I BALOCCHI Handles

Bath / Sanitary › Bathroom taps › Multi-way converters

A comic-strip name. Pop-art forms. Garish colours. I Balocchi, the first series of coloured taps that met with enormous success on the market, brushing aside all the competition on the visual panorama of the sector as soon as it was presented at the Conference and Exhibition in Milan in 1978. Today I Balocchi are a historical icon of the company and rightfully have a place in the history of the Italian design of industrial products. The sales of “I Balocchi” will contribute to the budget Fantini has allocated to the construction of water outlets in Masango, Burundi.
