We have been fascinated by the utilitarian design of industrial valves taps, their proportions and strong features have been a great source of inspiration. At the same time we wanted to counter balance this heavy look with an extremely refined range of finishes spamming going from matte black to natural brass and an extremely precise knurl etching on the grip connection details.
The BOLD collection is the perfect combination of elemental elements reinterpreted in a contemporary way to suit a large spectrum of bathroom styles and a precise clear statement about water control.
Federico Castelli & Antonio Gardoni design for BOLD
The industrial tap design essence is in the design of the BOLD Collection, the new product of IB RUBINETTI designed by Federico Castelli & Antonio Gardoni. Bold because the character of this collection leaves the mark. Marked with a knurling that makes the grip easy and comfortable, the name reinforces the peculiarity of these taps, inspired by the metropolitan design of the industrial taps, where the salient aspects are robustness, essentiality and functionality.
A strong collection, with “character”, a synthesis of a concept that focuses on the aesthetics of the lever, with the will to create something new in the landscape of the bathroom design.
BOLD is available in ten different finishes — chrome, brushed nickel, natural brass, gold, rose gold, pale gold, brushed pale gold, black chrome, brushed black chrome and mat black — with two types of levers — the “flat” and the “round” — combined on a collection of products. A project that reinvents a memorable design with a contemporary touch and leaving the mark with a fresh, courageous and unusual idea. “We are called to be BOLD”.
