“Our aim is to produce products that are 100% perfect, 100% of the time.”
As a family and a company, Fantini has always been deeply rooted in Pella, on the shores of Lake D’Orta. In this small, very special town, which the Americans would describe as “in the middle of nowhere”, water is a leading player and products are created here for daily life to bring water into their homes, continuously renewing a little drop of magic that has become essential today.
If we think about it, outstanding Italian products almost always come about in small towns and villages, in isolated and sheltered places, far away from the noise of the major urban concentrations; in contrast, these rarely produce striking innovations. It is as though, in order to express itself with all its power, creativity needs isolation, concentration and total dedication.
Fantini invent and produce with a clear and ambitious aim that they never fail to meet: invention, design and technology must proceed together, as inseparable elements of creation targeted to seek perfection, with the strong conviction that innovating even the smallest detail of this production microcosm can contribute to improving the quality of life. Design is part of the company DNA and the heritage of its long experience of production: but the result of the work always comes from a team effort, from a way of proceeding that sees many players on the stage, each with his or her own role, but without any hierarchies. And from a way of proceeding that places the individual, their qualities and capacities, at the centre of the process; from designers to technicians, from managers to workers, in their own role each contributes to the final result of the product. And so it is that from here, from this small place, which sometimes is even hard to find on the map, Fantini, thanks to its capacity and its knowledge of the quality of Italian products, has disseminated its products around the world, in an international circuit that today links Shanghai, Sidney, New York, Buenos Aires, Mumbai or Cape Town virtually with Lake D’Orta and Italy.
‘’Elegant, modern, designed with a unique, original touch, to reflect my lifestyle. It is made up of furniture, washbasins, bathtubs and accessories, designed and created one by one, lacquered, sized and layouts arranged according to my needs. It is the result of sartorial care but with the latest material-processing technology and production methods.
It knows how to respect the world we live in: each panel is certified ecological, all the wood finishes are entirely water-based and all manufacturing waste is recycled.
It is the fruit of an Italian company encompassing all the values of a family, of the work of designers, creators, architects and artisans who infuse their own unique identity into each item, an energy that translates into shapes and proportions that make each product an instant classic.
It exists in eleven collections, characterised by styles which differ whilst staying 100% Italian.
It takes the spotlight in any contemporary scene that makes elegance and originality its distinguishing features. It is like me, and how I like to live. It is Falper.’’
Falpers furniture elements have always been a benchmark to the industry, both for their original design and for the vision standing behind their creation, thanks to worldwide known designers and young promising talents working for them. Only original Falper furniture carries the serial number label they use to identify their products.
Tecnografica Italian Wall Coverings was established in 1992 focusing its mission on the design of the surfaces.
Their philosophy has been characterised by their capability to always look forward, their willingness to create new aesthetic solutions and the realisation of stunning designs industrially reproducible.
Tecnografica have never taken the easy route, sometimes chasing after unrealistic dreams at the edge of an eternal challenge between fantasy and reality. Willingness and passion drove and supported them in reaching goals and exploiting them.
Today like yesterday they work hard to plan and develop wall coverings with the aim of the improvement of unique and exclusive environments.
