Agape celebrates its 50th anniversary by continuing to explore the elements that constitute good bathroom design. The company, founded in 1973 by the Benedini family, has never stopped viewing the bathroom as an architectural space and diving deep into its key concepts.

The shape of color. Undici Inox freestanding, by Benedini Associati
The washbasin series Undici Inox becomes even more versatile, with the new freestanding version underlining its bold geometries. The pure, simple form of the stainless steel or brushed brass basin is delicately fitted to the painted metal column.
The composition of matter. Cenote a Colonna, by Patricia Urquiola
The Cenote series of washbasins continues exploring the expressive power of clay with this new freestanding model. The circular basin creates a textural and architectural continuum with the linear, column-style base.
The function of size. Ventiquaranta washbasin microsystem, by LucidiPevere
Ventiquaranta distills functions and minimizes volumes. It is a little piece of architecture, in two cleverly-designed versions playing on the same dimensions, 20x40 cm. In the version perpendicular to the wall, fixed on the short side, the washbasin is complemented by a storage unit with a drawer and two shelves. The version installed parallel to the wall, fixed on the long side, is integrated with door storage and two shelves or towel basket. Ventiquaranta’s versatility, designed to give maximum flexibility to both the designer and the end user, is reflected also in its ability to be used outdoors or indoors.
Surface tectonics. Bloque system, by Patricia Urquiola
The exploration of material begun with Cenote continues with the Bloque system of countertops and storage containers. Patricia Urquiola highlights the sensory appeal of stone and wood with a visually open compositional minimalism. The rhythm is marked byjuxtaposed and perpendicular planes, in an original staggered motion between surfaces.
028 storage mirror, by Benedini Associati
A natural evolution of the container-mirror 027, the 028 model reprises the extreme formal purity of its predecessor, retaining the character-defining brushed stainless steel plate interior partitions. The new version boasts an additional feature: the mirrored sliding doors mean the storage space can be completely closed, so that personal objects and accessories are hidden behind an elegant and compact surface.
004 washbasin, by Benedini Associati
The semi-recessed channel washbasin, available in sizes from 60 to 120 cm, takes the essential design of the original crystal glass version and reimagines it in marble. The washbasin, constructed from 15 mm slabs of marble with a sloping shelf that hides the drain, acquires a remarkable new visual impact and a striking physicality thanks to the marble.
Dot Line lamps, by García Cumini
Designed as a line of light, these new lamps celebrate the graphic spirit of the Dot Line series and bring a sense of wellness to the bathroom environment. The lamps are available in both pendant and wall-mounted versions, the latter of which can be installed horizontally or vertically. A versatile piece, it can also be easily used outside of the bathroom context to create evocative geometries of light.
Agape also has presented updates to the line and new finishes.
