Getting to know Zucchetti

In late September, we hosted a fun and informative presentation in our showroom with the Italian luxury brand Zucchetti, to introduce their lastest design styles, Jingle and Savoy, to the design community.

About JINGLE:

“Harmonious proportions and an utterly contemporary look make JINGLE a sober and elegant product for a sophisticated public that appreciates quality and practicality yet is in touch with the latest design trends and recognizes beauty at a glance.”

– Ludovica + Roberto Palomba, designers of Jingle for Zucchetti

The Savoy collection from Zucchetti

About Savoy:

“Classic versus contemporary is the spirit of this new collection, devised primarily for the world of contract, hotels and refined design-rich architecture. Savoy is an extremely versatile product that adapts perfectly to the style of a traditional hotel, in a modern-day elegant equilibrium. Strong point of the collection is the exclusive customisation it offers: colours, finishes and logos can be combined for a wide range of variants. Its finishes and decorative solutions for handles and covers give very different aesthetic results: design-oriented and minimal in matt black and white; classic but original, in chrome teamed with top surfaces in burgundy, ocean blue or bottle green, refined and elegant, in total chrome or platinum. Unique and bespoke.” – Zucchetti website

The Morphing collection from Zucchetti on display at Designer Bath

We have had Zucchetti fixtures on display in our Beverly showroom since early this year. In our entryway, the black and white Zucchetti Morphing freestanding tub stands out as a modern interpretation of the classic clawfoot tub. The exterior of this version can also be specified in red or white, and the interior has a unique matte finish. 

The mirror in the Morphing collection has a uniquely modern design.

Seminar guests took time to explore our showroom. A number of Zucchetti reps were available to answer questions about the brand. Designers who had experience specifying Zucchetti for client projects commented on how smoothly the installation process went and how beautiful the end results were.

speaker from Italy), and Jon Cunningham

Export Manager Franco Platini shared the history and timeline of the Zucchetti brand. They have been manufacturing technically outstanding products reknown for their poetic influences since 1998. Franco attributes Zucchetti’s success in America with the company’s commitment to delivering the luxury of a European product that is able to meet the high expectations of the American consumer who appreciates the value of fine design.
