The launch of Pan and Soft adds a new facet to the successful collaboration with Studio Palomba and Serafini. Zucchetti brand, which can boast over seventy-five years of history and experience, guarantees the cutting-edge technical safety of these products and the quality of their materials; the signature by Roberto+Ludovica Palomba, internationally renowned designers, on these product lines, assures originality and a unique style.
"Ours is a complex project where products from both collections complement each other," - the architects say - "It is an open project, part of a system conceived to be developed and evolved over time. 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".
PAN
In design terms, Pan's simplicity makes it an extremely complex object.
"We focused on the "joint" between the vertical and horizontal elements. In the same way that there are no cuts and welds in nature, the body of our faucet - which we have conceived like a tree trunk - merges into the spout and the knob, 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 its formal simplicity and the way its various elements are smoothly grafted together. 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.
SOFT
As an expression of contemporary cross-design, the Soft project stems from the need to move tap conception forward from a technical and functional activity to being a complementary process at the service of architecture.
"A sculptural object with extensive flat surfaces whose mirror 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 an object derived from the world of fashion: the luxurious geometry of some of its details is reminiscent of the finish used by buckles and belts in haute couture.
