🇨🇦 HANDCRAFTED IN CANADA SINCE 1999
⭐ LIFETIME WARRANTY - ONLY MANUFACTURER TO OFFER IT
✓ 25+ YEARS OF TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
🏅 SUPERIOR QUALITY CONTROL
The Joséphine is a three-piece glass pedestal ensemble of rare architectural ambition. An asymmetric oval glass countertop — with an integral round basin on the left and a flat console surface on the right — is elevated on two tapered glass pedestals of differing heights. The result is a freestanding bathroom centrepiece of extraordinary sculptural presence.
At 38" in length, The Joséphine commands the bathroom with the authority of a gallery installation. Every surface is alive with an organic crystallized texture, and the piece is available in 8 exclusive colors — including the signature Amber, which gives the glass a luminous golden warmth.
100% recyclable glass - A responsible choice for your luxury project.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why 4 to 6 weeks?
Each piece is handcrafted to order in our Canadian atelier. We maintain no inventory — your basin is created exclusively for you. Some models may be available from stock — contact us to check.
Q: What is the difference between LAS500 and LAS501?
The LAS500 has the basin on the left and the console surface on the right. The LAS501 (Right-Hand Console) is the mirror image — basin on the right, console on the left. Both are identical in all other specifications.
Q: Is the lifetime warranty truly unlimited?
Yes, absolutely. We are the only ones to offer it because we have perfectly mastered our process after 25 years of expertise. If a manufacturing defect appears in 5, 10, or 20 years, we will replace your piece.
Q: Can I customize the colour or dimensions?
Absolutely. Our 8 exclusive natural pigments are available, and custom dimensions can be developed. Contact us for a complimentary consultation.
Q: Is glass fragile?
No. Cast at premium thickness and fully thermal-shock resistant, The Joséphine is extremely robust. That is precisely why we offer a lifetime warranty against thermal shock.
Q: Do you ship worldwide?
Yes — VERRE Gallery offers complimentary White Glove Delivery worldwide. Every piece is professionally packaged and fully insured for safe transit.
Q: Is installation complex?
Professional installation is strongly recommended. The twin tapered pedestals require proper floor anchoring and plumbing preparation. Our team provides detailed specifications and can refer you to qualified installers in your region.
