Technological innovation and design in the Boomerang and Fly mixers, two of the products recently presented at the Salone del Mobile 2014 by Gattoni Rubinetteria.

“Exciting, fluid and functional for an exaltation of the object's tactility”. The concept of Boomerang, designed by Marco Piva for Gattoni Rubinetteria, reflects in detail the design characteristics of its creator. Marco Piva praises the company's attitude towards the project: a real brainstorming to understand which direction the design of an object should take on an already existing technique and a very dynamic, fluid tap emerged.

BOOMERANG - in fact - presents the innovative system designed by Gattoni Rubinetteria which provides a new mode of intervention in case of maintenance or replacement of internal parts, can be performed easily and quickly by acting directly on the valve already installed on your health, without removing the mixer from the plant and without forcing plumbers to complicated operations vanity.

And 'the whole body of the faucet to be "pulled" from its seat. Using a small screwdriver, unscrew the Allen screw that holds the handle in place of the mixer and extracted; subsequently, with the same operation, it loosens the one placed on the back of the wire to the health body to completely release all the casing. With speed and precision becomes possible to intervene directly on "" internal engine by replacing the cartridge, or, even, by replacing the "body" itself, if this is the need. The washbasin of the cartridge (25 mm diameter) is composed of sintered ceramic discs and is tested in the laboratory with 80.000 of opening and closing cycles. Delivers 9 liters of water per minute, sufficient for optimal enjoyment, without unnecessary waste.

Says Marco Piva: "The idea of ​​the boomerang is coming later in relation to this conceptualization of water movement, of fluidity that the product should present with respect to a very essential form, which also has the capacity to be able to be interpreted with a series of small accessories in to make it very functional to the various user targets " .

Continues the designer: "And 'my intention to deepen the finish, because this is a subject that fascinates me a lot, that is the possibility of treating metal surfaces so they can vibrate with the light and not be solved at once. I play the translating design reflection, opacity, tactility to the newlyweds object environments in which it will fit. "

The BOOMERANG series is completed with three solutions to sink (high, normal, wall), bidet, shower and bath-shower mixer and bath-shower mixer with diverter. BOOMERANG is matched to the large shower program of the company, also including the heads chromotherapy.

"For some time I had in mind to draw a cock!" For Peter Gaeta is the first experience in the bathroom so, and in particular the taps, even if by a couple of years had contacts with this - for him - "unexplored" environment of the house.

"Mine is a style a bit 'eclectic, I want to get out of what is the classic architecture track trying to tap into other worlds such as those related to me more art and music." Gaeta continues "This project was born of invitation from the marketing of Gattoni, with whom I had the opportunity to collaborate in past years; I am very attached to the eco-sustainability issues, I try to combine the aesthetic values ​​and technological innovation, with the company I was very in tune for this common interest.

The lightness of a strongly evocative name at the service of a complete project in which the designer's hand creates value for the content designed by the company: FLY presents the innovative system conceived by Gattoni Rubinetteria which ensures a new intervention method in case of maintenance o replacement of internal parts, which can be carried out easily and quickly by acting directly on the tap already installed on the sanitary, without disconnecting the mixer from the system and without forcing the plumbers to carry out complicated under-basin operations.

And 'the whole body of the faucet to be "pulled" from its seat. Using a small screwdriver, unscrew the Allen screw that holds the handle in place of the mixer and extracted; subsequently, with the same operation, it loosens the one placed on the back of the wire to the health body to completely release all the casing. With speed and precision becomes possible to intervene directly on "" internal engine by replacing the cartridge, or, even, by replacing the "body" itself, if this is the need.

The washbasin of the cartridge (25 mm diameter) is composed of sintered ceramic discs and is tested in the laboratory with 80.000 of opening and closing cycles. Delivers 9 liters of water per minute, sufficient for optimal enjoyment, without unnecessary waste. The mixer of the lever is very important, it outlines first as trapezoidal shape, to terminate in triangular.

"Since it is the dress to make the Monaco, taking for granted the technical value and functional mixer, I tried to design the best dress! And 'the shape, the design to generate empathy with the outside, and is the view of the direction that allows to capture the object. My project will draw on the past and the industrial world to be at the service of the home environment but also of the community places ".
