to different vanity configurations.
The smooth glazed interior contrasts subtly with the sculpted exterior, allowing natural and artificial light to emphasise the fine vertical detailing without compromising the simplicity of the basin.
Its monochromatic white finish makes the E-Series particularly versatile alongside natural stone, timber joinery and a wide range of tapware finishes.
Design Direction:
White Ceramic • Vertical Fluting • Architectural Forms • Sculpted Exterior • Clean Contemporary Design
XZ-8 Series
Refined ceramic forms distinguished by contrast and fine perimeter detailing.
The XZ-8 Series introduces a more decorative layer to the collection while retaining clean, contemporary basin geometry.
Round, oval and softened rectangular forms are differentiated through carefully controlled black contrast, two-tone treatments and fine metallic perimeter detailing.
Rather than relying on heavily decorative surfaces, the character of the XZ-8 Series is concentrated around the relationship between the basin's form, interior colour, exterior treatment and defined rim.
Selected models incorporate fine black edging, warm metallic edging or contrasting dark and light ceramic surfaces, allowing the basin to coordinate subtly with tapware, hardware, stone and surrounding joinery.
Design Direction:
Contrast Rims • Two-Tone Ceramic • Black & White • Fine Metallic Edging • Round • Oval • Softened Rectangular
XZ-G Series
Expressive countertop basins with textured and metallic exterior finishes.
The XZ-G Series represents the most expressive design direction within the ZAUS Countertop Basin collection.
The series uses predominantly rounded vessel forms with smooth white ceramic interiors contrasted against distinctive exterior treatments, allowing the external wall of the basin to become the defining feature.
Depending on the selected model, finishes include dark contrasting exteriors, warm metallic tones, silver-toned finishes and tactile textured surface treatments.
Unlike the restrained perimeter detailing of the XZ-8 Series, the XZ-G collection places greater emphasis on the entire exterior surface of the basin, creating a stronger statement when viewed above the benchtop.
This makes the collection particularly suited to powder rooms, feature ensuites and bathroom compositions where the basin is intended to operate as a focal design element.
Design Direction:
Statement Finishes • Textured Exteriors • Black & White • Gold Tones • Silver Tones • Decorative Surface Treatments
Choosing a Countertop Basin
Because a countertop basin sits entirely above the benchtop, its height, footprint and exterior profile have a greater influence on the finished vanity composition than an integrated or recessed basin.
Selection should consider:
Available vanity width and depth
Required usable benchtop space
Basin height and finished vanity height
Basin shape and external profile
Single or double-basin arrangements
Tapware type and positioning
Preferred colour and finish
Overall bathroom scale and design language
Compact forms can preserve valuable benchtop space in powder rooms and smaller ensuites, while larger round, oval and softened rectangular basins can establish a stronger focal point across more generous vanity compositions.
Individual model dimensions and available finishes can be confirmed during product selection.
Materials & Finishes
Material expression varies considerably across the three countertop basin families.
The E-Series focuses on monochromatic white ceramic and sculpted vertical fluting.
The XZ-8 Series introduces controlled contrast through black-and-white combinations and fine black or metallic perimeter detailing.
The XZ-G Series extends the collection into more expressive finishes, including contrasting exteriors and tactile gold, silver and textured surface treatments.
This range allows the basin to either blend quietly into the surrounding material palette or deliberately contrast against it.
Available finishes remain specific to each established basin model.
Vanity & Benchtop Coordination
ZAUS Countertop Basins can be paired with our Bathroom Vanity Collections or incorporated into a Custom Bathroom Vanity.
Because the basin sits independently above the benchtop, the vanity and stone can be developed around the selected model rather than being predetermined by the basin itself.
For bespoke applications, ZAUS can coordinate:
Basin Position • Vanity Dimensions • Benchtop Material • Waste Location • Storage Configuration • Tapware Position
This allows the basin, stone and cabinetry to be resolved as one complete vanity composition, while retaining the established geometry and finish of the selected basin.
Tapware & Fixture Coordination
Countertop basin selection should be considered alongside the intended tapware from the beginning of the vanity design.
Depending on basin height, geometry and installation position, compatible arrangements may include:
Extended-height basin mixers
Bench-mounted mixers
Wall-mounted basin tapware
Coordinating basin wastes
Bottle traps for exposed installations
Basin height, mixer height, spout projection and basin position are considered together to achieve appropriate clearance, comfortable operation and a visually balanced installation.
Tapware, wastes and associated fixtures can be selected from the broader ZAUS Bathware collection and coordinated as part of the complete bathroom package.
Residential & Project Applications
ZAUS Countertop Basins are suited to:
Powder Rooms • Ensuites • Family Bathrooms • Master Ensuites • Apartments • Custom Homes • Multi-Residential Developments • Boutique Residential Projects
The breadth of forms and finishes allows different models to be selected for individual feature bathrooms or coordinated across multiple bathrooms within the same residence or development.
Complete Bathroom Coordination
Ready-Selected. Project Coordinated.
ZAUS coordinates countertop basins as part of the broader bathroom and joinery package, allowing the basin to be considered alongside the vanity, benchtop, tapware, waste, mirror or shaving cabinet and associated bathroom fixtures rather than as an isolated product.
The result is a bathroom in which the individual components are selected and coordinated as one resolved composition.
