Earlier this year as part of Milan Design Week, Zucchetti officially launched on the market Octo, the new collection of single-lever mixers designed by David Lopez Quincoces.
The collection, part of the Waterwords catalogue, features curved lines and thin volumes to create a contemporary aesthetic in the bathroom. Octo was born with a very specific intent: to introduce a flat spout design entirely made of brass. Lopez’s design developed from the desire to add roundness to the product. Focussing on the elements of the spout and handle, which are both deliberately extremely thin, creates a balance of proportions to give the collection a softer and less squared, yet very linear feeling.
A refined aesthetic guides the essential design of the object in a rational product, where the various elements are divided with clean and regular cuts.
Octo is available in various finishes: chrome, polished and brushed nickel, polished and brushed metal black, matte black and in the British gold, gold, copper, chocolate and total black PVD brushed finishes. As a result, the product is suitable for a range of bathroom environments.
A collection of single-lever mixers for the bathroom, all items are fitted with sintered ceramic-disc cartridges, 25cm in diameter, certified in compliance with the strictest international standards. Ad hoc devices regulate and limit water flow in compliance with current and most stringent standards, to guarantee water and energy savings.
The lever engages on the body of the single lever mixer, with a simple horizontal cut, that maintains the continuity of the clean and rational shape.
