I hear: the freestanding tap GRAFF l Archiportale

(Translated from Italian) Essential and rigorous. Synthetic. I feel it is the program of taps with bath accessories featuring the distinctive synthesis. Designed by angeletti ruzza design for GRAFF, I feel relies on pure form that is enhanced by the almost obsessive search of perfect proportions in combination of sensuality and rigor. The classical architecture of the body-mouth-lever mixer is redefined in favor of a contemporary form and streamlined without compromising in any way the functionality. Materials, details, invoice, production processes, emotion, memory are an expression of the deep quality of this fitting.

FEEL is a simple product for which the design has resulted in the resolution of numerous complexity first of all the design of the lever which had to be solid and light at the same time, to prevent the excessive weight, determined by its length, the bore to close again alone.

The faucet body has a diameter bodied that covers the hole in the sink while avoiding unsightly whiskers. It has worked with sinuous cuts that allow the cartridge placed inside to make all the moves he needs while avoiding the unsightly caps and cuts normally made on the levers. The spout is machined so as to obtain the water passages in the center and allowing to obtain the thicknesses slender outside that give the faucet a great lightness.
Product brass emptied very low in nickel and lead, to guarantee a long life - five years warranty GRAFF - the tap is made in compliance with the regulations for drinking water and then based on the more restrictive criteria required for the protection of health and the environment.
The production system of GRAFF is based on an innovative concept of Lean Manufacturing Management. By eliminating the excessive consumption of time, energy and materials each process achieves substantial efficiency standards. Even in the process of casting, finishing and galvanizing, GRAFF uses a zero-discharge system that recycles 100% of 'brass and paper. In line with its strong commitment to environmental sustainability, the products of the collection I feel are some of the most sustainable of the US, among the first in the world to publicly expressed willingness to contribute really to eliminate its impact on ' environment in the near future.
Design and produce this mixer has meant for the company and for the designers to solve the complexity effectively and intelligently, without trivializing, and without losing sight of the meaning and substance. I feel it is not a pure formal exercise it mere functionality. It 'a product that can exist in time, linked to the company and to its changes. I FEEL the system consists of 15 elements of taps and a full line of accessories all available in chrome, black and white, opaque material effect, made with powder coating.
