InformationCLOSER | Wall-mounted washbasin mixer
The Closer showerhead, launched in 2014, won a number of awards and soon became one of the company’s most popular iconic products thanks to its ability to combine creativity, innovation and technology. The Closer family has now been expanded with a new line of mixers.
According to the designer, "The idea of freedom embodied by the Closer showerhead is also expressed in the Closer tap collection. Joints and rotations remain a constant feature of the project, establishing a dynamic, direct relationship with water."
"Taming water" for the purposes of customised wellbeing, to be experienced every day, simplifies daily life and gives it a new image, going beyond the usual schemes and aiming to achieve maximum comfort: these are the goals powerfully inspiring the entire Closer collection.
Diego Grandi is renewing the conceptual matrix of his design approach, which aims to create products that reinvent the everyday gestures associated with water, and give shape to a wellness that is easy to use and personalise. Thanks to this development of its design, Closer now attains a level of comfort, practicality and aesthetic impact that is really extraordinary.
Harmonised shapes work together to achieve overall balance; corners are rounded off to give a simple, ergonomic grip; and the design of the connections makes it possible to turn round in the space in unexpected ways. Closer is going beyond the limits of the classic water tap: more than applying design to the physical material, it designs the water itself and delivers it to "wherever you want it."
