Italian brand FIMA Carlo Frattini creates sculptural, tactile tapware that brings European elegance to the bathroom space, whether indoors or out.
If Italian design is often about elevating the everyday, FIMA Carlo Frattini makes a compelling case for starting with water. Now available in Australia exclusively through Abey Australia, the brand arrives with a curated offering that feels both considered and expansive. At its core are the established FIMA SO and FIMA FLÒ collections, which set the tone for the company’s approach to tapware: sculptural yet restrained, with an emphasis on proportion, tactility and detail.
FIMA SO is perhaps the more expressive of the two, defined by its slender silhouette and extended handle options that can be customised in materials like glass, timber and concrete – subtle gestures that allow designers to introduce contrast without disrupting a cohesive palette. Here, the FIMA Aqua collection of handles introduces a refined use of glass, bringing a sense of lightness and material clarity to the range.
FIMA FLÒ, on the other hand, leans into softness, with fluid lines and a gentle, almost effortless presence ideally suited to contemporary Australian bathrooms. Building on these foundations are new ranges that expand the brand’s offering into a more holistic, lifestyle-led space.
The FIMA Wellness collection introduces a spa-like sensibility, with immersive shower systems centred on experience: layered water delivery, intuitive controls and a focus on daily rituals. FIMA Rotola explores a more graphic geometry, with circular forms and balanced proportions that feel both playful and resolved, while FIMA Park Lane draws on classic references, reinterpreted through a distinctly contemporary lens.
The FIMA Outdoor collection responds directly to antipodeans’ love of alfresco living, extending the brand’s design language beyond the bathroom. At its core is Ingiro, a flexible, plug-and-play shower system designed for use across garden and poolside settings. With a freestanding structure anchored by a concrete base, it offers stability without permanence, connecting easily to a water source and allowing for repositioning as needed.
A foot-operated control introduces an intuitive, hands-free interaction, while micro-jet delivery enhances the sensory experience. Crafted in stainless steel and available in a spectrum of finishes – including bold colour options – the FIMA Outdoor range brings a confident material and tonal presence to exterior environments.
Across all ranges, FIMA’s strength lies in its versatility and depth of finish. Each collection maintains a distinct identity yet shares a unifying clarity that allows for seamless integration within a single project. From tapware and showers to accessories, the brand offers a complete bathroom solution that feels cohesive rather than overwhelming.
Exclusive to Abey, FIMA Carlo Frattini presents a compelling, design-led proposition for architects, designers and discerning homeowners alike.
