Fantini Rubinetti, I Balocchi Collection

Fantini Rubinetti, I Balocchi Collection

The term "Italian made" is considered a trademark for style, beauty and quality. In this case its funny looking, but apparently very popular. Fantini Rubinetti has brought back an original design with some "re-editing" from their line of "taps". Its the I Balocchi with its chunky cross handles in a rainbow of colors! These faucets are actually playing a major part in bring fresh water to those in need in Masango Burundi Africa through their "100 Fontane Fantini for Africa" campaign. This "pop-art" style faucet was first introduced in 1978. Starting in 2013 %100 of the profits from the sale of this collection will finance a new clean water fountain close to the villages so that children can spend their time in school and playing instead of carrying water.
