Enrico and Elena Magistro. On the shores of Lake Orta in northern Italy, under the leadership of Enrico and Elena Magistro, QuadroDesign designs, manufactures and distributes taps of essential design made of 100% AISI316L stainless steel. It has been doing so since 2001, when design was hardly considered in the bathroom environment and when giving up brass implied a revolution in traditional taps manufacturing. A risky choice, that QuadroDesign made to pursue a strong environmental focus and vocation. Stainless steel, especially when used “bare”, is in fact a noble material with a very low impact....

By creating QuadroDesign we revolutionised the company we inherited from our parents. We analysed the life cycle of products and materials, invested in design and AISI316L stainless steel, found suppliers that could guarantee traceability and quality, re-engineered our production lines, rationalised logistics. And now our research approach has become systemic, shared with all our partners, suppliers and designers. QuadroDesign, Design according to us

The headquarters of QuadroDesign are in San Maurizio d’Opaglio, on the shores of Lake Orta in the spaces that, until 1990, housed the Mamoli taps foundry, and then the production of the Magistro faucets. The renovation project of the offices and showroom, curated by StudioWok, led to the creation of two overlapping spaces that reflect the personality of QuadroDesign. The essential design and use of noble materials can be found in the simple, pure volumes of the offices and in the palette of natural materials and neutral, warm colours. While the flexibility of the collections is declined in the...
