General Information
All Aboutwater products are manufactured with strict practices and materials
that respect the health of the environment. They are designed to ensure the
best durability and inalterability over time and facilitate cleaning
operations.
Material
The products in the AF/21 and AA/27 series are made of stainless steel.
Stainless steel is a first-class material known for its quality and safety. It
offers extraordinary performance, long durability, and high resistance to
corrosion from external agents. It is also eco-friendly, recyclable, and
guarantees maximum hygiene and easy maintenance and cleaning.
Lead-Free Brass
The products in the AF/21, AL/23, and AK/25 series are made of lead-free
brass. These products comply with the US standard NSF/ANSI 372, which ensures
that washbasin and kitchen mixers meant to be in contact with drinking water
do not contain lead at levels higher than 0.25%. This certification safeguards
consumer health.
PVD Finishes
The finishes in Matt Gun Metal PVD, Matt Copper PVD, and Matt British Gold PVD
are obtained with PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) treatment. This method of
deposition of a thin film onto metal objects in a vacuum phase keeps the
surface unaltered. PVD finishes offer various color tones with characteristics
of atoxicity and biocompatibility. These finishes are available on the AF/21,
AK/25 (P5), and AA/27 (P5) series.
Certifications
Fantini products undergo a production cycle entirely accomplished inside their
own factory using high-tech equipment. They are certified for their
performance and solidity by the most important and renowned Certifying
Institutes in the world.

In 2004, MoMA in New York selected this CD player for its permanent collection. In 2003 he founded Naoto Fukasawa Design. In the same year he launched ±0 (Plus Minus Zero), a new brand of electronic household appliances and equipment. Since 2005, he has worked on projects with major companies in Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Northern Europe. In 2005, he founded Super Normal with Jasper Morrison. In June 2006, the first Super Normal exhibition was held in Tokyo and London.

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.
