A Dialogue Between Heritage and Experimentation

For over nine decades, Mamoli has shaped its identity at the intersection of aesthetic research and technological innovation—positioning tapware as an integral part of contemporary living. Mamoli continues its exploration of design culture with a preview of the Joe Colombo and Sottsass collections—an evolution that deepens its dialogue with the masters of Italian design.

Following figures such as Gio Ponti, Alessandro Mendini, Achille Castiglioni, and Antonia Campi, the addition of Joe Colombo and Ettore Sottsass extends a vision where past and present quietly converge.

Joe Colombo Collection

The Joe Colombo Collection originates from Visiona 1 (1969) and the Total Furnishing Unit (1972), first presented at Museum of Modern Art—projects that imagined the home as a continuous, integrated system, now reinterpreted through a fluid and quietly futuristic approach to tapware. The three-hole tall spout is defined by a seamless geometry that softens any sense of mechanical interruption, resulting in a form that feels both sculptural and intuitive. In its wall-mounted version, Colombo’s horizontal logic is translated vertically, creating a more spatial interaction. A saturated palette—mustard yellow, scarlet red, and blue—introduces a graphic clarity, while total black offers a more restrained, enveloping presence.

In contrast, the Sottsass Collection approaches design as an expressive and symbolic act. For Ettore Sottsass, objects were never purely functional, but part of a broader emotional and perceptual landscape. This perspective takes form in the hot-enameled Y-shaped lever—distinct and independent from the cylindrical body—transforming use into gesture. The composition balances formal rigor with expressive tension, allowing the object to move beyond utility into something more experiential, almost performative in its presence.

Presented by Magran Living

Rather than following convention, the collection introduces a subtle shift in how tapware is perceived—less as an accessory, and more as an active element within the atmosphere of the home.

Both collections will be presented at Salone del Mobile.Milano 2026, within an installation that traces Mamoli’s ongoing dialogue with design history—where memory and vision meet, and where design continues to evolve with quiet intent.
