The Purity of a Tubular Form Becomes the Architecture of Water Massimiliano Settimelli
Massimiliano Settimelli distills the essence of contemporary design into a single geometric gesture with Tubex, the latest faucet collection for Zazzeri. Crafted entirely from AISI 316L stainless steel, the series explores how a simple tubular profile can become the defining architectural element of the bathroom.

Free from unnecessary embellishment, Tubex embraces clean lines, balanced proportions, and the inherent beauty of its material. The corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless steel not only ensures exceptional durability but also lends the collection a refined, understated elegance suited to both residential and hospitality interiors.

The design language extends across every detail. Both the spout and handle derive from the same cylindrical form, while the conventional angled cut on the rear of the handle has been eliminated to achieve a more seamless and sculptural silhouette. Available with either a minimalist lever or a cylindrical control, each version reinforces the collection’s coherent visual identity through subtle geometric references to the tube itself.

Beyond its signature brushed stainless steel finish, Tubex is offered in six sophisticated PVD finishes—Carbon, Anthracite, Bronzorame, Rame, Cognac, and Orobianco—allowing the collection to adapt effortlessly from restrained minimalist settings to warmer, more tactile interiors.

Conceived as a complete bathroom system, the range includes countertop and wall-mounted washbasin mixers, bidet faucets, bathtub mixers, shower controls, and newly designed showerheads. With Tubex, Massimiliano Settimelli demonstrates how a fundamental geometric form can evolve into a timeless, architecturally driven collection where precision engineering and material integrity take center stage.
