Natalino Malasorti, the engineer who designs the bathroom as one system

In large projects the bathroom fails piece by piece: one supplier for taps, another for heating, a third for ventilation. Natalino Malasorti designs against that fragmentation. Co-founder and art director of CEA Design — born in Bassano del Grappa in 1962, with thirty years of thermo-hydraulic engineering behind him — he draws the modular ABACO system, mixers, electric towel warmers and ceiling fans as chapters of one coherent book.

When La Mercanti specifies the bathroom package for Indian offices and hotels, the result is representative interiors in stainless steel where every component — from the Milo360 mixer to the flush plate — answers to a single engineering mind.
