Blade emerges as an expression of a new paradigm in faucet design
The design of Blade is defined by sharp and precise cuts that sculpt its form, giving it a sophisticated and distinctive appearance.
The lever, strategically positioned above the body of the faucet, resembles a thin blade and is the result of advanced technological development that underlines and completes the artistic vision of the design.
Blade is not just a simple mixer, but a sensory experience that enriches the environment with a touch of elegance and precision.
The series offers a wide range of finishes: chrome, matte black, alux, brushed PVD rose gold, glossy and brushed black chrome, brushed metallic, brushed PVD gold brass.
“Blade is the result of a form research that combines concept and technology. The cuts are the characterizing elements of the form, through which the appearance of the faucet becomes unusual and refined. Their presence is functional to the creation of a unique plane between mouth and body to obtain a homogeneous and sharp reflection of light in contrast with the soft and enveloping one of the circular shapes."
Alessandra Bertini is an architect and designer whose profession takes shape from a range of embracing competencies. She specializes in architectural design, interior design, and product design, combining humor and technique. In all of her projects, inspired by the principles of universal design, attention to sustainability and creativity take a central space.
Everything starts with a memory, an emotion, the amazement generated by having experienced a moment or by observing a detail. Ideas and projects are born from that impulse and are represented in a synthesis of lightness and linearity, with the aim of bringing out comfortable forms.
Over the years, some of her projects have received significant recognition, such as the Vespucci Award for research into new biodegradable materials, proFuse for careful study of the usability of kitchen design, Gheroarte for a new concept of urban furnishing, and the Code0039 award for the best eco-gadget.
Some bathroom furnishing projects, developed in collaboration with the Phicubo studio, a collaborative project in which she has been a part of for almost 20 years, have received recognition such as Design Plus Iconic Awards and VeloCity.
