ABOUTWATER AA27 Faucets and Shower System
Introduction
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.
All Aboutwater products are manufactured with under strict practices and materials respect the health of the environment ensuring the best duration and inalterability over time and facilitating the cleaning operations.
Materials
STAINLESS STEEL
A first-class material both in terms of quality and safety, stainless steel
offers extraordinary performances. Being compact and solid, it ensures long
durability and offers the highest resistance to corrosion from external agents
which helps maintain its features over time.
This is an eco-friendly and recyclable material. It guarantees the maximum
hygiene and easy maintenance and cleaning.
The products of the series AF/21, AA/27 are made of stainless steel
BRASS
Complying with US standard NSF/ANSI 372, which is currently the most advanced
international standard to safeguard consumer health, washbasin and kitchen
mixers meant to be in contact withdrinking water do not contain lead at levels
higher than 0.25%.

Finishing
Matt Gun Metal PVD / Matt Copper PVD / Matt British Gold PVD are all obtained
with PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) treatment.
This is a method of deposition of a thin film onto metal objects in a vacuum
phase that keeps the surface unaltered. Also used in the aerospace and
biomedical fields, it allows various colour tones to be obtained with
characteristics of atoxicity and biocompatibility. PVD finishes are available
on the AF/21, AK/25 (P5), AA/27(P5).

MICHAEL ANASTASSIADES
Michael Anastassiades is a Cypriot designer, based in London.
He launched his studio in 1994 to explore contemporary notions of culture and
aesthetics through a combination of product, furniture and environmental
design. Positioned between fine art and design, his work aims to provoke
dialogue, participation and interaction. He creates objects that are minimal,
utilitarian and almost mundane yet full of a vitality one might not expect.
Anastassiades’ work is featured in permanent collections at the Museum Of
Modern Art in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Crafts Council in
London, the FRAC Centre in Orleans France and the MAK in Vienna. Recent solo
exhibitions include Time And Again at the Geymüllerschlössel/MAK in Vienna, To
Be Perfectly Frank at Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm, Norfolk House music room at
the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Cyprus Presidency at the European
Parliament in Brussels Belgium, Atelier Jesper Brussels . He has designed
products with various leading manufacturers including Flos, Puiforcat, Lobmeyr
and Svenskt Tenn.
In 2007 he set up Michael Anastassiades the company to produce his signature
pieces, a collection of lighting, furniture, jewellery and tabletop objects.
The studio’s philosophy is a continuous search for eclecticism, individuality
and timeless qualities in design. Michael trained as a civil engineer at
London’s Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine before taking a
Master’s Degree in industrial design at the Royal College of Art.
Boffi and Fantini, two consolidated realities of the Italian design.
Both companies have achieved undisputed leadership in their respective industries, thanks to excellent production qualities, a high level of creativity and a strong international profile. In spite of their international presence, Boffi and Fantini preserves their passion for properly-made projects and inheritance of their artisan origins, to make this enthusiasm their key point for their competitive advantage.
Boffi is known worldwide for its high end furniture for kitchen, bathroom and systems. The company has been held in high esteem for decades as an innovative firm in not only design and production, but also in distribution, communication and production management. Boffi has traditionally worked in the kitchen industry, winning the Compasso d’Oro career award and moving in the 1990s into the bathroom sector; this expansion led not only to new products but also to aesthetic and technological refinements, resulting in a brand new approach to the market.
Fantini represents cutting edge aesthetic research and technological
perfection in the high-end faucets and shower systems sector, with a historic
vocation for high precision to the engineer and quality production.
Founded in 1951, Fantini has become a leader in the most demanding segment of
the market, thanks to an incomparable know-how and collaborations with famous
designers such as Enzo Mari, King & Miranda, Franco Sargiani, Benedini
Associati, Giovanna Talocci and Matteo Thun.
After the company’s first international success in 1977 with the collection “I
balocchi”, by Pedrizzetti and Mercatali, Fantini has progressed year-onyear to
become an indispensable landmark for innovation in the bathroom industry and
has won several international awards and acknowledgements.
