The Flow washbasin by antoniolupi has been included in the ADI DESIGN INDEX 2024, the prestigious publication by the Association for Industrial Design (ADI) that rewards the best of Italian design. The award ceremony took place in Milan, at the ADI Design Museum, in the presence of ADI President Luciano Galimberti.
The Flow washbasin—selected in the 'Design for Living' category—is made of white Carrara marble and expresses an innovative design language aimed at sustainability. Continuing the successful collaboration with designer Paolo Ulian, the Tuscan company pursues its search for a balance between ancient materials and new processing techniques.
Flow is an example of this philosophy, an 'experimental object' that, as described by CEO Andrea Lupi, is born from the generative power of water. This washbasin, with its unique appearance, emphasises a detail that would generally be considered a flaw: the numerically controlled waterjet cut, with its fringed and pleated effect, becomes a distinctive feature in Flow.
Flow is not just a washbasin but a unique sculpture, capable of transforming a 'defect' into an essential decoration that tells the story of marble craftsmanship. This aesthetic innovation, applied to a classic material, makes Flow 'not an ordinary washbasin,' Andrea Lupi says.
The waterjet cut also allows for greater material optimization compared to traditional processing techniques. It makes it possible to obtain several washbasins of different diameters from a single marble block by nesting them within one another, thus improving the sustainability of the production process.
