A Flat/Thin Spout Made of Brass
Zucchetti, the historic leading brand in the bathroom sector, officially launched on the market Octo, the new collection of single-lever mixers designed by David Lopez Quincoces which becomes part of the Waterwords catalogue. Unveiled in preview during Milan Design Week 2023, the collection’s undisputed protagonists are curved lines and thin volumes, in the search for soft, contemporary and unprecedented proportions in the bathroom.

Zucchetti is officially available from Le Château Living (Jl. Barito II No.35, Kebayoran Baru) or text message (WA) at +628111272784

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, a work that focused on the elements of the spout and handle, made extremely thin, and on balancing the 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.

“I like to maintain femininity and roundness in the design: hence the decision of emphasising the faucet’s curves and, consequently, of rebalancing the proportions of the object in an innovative, contemporary result with a strong, yet silent, personality” states Lopez.

A refined technical evolution work bringing water into the faucet’s thin spout. An original, essential and sophisticated object, a portrait of contemporaneity in the bathroom.
