The presentation at Salone del Mobile 2026 marks a new chapter in the research of Michele Vitaloni, confirming the studio’s ability to develop tailor-made projects and design products in which aesthetics, function, and identity merge into a contemporary vision of luxury.
Nazionale, the new tapware collection by antoniolupi, interprets the faucet as a true architectural element. Sharp lines, smooth surfaces, and rigorous geometries define a project in which detail becomes the protagonist.
Designed by Michele Vitaloni for antoniolupi, the Nazionale collection stands out for its rigorous language, made of clear volumes and pure surfaces, where every detail contributes to building a precise formal balance.
The geometric handles take centre stage: trapezoidal parallelepipeds with bold proportions, conceived to accompany the gesture and offer an authentic tactile perception. Their presence dialogues with the linearity of the cylindrical spout, generating a carefully calibrated contrast between shapes and volumes.
The smooth surfaces and precise cuts evoke the purity of a diamond or the compactness of a small ingot, transforming tapware into an architectural sign within the bathroom space. Made of AISI 316L stainless steel, Nazionale expresses a material research that translates into luminous and deep surfaces, available in the shades Brass, Gold, Copper, and Black Chrome, in satin, polished, and PVD finishes.
The series is developed as a complete range of bathroom taps. More than a faucet, it is a contemporary sign that transforms water into an experience and the bathroom into architecture.
