The Kast Otto basin.
From Kast Concrete Basins
Kast is A design-led business based on the edge of Sherwood Forest, in the heart of the UK. One of the many reasons we carry Kast products at Cesario & Co. is because they are Specialists in the design and manufacture of contemporary concrete basins, they design and make everything from their factory in the UK and deliver worldwide.
Kast’s founder, Tim Bayes, fell in love with concrete over 20 years ago. Growing up in Switzerland, he was inspired by their use of concrete, manipulating it into unique shapes and forms. Drawn to the purity of this material, Tim realised the potential it had for contemporary product design. With a natural affinity towards engineering and a degree in Fine Art, he began working with this ‘liquid stone’ and was convinced that it could become the ideal material for interior products. From designing furniture to creating contemporary interior surfaces, realising this vision took many years of development, researching and refining both the precise mix of concrete and complex casting processes. Tim grew his team and continued to innovate, pushing the boundaries of how concrete can be used.

Over the years like Cesario Kast has learned to hone what they make. When Kast started there was no-one to follow, because no-one was making and designing concrete products like they were. These days they focus relentlessly on one thing; making the most beautiful concrete basins anywhere in the world. Pictured are some of our favourites.
