Spoon XL Washbasin
Made by Agape
Designed by Benedini Associati
The Spoon XL is an enlargement of Benedini Associati's original Spoon concept for Agape, a project that began with a simple question: how does a utilitarian object become something genuinely contemplated. The proportions were scaled deliberately, giving the basin a calm, enveloping presence without sacrificing the quiet geometry that defines the series.
The silhouette reads as both sculptural vessel and functional form. Its edges are precise, its interior softly curved, and its surface carries a warmth rarely found in bathroom materials. That surface is Cristalplant biobased, a composite developed with plant-derived components that is non-porous, resistant to staining, and repairable if scratched over years of use.
- Available in over-countertop and semi-recessed configurations
- Compatible with other pieces in the Spoon collection for composed bathroom arrangements
- Cristalplant biobased: partially plant-derived, non-porous, and restorable
- Warm to the touch, visually soft, dimensionally precise
Benedini Associati, the Milan-based studio founded by siblings Camilla, Giampaolo, and Benedetta Benedini, has maintained a long and focused dialogue with Agape since the 1990s. Their work consistently treats the bathroom as a considered space, one where material and form carry the same weight as function.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cristalplant biobased and how is it different from standard acrylic?
Cristalplant biobased is a composite material that incorporates plant-derived components, distinguishing it from conventional petroleum-based acrylics. It is non-porous, warm to the touch, and, unlike standard acrylic, can be sanded and restored if the surface is scratched over time.
What installation configurations does the Spoon XL offer?
The Spoon XL is available in over-countertop and semi-recessed configurations, allowing it to be integrated into a range of vanity and countertop arrangements depending on the bathroom's spatial requirements.
Who are Benedini Associati and what is their relationship with Agape?
Benedini Associati is a Milan-based design studio founded by siblings Camilla, Giampaolo, and Benedetta Benedini. They have collaborated closely with Agape since the 1990s, developing much of the brand's defining bathroom vocabulary, including the original Spoon series.
Can the Spoon XL be combined with other pieces in the Spoon collection?
Yes. The Spoon XL is designed to compose with other elements in Agape's Spoon collection, allowing for a coherent bathroom arrangement across faucets, accessories, and complementary fixtures.
Is Cristalplant biobased suitable for long-term daily use?
Cristalplant biobased is engineered for durability in daily use. Its non-porous surface resists staining and bacterial growth, and minor surface wear can be repaired by sanding, extending the material's lifespan considerably compared to many ceramic or standard resin alternatives.
