Mendini Collection

Design Alessandro Mendini

The tap designed by Alessandro Mendini is a project that stands out for its essential and rigorous shapes, derived from the elaboration of the parallelepiped, a pure volume from which water flows. The collection is born from this simple geometry, full of an elegant emotional force, expressed through the parallel lines and the shiny surfaces that come to life. A perfect synergy between aesthetic research and technology.

“For some time I had in mind to design a tap made of a parallelepiped. An elementary volume from which water flows. Square and schematic sections, parallel lines, straight, flat and shiny surfaces. Hence the Euclide tap, a primary form of ancient geometry. Mamoli gave me this opportunity. They studied the technique and the functions in depth, then we articulated the entire series, with great pleasure and speed.” Alessandro Mendini, March 2004

Alessandro Mendini

Born in 1931, Alessandro Mendini was a visionary intellectual, designer and architect, and one of the most influential innovators of Italian design over the past 50 years. Since the 1970s, Mendini played a central role in the renewal of Made in Italy production, helping to redefine the boundaries between art, design and architecture through his unique vision and language. As editor-in-chief of the prestigious magazines Domus, Casabella and Modo, he created true icons of design. In 2014, he was awarded the Compasso d’Oro for Lifetime Achievement, the industry’s highest honour, marking the culmination of an extraordinary career. For Mamoli, he designed the collection that bears his name.
