Dubai-based Bagno Design says the recent launch of the Pan and Soft range has added a new facet to the successful collaboration between Zucchetti and Studio Palomba & Serafini.

“Zucchetti has over 75 years of history and experience in the bathroom industry and guarantees cutting-edge technical safety along with the highest quality of materials,” says a spokesman for Bagno Design. “The signature of internationally-renowned designers Roberto+Ludovica Palomba on these product lines assures originality and a unique style.
Products from both collections complement each other. The collections are part of an open system conceived to be developed and evolved over time, according to the developers of the lines.
“In our way of thinking, the bathroom is an architectural space that should have the same quality of finishes and furnishings as other rooms in the home. This is why our taps are designed as small sculptures, as objects with a strong visual and tactile personality,” says a spokesman for Zucchetti.

Pan
In design terms, Pan’s simplicity makes it an extremely complex entity.
“We focused on the ‘joint’ between the vertical and horizontal elements. Drawing from nature, where there are no cuts and welds, the body of the new faucet – conceived as a tree trunk – merges into the spout and the handles through a joint that is designed softly, using precisely the same non-traumatic logic as the graft between a branch and the trunk.
“The uniqueness of this modestly-sized product lies in the contrast between the simplicity of its form and the way its various elements have been grafted together smoothly. Pan stems from an idea that has developed into a highly complex system – an industrial response to the countless requirements and facets of contemporary taste.
“In addition to the more commonplace items, the Pan collection also proposes various solutions for showers and baths, and the individual items are designed to be integrated with a whole series of accessories and fittings to generate new solutions for bathroom design,” he adds.

Soft
As an expression of contemporary cross-design, the Soft range stems from the need to move the tap conception forward from a technical and functional activity to being a complement to the architecture, says the spokesman.
“A sculptural object with extensive flat surfaces – whose mirror-like qualities reflect the light of a space – Soft draws its inspiration from the contemporary architecture of lofts and refers to the product with the same type of luminosity and contemporary charm.”
The surfaces are joined with rounded corners and “soft” connections, creating a fashion statement, with the geometry of some of its details being reminiscent of the finish used by buckles and belts in haute couture, the spokesman concludes.
