Ideal Standard, design and innovation in the bathroom environment
For more than 100 years, Ideal Standard products have combined design and cutting-edge technology, taking performance and aesthetics in the bathroom environment to new heights, including with the collaboration of universities and professionals. One example is Intellimix®, the mixer that won the Red Dot Design Award 2021, which redefines the simple act of washing hands: thanks to a timed touch-free dispensing of water and soap in the same device, Intellimix® ensures better hand hygiene and also reduces consumption. Even in the study of new materials, Ideal Standard shows that it always strives for innovation: for example, Diamatec® is an exclusive blend that takes ceramics to a higher level, and allows for sanitary ware with very thin edges, but at the same time robust and safe. Design has always been in Ideal Standard's DNA, as evidenced by collaborations with some of the world's greatest designers, including Gio Ponti, Achille Castiglioni, Paolo Tilche and, more recently, with the renowned Italian design studio Palomba Serafini Associati. These collaborations have led to the creation of uniquely designed products that combine aesthetics and functionality. Among the products designed by the Palomba Serafini studio we find the i.life collection, characterized by geometric shapes that combine with delicate curves, for a contemporary bathroom environment that is pleasant to live in. The Tipo-Z washbasin, from the Atelier collection, also by Ludovica+Roberto Palomba studio, is an iconic, timeless object, a freestanding washbasin made from a single block, with integrated column and basin.
