Concrete - Not Just Outside Anymore

Aventura Digest
May 9, 2025
Kast, the UK-based design house known for its bold and beautifully crafted concrete basins, has introduced an exciting update to its Holm collection. Originally celebrated for its elegant terrazzo inserts, Holm now offers a fresh level of personalisation with mix-and-match options that include plain concrete inserts alongside terrazzo, giving designers and homeowners greater freedom to create unique combinations.
Each basin in the Holm collection—Anno, Nema, and Mesa—can now be customized with up to two colors per unit, further enhancing its versatility. Customers can select from Kast’s signature 28-colour palette, allowing them to craft a basin that perfectly complements their space. Whether opting for a bold terrazzo insert or a more minimalist plain alternative, the updated Holm collection strikes the perfect balance between sophisticated style and functional design.
“This refresh is about giving people more creative control,” says Amy Bartlett, Creative Director at Kast. “By offering the option of plain concrete inserts in either matching or contrasting colors, each basin can become a more personalized expression of a space. We wanted to build on what people already loved about Holm—its balance of boldness and refinement—and give even more freedom to express that in new and individual ways.”
Designed with versatility in mind, the removable insert not only offers a distinctive visual feature but also cleverly conceals the basin waste for a seamless look. Whether terrazzo or plain, inserts are easy to lift out for straightforward cleaning and maintenance.
Featuring three models—Anno, Nema, and Mesa—Holm basins can be wall-hung (Nema and Mesa) or surface-mounted across the full range. Nema and Mesa are also available with optional deck-mounted tap holes for added customisation. The new pricing remains accessible, starting at £1,500 / $2,100 / €1,800 RRP.
The updated collection stays true to Kast’s roots: every piece is handcrafted in the UK using locally sourced Derbyshire limestone, with a commitment to quality and artistry. The result is a durable, sculptural product that embodies the very best of British design.
