A closer look at the design story behind Pan.

Designed in 2004 by Italian duo Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba of Palomba Serafini Associati, the Pan Collection took the classic cylindrical single-lever mixer and reimagined it through a single, quiet idea borrowed from nature.

The body of the tap is shaped like a tree trunk. The spout and handle aren't fixed onto it but emerge through a soft connection, much like a branch grafted into the trunk of a tree.

That organic, natural language is what's made Pan recognisable two decades on. It remains one of ZucchettiDesign's flagship collections, and is still handcrafted in Italy.

Palomba Serafini Associati, based in Milan, are among the most respected names in Italian design. Pan remains one of their signature works for Zucchetti.

In our next post we look more closely at the brushed chocolate finish, and what makes it so well suited to natural, layered interiors.

It's in the detail. The fluted profile that gives Elementi Bathware's Pettine its name runs the full length of every drawer, catching light through the day and turning storage into something beautiful.

Veloce by ZucchettiDesign takes its name and its spirit from the Italian for "swift". Yabu Pushelberg looked back to the refined automobiles of the 1930s for inspiration: machines capable of astonishing speed, yet so beautifully sculpted they suggested movement even when stationary.

In this clip, the designers share how vintage automotive details, the levers, the controls, the ergonomic grip of a steering wheel, found their way into the tapware itself.

See it in person at our Auckland and Christchurch showrooms.

A lovely afternoon at the showroom yesterday welcoming graduates from the Nanette Cameron School of Interior Design. We talked through the latest trends shaping bathware in 2026, from warmer, earthy palettes, the the hottest trends from Europe.

Supporting the next generation of New Zealand designers is something we genuinely care about. The school has been shaping design talent here since 1967, and it's a privilege to share our space, our brands and a bit of what we've learned with people just starting out.

Thanks for coming in. We can't wait to see what you create.

A masterclass in consideration.

This beautiful bathroom by Butterfield Bathrooms is a space where every detail earns its place. The double walk-in shower with two Elementi Bathware Splash Lux Slide Showers, the basin sits beneath a precision-engineered ZucchettiDesign mixer, and the Elementi Uno Overheight Toilet Suite brings a thoughtful nod to comfort and accessibility. Chrome finishes throughout tie the whole look together.

Beautiful, functional, and built for how people actually live.

A home reimagined, with the ZucchettiDesign Pan Collection in brushed chocolate quietly at home within it.

We supplied the Pan tapware to this beautifully considered residence by Spatial Studio and Strata Architects, where two neighbouring apartments have been transformed into one expansive home.

The design focused on natural light, distinct yet connected living zones, and a master wing designed as a private sanctuary. The brief was for calm interiors, warm tactile materials, and an easy, natural way of living.

The Pan in brushed chocolate belongs here. Soft, warm, finely made, with the kind of detail that rewards a closer look. Designed by acclaimed Italian duo Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba, Pan has become one of Zucchetti's most enduring designs.

Over the next few posts we'll share more about Pan: the design story behind it, the brushed chocolate finish up close, and the nearly-century-old Italian heritage that sits behind it all.

Every great collection starts with the right minds in the room. For Veloce, ZucchettiDesign turned to Yabu Pushelberg, the internationally renowned design studio whose work shapes some of the most considered hotels and residences in the world.

Over the coming weeks, we're sharing moments from an in-studio conversation with the designers, hearing how Veloce came to life. To start: how the project began.

Great design always starts with a great story.

Veloce by Zucchetti was designed by George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg, the Toronto-based studio behind some of the world's most celebrated hotels and interiors. They were given a brief that says it all: design something that evokes a memory within the first 30 seconds of seeing it.

We think they delivered.

A small upgrade with a meaningful impact.

The integrated flow reducer inside the Rayne Showerhead does more than ensure a steady, comfortable spray. By regulating water output, it helps reduce water and hot water energy use, lowering long-term running costs in your home.

Pair that with five finishes to suit any bathroom aesthetic, and the option of a handpiece or slide shower, and you have a showerhead built for the way New Zealanders live.

Lead-free. DZR-compliant. Ready to spec.

As of 2 May 2026, New Zealand's new lead-free and DZR brass requirements are live under G12/AS1 Amendment 14. Every Robertson Bathware tapware product was compliant well before the deadline, so there is nothing to phase out and nothing to second-guess.

If you are specifying for a building consent lodged from 2 May onwards, or installing today, the compliance side is sorted. We have certification and supplier declarations on file for every product in our current range.

Over the coming weeks we will share a closer look at what has changed and a few of the collections we are particularly proud of.

In the meantime, if you would like compliance documentation for anything in our range, our team can have it to you fast.

Already loved for its powerful spray on low pressure systems, Rayne by Elementi Bathware now features an integrated non-return flow reducer, making it purpose-built to perform on mains pressure too.

That means a consistent, comfortable shower experience across virtually any New Zealand home, plus built-in backflow protection to support compliance with local plumbing standards.

Available as a handpiece or slide shower, in five finishes including Black and Brushed Nickel, so you can match Rayne to your bathroom aesthetic.

The 2026 Met Gala dress code was 'Fashion Is Art'. We took it a little too literally.

Ten of this year's biggest red carpet moments, paired with the Robertson Bathware they were clearly
destined for.

Kim Kardashian got the ZucchettiDesign Veloce mixer in brushed copper. Beyoncé brought the ALICE Ceramica's Equilibrium basins. Rihanna's chrome moment met its match in the Elementi Bathware shower head. The rest? See for yourself.

If a couture gown is art, we reckon a basin mixer qualifies too.
