Zen Collection

Exterior Shower and Accesories for AntonioLupi

Professor: Marco Ferriani

Type: group

Year: 2023

The Zen collection was born from an in-depth analysis of Antoniolupi’s design language and its recent artistic direction led by Gumdesign, characterized by geometric grids, essential lines, and an aesthetic that blends outdoor environments with oriental influences.

From these premises takes shape a family of three elements:

The Torii shower is made of marble-effect porcelain stoneware, available in Marquinia black and French red, with a satin-finish AISI 304 stainless steel shower head and a coordinated platform integrating the mixer and diverter for precise, intuitive water control. The compact, vitrified structure of the stoneware ensures resistance to weather and temperature changes, making the shower system ideal for outdoor installations without compromising its strong aesthetic character.

The Kimono towel rack stands out for its base in satin-finished Carrara marble resting on a thin AISI 304 stainless steel plate, a solution that enhances stability while introducing a refined material contrast. The structure is completed by four vertical satin-finished stainless steel tubes housing iroko wood slats, adding visual warmth and evoking the balance between cold and warm elements typical of zen-inspired environments.

The Oda stool features a Colormood structure offered in white, black or red finishes, topped with a surface in Carrara marble, Marquinia black marble, or red marble-effect stoneware. This combination of materials and colors allows the stool to integrate seamlessly into different bathroom and outdoor settings while maintaining consistency with Antoniolupi’s material language.

In this dialogue between horizontal and vertical lines, between solid surfaces and controlled voids, the Zen collection reinterprets Antoniolupi’s minimalism and formal rigor through the lens of Japanese Zen philosophy. The ensemble of shower, towel rack, and stool strengthens the brand’s presence in the outdoor living sphere, offering products that harmonize with existing collections and transform exterior spaces into places of calm, ritual, and contemplation.
