Tapping into the Past – Rogerseller’s Fantini Icona Collection by Vincent Van Duysen

Emanating the refinement synonymous with Rogerseller’s offerings, the evocative Fantini Icona tapware collection embodies heightened elegance through discerning design by Vincent Van Duysen.

Conceived for Fantini by the celebrated Belgian architect and designer, Vincent’s creation of two timeless and distinctive series sees the Icona Classic and Icona Deco ranges emerge. With a nostalgic touch, the collaboration is infused with traditional inspiration to inform its modern reimagination whilst retaining graceful permanence. Vincent’s astute attention towards tactility underlies the pieces, with ergonomic designs that ensure a comfortably indulgent user experience and a moving materiality that exudes allure.

Delicately reminiscing on the form of the classic tap, Icona Classic pays homage whilst propelling pieces into the sleek present. Designed with the desire to actualise a series grounded in poised functionality, enduring quality and luxurious comfort, Vincent’s expression deftly delivers each element with vigour. Profiles are sculpted to relish in reverence for iconic four-way cross handles and designs play with familiar proportions. Softly refined, the resulting range communicates its place in the bathroom with a marked sophistication – offering recognisable silhouettes injected with fresh serenity to transcend the seasons.

Bending exquisitely to shape slinky arcs, Icona Deco pieces are endowed with curved angles, subtly tempering their linear geometry and commanding metallic materiality. Faithful to the principle of pleasant tactility that underlies the Icona collection, Deco lever handles taper on the underside, beckoning users to comfortably clasp their smooth surface. Lavishly melding rounded and flat faces, the range arouses moments and details of the art deco aesthetic while remaining calmly ensconced in
current settings.

The Fantini Icona collection is a sensorial exploration of Vincent’s approach to producing pieces that harness quality materials and place user experience at the forefront. The collaboration gives rise to a delightful interplay of honouring the past while forging forward with a refreshing point of view. “For me, Icona is a timeless collection of washbasin mixers to suit every scenario, with a hint of past memories but not too much, still very contemporary and modern, with attention to ergonomics and a degree of sensuality,” Vincent remarks.

Dynamic and fitting to easily elevate any esteemed bathroom aesthetic, the Icona collection’s handles, outlets, mixers and showerheads exemplify Vincent’s signature focus on dignified composition that honours integrity, functionality and context. Available from Rogerseller in a range of premium lustrous and matte metal finishes, the Icona Classic and Icona Deco series are an effortless translation of nostalgic inspiration through contemporary crafting.
