It consists of over 100 items, innovative in their shaping and functions, and immediately available on the market.
Faraway is the most complete and extensive collection ever created for the bathroom.
From hotels to private homes, it brings a revolutionary new iconography into the bathroom environment.
It consists of a highly flexible kit of components: a collection that is demountable and modular, making it possible to organise the bathroom space in totally innovative ways. It includes new combinable systems such as the Faraway/Vis-à-vis twin tubs with freestanding taps, or the Faraway/Round system, a freestanding washbasin with freestanding or wall-mounted taps + a mobile trolley or + a wood enclosure. These are new solutions that create a more relaxed, contemporary, unconventional bathroom environment.
The Faraway/Square system creates a more classic type of bathroom space, consisting of a washbasin with a wood cabinet + wall-mounted or free-standing taps, or the wall-mounted Faraway/Vis-à-vis basin with wall-mounted or free-standing taps. The Faraway range answers every need, fulfills every area of today’s taste, and interprets the dreams of every type of person.
Faraway is the metaphor for a distant journey, to rediscover the senses and explore a new world of wellness, completely different from the usual concept of “wellbeing”. With fragrances, aromas, velvety-soft surfaces, and rounded shapes that invite soft, natural caresses, Faraway suggests a nomadic bathroom, and gives physical form to the experience of the senses, anywhere in the world.
Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, the designers: “We live in a fluid, dynamic society that is changing and becoming. Wellness must no longer mean going through a daily routine, but having an experience. Faraway is a kit of components that consists of beautiful things, relaxed shapes, surfaces meant to be touched. The warmth of burnt ash, the softness of cristalplant, and the scents of incenses: these are all integral to the project as key elements that help to define a new made-to-measure form of well-being that corresponds both to the real (physical) and/or the virtual (inner) journey all of us take, wherever we are in the world.”
Faraway also brings formal and typological innovation to the products: the Faraway/Mixer freestanding tapware for the bath is an entirely new design. It can be combined with other items: holders for incense and fragrances, and a metal trolley for storing bathroom objects. The differential shaping of the Faraway/Vis-à-vis bathtub explores new ergonomics of the body.
The power of this iconic project is amplified by its refined white gloss or chromed finishes, the purity of its fresh, soft materials like Cristalplant ©, and its technologies, which are advanced but never intrusive. It is destined to change forever the iconography of the contemporary bathroom.
Elena Zucchetti_CEO Zucchetti e Kos: “Faraway is possibly the most challenging collection ever achieved by Zucchetti. Over 200 prototypes have been designed and developed. 4 years of research, the first of which entirely dedicated to sociological studies and market surveys. I strongly wanted to engender a vision of ambiences, not just of products: of new gestures, not banal rituals. I wanted a different atmosphere. A journey in search of another dimension: a new adventure.”
