FONTE

Monica Graffeo has designed Fonte, a project inspired by the Japanese philosophy of personal care. Fonte (which means “fountain”) is a collection of washbasins, showers and receptacles in DuPont™ Corian® complete with solid elm wood accessories. Fonte was inspired by observing the everyday reality of the bathroom combined with a love for the Japanese philosophy of water. This project originated from a study of how we look after ourselves as well as a desire to create objects that differ from each other yet have specific functions and, together, create attractive landscapes. For this reason the collection contains elements of the natural, rural world, such as milking stools, dry branches and trees. The objects are designed for actively taking care of yourself and your body.
