Fantini USA has announced the winners of the fifth edition of the Fantini Design Awards, which recognize excellence in kitchen and bath design throughout North America.
Architects, designers and building developers were called to submit eligible projects inspired by water and with a passion for Italian design with Fantini. In its fifth year, the Fantini Design Awards selected three winners based on creativity, design, inspiration and quality of the submitted materials.
Fantini’s guiding influence is water and has continued to be a wellspring of creativity throughout Fantini’s 70-year history. The winning projects have been selected with this appreciation in mind as well as creativity in bringing Italian design to North American audiences.
This year’s panel of judges included Alissa Ponchione, executive editor of Hospitality Design magazine, Rachel Gallaher, design writer for Robb Report, Gray Magazine and others, and Steven Casey, partner at KPMB Architects.
Here are this year’s winners.
Saint-Pierre designed by La Firme
A unique home in Montréal, which features the Aboutwater by Boffi and Fantini’s AF/21 Fukasawa collection. Fantini’s collection provided counterpoints and accents to help bring the spirit of the home to life. Sourced from Batimat Montréal.
Foxbar Residence designed by Nonument
A home in Toronto that features the Aboutwater by Boffi and Fantini’s AF/ 21 and AK/25 collections. The goal was to treat the fixtures as artistic elements within a tranquil environment. Sourced from Italinteriors.
Crystal Green designed by Chrome Design
A modern minimalistic home located in Québec. The designer chose the Milano collection not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its ability to harmonize with the room’s architectural features. Sourced from Batimat Montréal.
One representative per winning project will travel to the Fantini headquarters on Lake Orta in Pella, Italy in 2025, as a part of a four-day, all-expenses-paid trip. Winners will experience local traditions for the area and stay at Fantini’s exclusive resort, Casa Fantini/Lake Time while enjoying a tour of Fantini’s factory and headquarters designed by Piero Lissoni.
