At Milan Design Week (18-23 April) Flaminia takes the limelight on the international design scene again with an ambitious project that brings together art and technique with outstanding results. In the showroom at 18 via Solferino, the brand showcases the new creations for 2023 and hosts Taki, an installation designed by Nendo, a multidisciplinary studio headed by designer Oki Sato.
The Company based in Civita Castellana inaugurated its collaboration with the renowned Japanese designer with the creation, in 2010, of the iconic washbasin Roll and its free-standing version Monoroll. A collection of striking and unique design, born of the idea of a sheet of paper rolled up on itself.
Taki is comprised of three suspended elements of different sizes, arranged in a slightly staggered configuration that transforms them into the small terraces of an evocative waterfall. «Taki, as a visual metaphor, evokes the movement, the expression of water as seen in nature, where it collects in a pond, or in a lake, flows, and resumes its journey», explains Oki Sato who has design studios in Milan and Tokyo.
«Studio Nendo confirms its sensitivity and its enchanted gaze on the world with an inspirational project, which perfectly embodies the spirit of Flaminia. The company, in fact, has always sought a fruitful interchange with the most sophisticated creative minds that can contribute to the brand’s narrative through evocative images», remarks Giulio Cappellini, art director of the brand.
The Milan venue also hosts the new products for 2023 that converse with Flaminia’s best sellers along a fluid path characterised by colour experimentation and the introduction of two new shades, Uva and Menta, on display alongside the brand’s representative colours: Latte and Carbone, Fango and Nuvola, Argilla and Cenere, Petrolio and Rosso Rubens. Thus, the most recent interpretations by Niccolò Adolini, Giulio Cappellini and Elena Salmistraro are unveiled alongside historical products signed by Patrick Norguet, Jasper Morrison and Alessio Pinto.
On the display stand, the pure shapes and essential geometry of the sanitary ware and the bathtub from the Play collection styled by the Flaminia Design Team stand out, as do the CM3 ceramic shower trays, only 3 cm high, available in six sizes and four colours.
Two new models from the Applight line are also on display: a hand washbasin with a side tap surface and a generously sized washbasin with two bowls, as well as a series of accessories and storage cabinets.
As borne out by its production history, Flaminia continues to invest in innovative projects that revolutionise the aesthetics of the bathroom environment.
