At the close of the 19th Century, industrial enterprise became the leading force in Italian economic life following the country’s unification. In 1882 Pietro Stella began the slow process of industrialisation towards an organised company model, one characterised by technological product expertise and focused on developing partnerships with major industrial firms.
Exhibited by Vicalvi, Stella 1882 presented it's "Stella" collection at Downtown Design 2019, that opened up a new idea in aesthetic and technical research. The design is simple yet original, with a handle that presents a powerful personality. The Stella collection uses ceramic head-work, a technical solution that makes it possible to open the tap fully with just half a turn of the handle.
