The second life of a first mixer: Cut Plus by Cea Design

Redesigning a classic is mostly a list of things you refuse to change. When Cea Design returned to Cut — the mixer that opened its catalogue in 1998 — the drawing by architects Mario Tessarollo and Tiberio Cerato had spent more than twenty years proving that a clean section does not date. So Cut Plus keeps the line and renews the part the eye never sees: a new mixing concept in which the temperature, once set, stays where you left it, and a single movement governs the flow of water.

The same discipline shapes the way the collection meets a project. The mixer comes horizontal with the handle on the right or on the left, or vertical where the wall asks for it; the body is AISI 316L stainless steel, satin or polished, with Black Diamond, Bronze, Copper and Light Gold as special finishes. Washbasin, shower, bath and remote controls all follow the same section, so the renewal never breaks the room, nor the tiled wall around it.

La Mercanti supplies Cut Plus internationally and works with architects and private clients drawing in hand, matching configuration and finish to the project before the order is placed.
