PLATEA and EQUILIBRIUM: choosing a countertop washbasin

PLATEA and EQUILIBRIUM are Alice Ceramica's two newest washbasin ranges. PLATEA is a wide countertop basin with a gently raised edge around the bowl, which creates a double depth: part worktop, part basin. EQUILIBRIUM is a compact round basin that can sit on a counter or on its own ceramic column. They suit different bathrooms, so this guide covers both, with the measurements from Alice Ceramica's technical sheets.

The short answer

  • For a wide vanity with space for toiletries: PLATEA, from 61 to 121 cm.
  • For a small, sculptural basin on a counter: EQUILIBRIUM H15, H17.5 or H20.
  • For a freestanding look without a cabinet: EQUILIBRIUM on its ceramic column.

PLATEA: choosing the width

According to the Alice Ceramica technical sheets every PLATEA basin is 46 cm deep and 15 cm high, for countertop installation.

See our countertop basin guide for worktop height and tap choice.

EQUILIBRIUM: three heights

Each basin can sit on a worktop or on a ceramic column: the wall column when the waste goes into the wall, or the freestanding column when it goes into the floor. Our freestanding washbasin guide explains how to plan the plumbing.

Drains and siphons

Tap, drain and siphon are sold separately for both ranges. A colour-matched ceramic Free Flow or Up&Down drain and the round siphon in chrome or matt black complete the basin. See which waste to choose.

Finishes

  • Bianco: classic glossy white.
  • Colore: matt colours (White, Black, Grey, Rose, Green Alpi, Coffee, Sand, Laguna, Zenzero, Malva).
  • I Lucidi: glossy colours new for 2026 (Pino, Miele, Tabasco, Mirto).
  • Materia: marble-effect ceramic (Carrara, Marquinia), new for 2026, available on PLATEA 61 and 81 and on EQUILIBRIUM.

All ceramics have Alice Ceramica's antibacterial glaze enriched with silver, titanium and zinc ions. Colours on screen are indicative: ask us for a physical sample if you need an exact match, and read our guide to coloured and matt sanitaryware.

Your checklist

  • PLATEA: basin in the right width + drain + siphon + tap (deck or wall-mounted)
  • EQUILIBRIUM: basin + drain + siphon + tap, plus the wall or freestanding column if you want it off the counter
