In the world of Italian bathroom furniture, it is now possible to find collections of sanitary ware for every taste and style requirement. Suspended or floor-standing, traditional or flush with the wall, square or rounded, if you can think of it, it exists. In this article, however, we will focus on one of the series that has best defined the standard in these years of strong technological innovation: the Ideal Standard Tesi wall-hung sanitaryware.
Ideal Standard
To understand the basis of the success of a collection of products, such as the Ideal Standard Tesi wall-hung sanitaryware, we can only start from its manufacturer. Analysing the causes and its origins.
Over 100 years of history are behind Ideal Standard. One hundred years, a number that already well represents how well this manufacturer has been able to survive the changes over time.
It has always been a pioneer in the field, first attracting the pens of the great Italian designers. One of these was Gio Ponti, the Italian architect, designer and artist who lent his talents to bathroom design, changing it forever.
This desire to innovate, to question the status quo, gave birth, almost like a flower, to a product such as Ideal Standard Tesi wall-hung sanitaryware.
Aesthetic characteristics
Moving on to talk about the product in detail, the Tesi line of wall-hung sanitary ware is characterised by very simple but suggestive shapes.
The result of the work of Studio Levien, an international product design company, the Tesi series seems to leap off the wall towards the future of modernity that distinguishes it.
The balance that must coexist between function and aesthetics is perfectly represented in the shapes of this series of sanitaryware. Beautiful but with a technological aspect to discover.
Aquablade technology
Although aesthetic reasons are fundamental in the choice of a sanitary ware line, technology and technique are no less important.
The Ideal Standard Tesi wall-hung sanitary ware line is a concentration of the highest technologies in the field of bathroom furniture. This is evident in the management of the rim and its cleaning.
What is the flap? Good question. For those unfamiliar with the terminology, brida means the ceramic flap that is present in all traditional WCs and which helps to retain the water from the flush inside the WC. Simple, isn’t it?
This flap, however, has always represented an unsightly and above all unhygienic element in WCs, which is why in recent years efforts have been made to eliminate it.
Ideal Standard has therefore patented the Aquablade technology and applied it to all its products such as the Tesi wall-hung sanitaryware.
This technology takes the form of a rim that becomes very thin, almost invisible in the toilet bowl. This conformation allows the water to flow at high speed, cleaning itself of any residual germs and dirt. Self-cleaning, not bad at all.
In addition to cleaning, this drain also reduces noise and water usage. Something not to be taken for granted in an increasingly resource-poor world.
Toilet seat slowed down or not?
Having understood the aesthetic and technical reasons that make Ideal Standard Tesi wall-hung sanitaryware among the best on the market, let’s move on to one of the dilemmas that most divides our customers: slowed down or not slowed down toilet seat cover?
If we wanted to give an answer based only on the trends of the moment, this would certainly be the slow motion toilet seat. The choice now falls almost exclusively on this model, which is both technologically new and comfortable.
A slow-moving toilet seat allows you to let the two parts of the toilet seat “fall off” without the risk of breaking them. This is because special hinges will not let the part fall, but will accompany it gently to the ceramic. This is a bit like the reasoning behind cushioned furniture doors.
So why choose a non-sliding toilet seat cover? There are many reasons for this, but the main one is the fear of malfunctions or the desire to save a little money.
There is no doubt that a slow-moving toilet seat is slightly more expensive, but we can say from our long experience that there are no malfunctions and never will be.
Price
In all this creative and technological process, Ideal Standard has managed to maintain an affordable price for all budgets.
