Practical, essential, and humble are some of the values revered by Shakers, an American sect that has anticipated Modernism since the 18th century. Inspired by their frills-fee functionality, Italian designer Odo Fioravanti has created a bathroom system for Artdeco based on two zinc-plated metal T-profiles. Various elements, including washbasins, storage units, mirrors, lighting, and other accessories, are attached to the profiles to create a neat, minimalist, and practical statement design.

Ceramica Dolomite presents the Move washbasin by Nilo Gioacchini. Defined by thin edges that create a visual lightness and tactility, the bowl evokes waves’ movement, creating a continuous flow. The design also includes customisable shower trays, shelves, and accessories. It is available in gold and silver, as well as classic matte white and matte black to match both contemporary and classic styles.

Albatross birds’ regal freedom and weightlessness inspired Gianluca Belli of Pichubo Studio to design a sleek collection of faucets for Rubinetterie Treemme. The new series “was born instinctively, from pure design, in a search to give water a body, which offers itself by moving toward the user,” explains the designer. Sculptural and fluid forms interpret dynamism and vitality in the name of functionality. Thanks to a flat, 22-millimetre-thin cartridge, the design seems to plane over the basin.

Light and sturdy, the functional designs come in hues inspired by famed Italian destinations – including the green or yellow you can find in Ischia or Amalfi.
