A vision that has engendered over time an evolution in bathroom designing.  Let’s recall all the phases that have marked the journey of the company and that led it to become the market leader in the bathroom fixtures industry.

Bathroom concept during the ‘60s

The bathroom in the Sixties was, most of the time, very big. Many houses used to have one smaller guest bathroom, also used as a laundry room, and a main bathroom that usually hosted a bath-tub. A very typical form, during that period when the bathroom decor evolution  started its journey. Sanitary ware needed to respond to one main requirement: be comfortable.

The ‘70s and the evolution of lines and shapes for a modern decor

The decades following the economic boom of the Sixties, was a phase characterized by a new conception of modern bathroom, where innovative lines  and shapes are the main design features.

The ’80s and the real change

With the Eighties the sanitary ware start a radical transformation in design and production. There is a shift to a new phase: Flaminia starts to automate its production process and it is now able to operate on a large scale and boost the ceramics production. Moreover the research of sinuous and soft lines, bring the company to design new products for bathroom decor. The element that is most distinctive, is color: goodbye to the classic white fixture: the ‘80s mark a real revolutionary phase in bathroom decor.
