Fir Italia launched a series of new finishes and tapware to add to its extensive collection during Fuorisalone 2022 in Milan earlier this year.
New finishes
Four unique finishes in taps and mixers, intended for special and exclusive settings, were featured. The Outfit programme includes a new family of finishes that embody a glam concept, with an iridescent effect that gives them a different colour depending on how light is reflected: Ocean Dream, the deep blue of sea abysses holds thrilling solar and lunar reflections; Blazing Sunset, the warm light of the sunset illuminates the room; Brown Caramel, a warm caramel shade merges with bold iridescent reflections, ranging from amber to burnished; Mocha Coffee, a colour scheme that progressively lights up, from dark shades towards carmine highlights.
Brushed: The brushed finishings of Fir Italia have already ‘clothed’ very many taps and mixers, including at high end hotels, and have now been redesigned with a more modern look, with an eye to contemporary tastes. The catalogue is thus enriched with three new finishings: Deep Bronze, a variant with an unmistakable identity, that combines handcrafted processes on metals and dark hues warmed up by material reflections; Urban Brass, the historical antiqued brass finishing is given a new, contemporary look, thanks to new brushed effects, that enhance the character and personality of the taps and mixers; Industrial Copper, vintage charm continues to win hearts thanks to a trendy copper finishing, designed for the bold-hearted.
The new collections of taps and mixers
For Fuorisalone, Fir Italia also launched three new collections: Nohea 77, Eveleen 39 and Kley 68 – designer taps and mixers with a green soul, fitted as standard with aerators to reduce the water flow to 6 L/m for washbasin and bidet mixers, and to 9 L/m for shower heads, leading to an approximately 50% reduction in consumption.
Nohea 77: Designed by Francesco Lucchese, the brand’s Art Director, Nohea 77 expresses extreme technical precision, care for details, an actual homage to cylindrical shapes, with the intrinsic value added by craftsmanship.
The three-hole collection is complemented by an extremely rich range of combined finishings, featuring colour schemes and contrasts that are far from commonplace. Two-handle mixers with an essential cylindrical design, fitted with handles, enriched with a finely worked central element, which provides the opportunity for creating endless two-colour finishings, collected into families. The catalogue includes 24 combinations of finishings divided into 12 families. All possible combinations are available for the contract sector – on request – for a total of 576 different outfits (colour combos).
Eveleen 39: Also designed by Francesco Lucchese, Eveleen 39 stands out for its cylindrical shapes, in a new take on their essential character. The distinctive four-pointed handles now have a new shape, which is emphasised by the notable feature of the upper and lower sections of the elements, incorporating flat and smooth surfaces into a round circular shape, for a truly unique design.
Kley 68: Designed by R&D Fir Italia, Kley 68 is a new collection of the Easy Design programme and features a lateral control that complements the range offered by the brand. The neat square design, with sharp and clear-cut lines, meets the clean shapes created by the laterally placed handle featuring a vertical lever, a detail that combines aesthetics and practicality.
