Agape will be launching the refurbished Bologna flagship store Barberia 28 in the context of Cersaie 2008.

A sequence of ten settings is presented in the nineteenth century building that houses the store, creating a continuum between the bathroom and living room. The bathrooms on display offer design ideas that respond to daily needs by rethinking ancient elements to suit a contemporary environment.

The new Vieques bathtub designed by Patricia Urquiola creates an original atmosphere in combination with the Cooper range of products (designed by UT Agape); the contemporary need to furnish small spaces is met with the new Normal bathtub (designed by Benedini Associati), an innovative spatial solution is offered by the Flat D shower (design Benedini Associati) acting as a filter between two rooms, and a new direction in the development of bathroom fittings is explored through the Sen range of taps (design by Gwenael Nicolas, Curiosity).

Once again, the many new products on offer are the result of the research into design and materials, that has long characterised Agape’s production.
