Junip Bathroom Tumbler in Terrazzo Grey by Umbra
Bathroom counters collect the small things, and the Junip Tumbler by Umbra gives them somewhere good-looking to sit. Designed in collaboration with global architecture studio Gensler, the Junip collection takes its cues from old apothecary bottles: weighted, rounded forms that feel settled and considered rather than fussy. This version comes in a terrazzo finish, a soft grey resin flecked with muted multicolour speckle, so it reads as a small piece of stone rather than a plastic cup. At 7 x 7 x 10 cm it holds a couple of toothbrushes comfortably, or works just as well as a rinse cup, a cotton bud holder, or a vessel for small makeup brushes on the vanity. The resin is dense and smooth with a slight matte feel, easy to wipe clean and far more forgiving than ceramic or glass if it takes a tumble off the bench. It pairs naturally with the rest of the range, including the Junip Wall Soap Pump, and sits comfortably alongside the other pieces in our Umbra collection. Is the terrazzo finish real stone? No. It is a moulded resin with speckle set into the material, which gives the look of terrazzo at a fraction of the weight, with no risk of chipping or staining the way natural stone can. Is it safe to use as a drinking cup? Junip is designed as a bathroom tumbler for rinsing and for holding toothbrushes. We would not recommend it for hot drinks or regular use as a kitchen glass. How do I clean it? Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Skip abrasive cleaners so the surface keeps its smooth finish. As a gift, this is the piece that fills the gap when a bigger present is already sorted. It suits a housewarming, a flatting send-off, a teenager's first proper bathroom set-up, or a small thank-you for someone who has just renovated. Pair it with a bar of good soap and the Droplet Soap Dish and it becomes a ready-made bathroom bundle. You will find more pieces to build that out in our Bathroom collection. Why You'll Love It Speckled terrazzo resin gives the look of stone without the weight or fragility Apothecary-inspired shape designed by Umbra with architecture studio Gensler Compact 7 x 7 x 10 cm footprint, sized for two or three toothbrushes Dense, smooth, wipe-clean surface that shrugs off everyday knocks Coordinates with the full Junip range for a cohesive vanity Priced to gift, easy to post, and kind to small bathrooms Styling the Vanity The grey terrazzo is at its best against white or off-white tile and pale timber, where the speckle reads as texture rather than pattern. Group it with a soap pump and a small tray so the three pieces form a loose cluster in one corner of the bench rather than scattering across it. In a coastal or Japandi bathroom, keep the surrounding palette restrained (stone, linen, unlacquered brass) and let the tumbler carry the only fleck of colour. For a guest bathroom, set it beside a folded hand towel and a single stem in a small bottle; it gives the room the feeling of being looked after without any real effort. The short of it The Umbra Junip Tumbler in Terrazzo Grey is a 7 x 7 x 10 cm bathroom tumbler and toothbrush holder made from speckled grey resin, designed by Umbra in collaboration with Gensler and inspired by apothecary bottles. It suits modern, coastal and Japandi bathrooms, coordinates with the Junip Wall Soap Pump and wider Umbra range, and makes an affordable housewarming or thank-you gift.
