Water is one of the essential elements we are made of. We have both been spending energy thinking about and considering shapes of water. By observing each other we have realized we have a lot in common, sharing ideals, ideas, aims and attitudes. That is why it has been natural to join together and create the Aboutwater project. Aboutwater is a partnership between two leading companies: Boffi and Fantini. The partnership is based on the concept of creating a new collection of faucets and shower systems with a modern and elegant design, conceptually excellent and flawless to be distributed through the sales network of the two companies, cooperating and aiming to extend the market beyond their respective segments. All Aboutwater products are manufactured under strict practices and with materials that respect the health of the environment, assuring the best duration and intolerability over time and facilitating the cleaning operations. _ Washbasin mixers manufactured with Brass that are in contact with drinking water do not contain lead at levels higher than 0.25%, complying with US standard NSF/ANSI 372, which is currently the most advanced international standard to safeguard consumer health. _ STAINLESS STEEL The AF/21 series designed by Naoto Fukasawa is also available in the Brushed Stainless Steel an eco-compatible material, which guarantees the maximum hygiene and resistance to corrosion. _ AF/21 by Naoto Fukasawa, in polished chrome and brushed stainless steel, is the result of an exploration into the simplification of forms, thought out in terms of maximum clarity. The design is reduced almost to a pure icon, where the aesthetic quality of materials is emphasized. The faucets and shower systems become discs and cylinders; the faucets reminiscent of the forms found on the controls of a stereo, the shower system the concise elegance of the language of iconography.
