Many good things came to in life the second half of the 20th century, and many of them happened in Italy. Back in 1950, two gentlemen Piero Fornara and Fernando Maulini founded a company that was to produce metal components for the bathroom. Named Fornara & Maulini, the company of two friend worked well and after ten year it was the time for relocation from Omegna to Casale Corte Cerro. Since the company continued to develop, at the beginning of 1970s Fornara & Maulini moved to Gravellona Toce, its present proud headquarter.
From year to year Fornara & Maulini worked better and better, experimenting with new materials and new design, and spreading its market influence. As you scratch a bit deeper you will see that Italian companies are very successful in connecting the tradition, craftsmanship and modern design. I am a proud member of Histerius Design and I'm flattering myself that I know something about design, but I admit that I will never understand why those folks in Italy have such a sense for design. Why God gave them such eyes for beautiful? How they convinced Him to concentrate such number of good designers on an almost island?
Anyway, Fornara & Maulini are just any other Italian company, connected tradition and modern element in a very successful way. Their managers obviously have faith and leave the masters of craft and design to work, and the result are beautiful products.
"The state-of-the-art shower" is not good motto on the first sight, but it perfectly describes Fornara & Maulini's products. I saw recently their Ecco Charade rain shower and I was fascinated. It is not big, it is huge! It has nothing to do with bath, it is like you are standing and watching a waterfall. Being a man of great love for water, the picture of large shower head was fascinating to me. At a touch of a button you have your own water cloud in a triangular, square, rectangular or round version.
Triangular shower head has 90 anti-scale silicone nozzles and the round head has 164 of them. Fornara & Maulini's heads came in several shapes and sizes and you can adjust them to your interior. There is enough room to invite a beautiful lady with you, but only now and then. The bathing in the waterfall is so good that you shouldn't let anyone inside with you. After all, this is your time, and ladies are to be taken on other places. ■
