In the picture: SO, the new double control mixer of FIMA Carlo Frattini, with the spout inbrushed nickel and handles in chrome.‎ The function of the two handles are defined by their dimension and their position.‎ On the left, a smaller and taller handle to set the water temperature.‎ On the right, a larger shorter handle regulates the flow rate.‎ Davide Vercelli with SO explored the ways of operating a tap and designed a product that overcomes the limits of a traditional mixer.‎ Water quantity and water temperature can be easily set to make the use of the tap more comfortable and efficient.‎ As a result of a study on habits, ergonomics and efficiency, SO is born with two handles, whose function is defined by their dimension and their position.‎ On the left, a smaller and taller handle to set the water temperature.‎ On the right, a larger shorter handle regulates the flow rate.‎ The distinctive mark of the whole collection is the shape of the handle, a cylinder, cut in its section and slightly rounded.‎ A detail that proves the keen attention of the company to aesthetics, as well as ergonomics; the cut helps to turn on and off the water in full comfort.‎ SO wants to be the perfect balance between design and functionality.‎ Another important feature is given by the wide choice among chromatic and materials combinations, allowing full personalization and the creation of special moods and styles in the bathroom.‎ Six different galvanic finishes are available (chrome, black chrome, brushed black chrome, brushed nickel, gold and brushed gold) and two colors (white matt and black matt).‎ They can be mixed or selected mono color based upon the need and the wish of the consumer.‎ In addition, the handles can be chosen among three materials: grey concrete, dark wood or light wood.‎ The result is a tap with a strong personality, that stimulates touch and sight.‎ The green soul of SO is in the spout, that with a 10 mm diameter saves water without preventing the consumer from enjoying the nice flow.‎ The collection is completed by a variety of basin taps (double control, single hole, widespread and wall mounted mixers), bidet, bath and shower mixers.‎ Specifically for the shower, a brand-new pop-up controller has been created; turning water on and off is easier and more comfortable, to guarantee full relax in the shower.‎ Once again Fima Carlo Frattini wants to fulfill special wishes of a sophisticated clientele by offering with this new collection conceptual, formal and functional innovation.‎
