Venezia Wall Basin/Bath Mixer

Fantini unveils the Venezia tapware collection, an icon of luxury and allusive elegance designed by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez. The optional glass handles are crafted from Murano handblown glass with the cores of coloured glass enclosed in a transparent bevelled glass casing, like fossils from the new millennium drowned in glass to protect them against the ravages of time. The end result is an object with vibrant edges and an outline which is both clear-cut and, at the same time, mobile. An object which, formally speaking through its hexagonal sections, pays tribute to liquid mechanics and, ironically, its handles seem to evoke upturned glasses, illusions to an everyday use of water.
