SNAP: A BOLD ACCENT AMONG FAUCETS COLLECTIONS SIGNED BY FIMA

For SNAP we started out with a rigorous, systematic approach to design, with the choice of casting as the main production process. This is not only a technological choice, but also has an important impact on the appeal of the collection.

Without needing to defer to the diameters of the material in bar form, we were formally freer to set dimensional ratios, balancing the individual aspects of the product micro-architecture.

Having fewer design constraints made it possible to balance the body, spout and lever, as well as joints between elements. And the ability to think about the radii of curvature was crucial in making the product more harmonious and modern. Thus, the cylindrical volumes can take on a bold accent, in line with the most current trends.

The body of SNAP is a single, solid piece, with pronounced radii and an integrated base, which considerably facilitates installation of the product. The control, on the other hand, is more contained, with an elongated, thin lever that offers a flat surface to the eye, but has softened edges in correspondence with the grip.

The handle slides on the body to open and close the water flow, without any formal interruption, to the advantage of usability and aesthetic cleanliness.

Among the SNAP items, an external bathtub solution deserves a special mention: soft lines and exact proportions, without added elements, thanks to a new push-button diverter system integrated into the body of the product.
