The Sophia — Fused Multi-Layer Glass Round Vessel Basin with Flat Back on Tapered Pedestal (LAS121)
🇨🇦 HANDCRAFTED IN CANADA SINCE 1999
⭐ LIFETIME WARRANTY - ONLY MANUFACTURER TO OFFER IT
✓ 25+ YEARS OF TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
🏅 SUPERIOR QUALITY CONTROL
The Sophia is a two-piece glass pedestal ensemble of refined organic elegance, designed for bathrooms where space is considered and every detail is intentional. A deep round glass vessel basin — its organic rim alive with a richly tactile relief, its flat back sitting flush against the wall — rests atop a tapered glass pedestal of graceful, luminous proportions.
The Sophia’s flat-back design makes it the ideal choice for smaller bathrooms or powder rooms where a full countertop pedestal would overwhelm the space. Its generous 5¾" basin depth and organic rim profile deliver the full VERRE Gallery experience in a more intimate format. Available in 8 exclusive glass colors chosen in our Canadian workshop.
100% recyclable glass - A responsible choice for your luxury project.
