GRAFF-Art-Design-White

In line with the trends and tastes of the moment, GRAFF is launching new finishes for its faucet collections.

With a matte effect, the white of the AMETIS collection is a finish obtained through a powder coating process and treated to give the faucets an extremely pleasant look and feel.

The finish coating is highly resistant to scratches, chipping, abrasions, corrosion, fading, and other wear issues. The treatment guarantees durability and color resistance even after constant daily use for extended periods.

The AMETIS washbasin mixers feature, both in the deck-mounted and in the wall-mounted versions, a LED ring that turns blue when the running water is cold and gradually switches to red as the water warms up. This mechanism, as well as avoiding accidental burns, allows the user to keep the water temperature under control and to avoid unnecessary wastes of energy. The LED ring is powered by an internal dynamo and does not use any electric power generator.

Manufactured in steel, the AMETIS shower column features a full spectrum LED RGB color therapy lighting system with 6 colors as well as rainfall (converging in the center) and waterfall functions. The shower column also includes body sprays, integrated controls (thermostatic and cut-off valves) and a hand shower.

In addition to white, the AMETIS collection is available in polished chrome and black finishes. 

Editor’s note

The AMETIS Ring shower head is compatible with the M-series system.

M Series is a new modular system of concealed elements, designed by GRAFF in order to offer new solutions for the shower area and, at the same time, to make the work of installers, clean, quick and non-invasive.

The new series consists of a thermostatic unit, two diverters and cut-off valves that can be combined in a single and compact mono-bloc.

The M-series system makes it possible to control up to 7 outlets with only 4 handles.
