The Barbican hand basin was specially designed to fit into the rather diminutive toilets which the City provided in their flats.

The hand basin was designed by L Michael Hohmann, who was an architect working with Chamberlin Powell & Bon, and who later practiced as LMH Design at The White House, 179 White Horse Hill, Chislehurst, Kent BR7 6DH.

The hand basin was a unique ‘Barbican’ design which was specially made by Twyfords in 1966.
