Company Overview and Philosophy
Artceram, founded in 1987 in Civita Castellana, Italy, specializes in bathroom sanitaryware and furnishings. The company focuses on harmonizing design, functionality, and innovation through ongoing technological research and collaborations with international designers. This strategy has established Artceram as a recognized global brand offering comprehensive bathroom solutions, including product design, customer service, and branded showroom experiences.
Historical Development and Product Evolution
Initially producing basins for bathroom furniture manufacturers, Artceram expanded its portfolio and brand identity by partnering with young designers starting in 2000. A key milestone was the 2006 launch of the La Fontana collection, a complete bathroom system integrating sanitaryware and furniture, including column-basins, marking a shift toward autonomous and stylistically innovative bathroom solutions.
La Fontana Collection
This collection presents a self-contained bathroom system combining washbasin, lighting, mirror, and cabinet into a single unit. It innovates both aesthetically and functionally, suitable for public and private spaces, and challenges traditional bathroom furnishing norms by emphasizing autonomy and style.
"The Artceram" Program
Introduced in 2007, this dynamic program features a curated mix of existing products and new collections by emerging designers. It embodies innovation and freshness, inspired by the concept that quality products often start with "the," reflecting a creative philosophy.
Showroom and Heritage
The Artceram showroom is located in a restored historic church dating back to 1577, adjacent to production facilities. This venue symbolizes the blend of tradition and innovation, showcasing the company’s ceramic expertise and design heritage.
Product Range and Technical Specifications
The catalog includes a broad array of bathroom fixtures: basins, bidets, wall-hung and back-to-wall WCs, urinals, and furniture elements like columns and semi-columns. Products come in multiple sizes (e.g., basins at 55 cm, 60 cm, 75 cm), colors (white, black, pink, yellow, red), and finishes, including ceramic sideboards and soft-close seats.
Innovations include back-to-wall sanitaryware with lateral cupboard doors that allow plumbing access without removing fixtures, improving maintenance and space efficiency.
Materials and Finishes
- Ceramic sideboards available in black, white, and various colors.
- Soft-close white WC seats standard across models for enhanced comfort.
- Black sliding and cupboard doors provide an exclusive, refined aesthetic.
- Silver sideboards and fittings offer a discreet, elegant appearance.
Design Philosophy
Color choices are intentional to evoke specific emotions: white for cleanliness and clarity; pink for sensitivity and warmth; yellow for friendliness and joy; red for passion and dynamism. Black finishes target exclusivity and nonconformity, silver appeals to refined elegance, and crystal finishes symbolize transparency and perfection.
Innovative Systems
Slideside System: A modular, flexible system designed to optimize space around toilets and bidets by reinventing the monobloc cistern. Constructed with anodized aluminum rods and folded metal sheets, it features black sliding doors and is compatible with Geberit waste systems, enhancing versatility and space utilization.
Product Dimensions and Installation Recommendations
Detailed dimensions are provided for various products, including semi-countertop washbasins (45 cm and 65 cm), basins with colored or white bottoms, and sizes of 60 cm and 75 cm. Installation guidelines recommend using a reduced siphon (Ø45 mm) for certain washbasins to ensure proper drainage and function.
Designers and Company Information
Design credits go to Sandro Meneghello and Marco Paolelli, graduates of Politecnico di Milano, and Carlo Urbinati, an architect and designer with extensive experience in furniture and bathroom product design. The company, ArtCeram Srl, is based in Civita Castellana, Italy.
Key Recommendations and Best Practices
- Use soft-close seats to enhance user comfort.
- Install reduced siphons for specific washbasins to ensure optimal function.
- Employ modular systems like Slideside to maximize bathroom space efficiency.
- Select finishes (black, silver, crystal) aligned with user preferences for style and exclusivity.
Summary of Product Categories

- Toilets (WC): Back-to-wall, wall-hung, and close-coupled models with matching sideboards.
- Bidets: Floor-standing and wall-hung options with colored or ceramic sideboards.

Visual and Functional Features

Il nuovo showroom Artceram occupa gli spazi di una chiesa costruita nel 1577 dai frati Cappuccini; un luogo suggestivo e adiacente agli stabilimenti Artceram, dove coesistono in un equilibrio perfetto la tradizione e linnovazione, la storia di Civita Castellana e la sperimentazione nella produzione ceramica. Da chiesa a distaccamento degli Allievi Ufficiali nel 1882, fino a trasformarsi in una fabbrica di sanitari nel 900.
