From his website studio www.studioadolini.com twe find this biography: “Born in Nepi (VT) in 1956, he graduated in 1982 in architecture at the University ‘La Sapienza’ of Rome, where he opened his own professional studio in 1984. In addition to an initial intense activity of collaboration with well-known studios, which allowed him to follow large-scale public projects, he immediately began a more intimate personal research into architectural themes linked to the territory, in particular the lower Viterbo area. At the end of the 1990s, he designed some ceramic products for the bathroom environment. He then began a design activity that he alternated with his work as an architect and led him to collaborate with various brands. From 2011 to 2016, he was professor of industrial product design for the degree course in Design at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Ferrara.”
As we read from the 1990s onwards, he began collaborating with companies in the ceramic district of Civita Castellana: Ceramica Galassia, Ceramica Flaminia, Axa Ceramiche, Scarabeo and Kerasan. For decades now, his creative genius has been churning out revolutionary and unmistakable ceramic designs and series. Let us begin by discovering some of them.
UNA series Flaminia
Looking for a special sanitary ware range? You have certainly heard of semi-recessed washbasins for bathroom furniture, but what about sanitary ware? No? Then take a look at UNA by Flaminia. Of course, some may object that Pozzi Ginori had done something similar with the Thermae series. But the stylistic details in this case are maniacal. Even the toilet seat cover was worked on, and a mould was made which curves around the front following the profile of the sanitary ware.
Such a special toilet seat can be found in the Sintesibagno store at the following LINK (clik here)
NORMAL series Axa
One of the most stylistically successful teardrop-shaped sanitary wares is certainly: NORMAL.
We have seen in many previous posts how ceramic manufacturers have proposed this form in all its variations. In the post: “Teardrop-shaped toilet seats and sanitary ware (and their measurements)” we saw: LIUTO, ARETUSINA and CLIO. In the Post: “Sanitary ware and toilet seat with a teardrop shape. Narrow at the back and wide at the front” we saw: TANGA, GEMMA, AFFETTO and GRACE.
With this design, the Adolini series gives a modern twist to an already familiar shape. It brings the sanitary ware flush with the wall and gives the possibility of choosing between various sanitary ware depths. Possibilities that we find in so many of the designer’s projects and will see later (HERE an in-depth look at sanitary ware of this type)
In the Sintesibagno store you will find toilet seats for both depths in the thermoset version: for NORMAL 52 (clik here) and for variant NORMAL 48 (clik here). You will also find a version in white coated wood which, thanks to its adjustable steel hinges, covers both sizes (clik here).
ARKE’ series Galassia
A ceramic design inspired by the geometry of forms: ARKE’ is considered, by us in the Sintesibagno team and also by bathroom experts, the icon of round shapes (HERE an in-depth post on this typology).
A circle (width 40 cm) that tapers to a cone and square elements to complete the body of the sanitary ware make it a design object. Its original toilet seat is still available in the Sintesibagno store at the following link [ clik here ]
