Flaminia | Made In Italy

Flaminia’s story began in 1955 in Civita Castellana, the heart of Italy’s ceramics district, when a group of young artisans set out to redefine bathroom ceramics. From those modest origins, the brand has grown into a global name synonymous with craftsmanship and innovation. Now in 2025, Robertson Bathware are proud to bring the heritage Italian ceramics to New Zealanders.

Flaminia’s design excellence shines through collaborations with leading names such as Giulio Cappellini, Paola Navone, Jasper Morrison and Ludovica Serafini. Their vision has transformed bathrooms into spaces of style and expression, with sculptural forms and elegant minimalism turning everyday pieces into icons. Still rooted in Italy, Flaminia blends robotic precision with artisanal skill to deliver exceptional quality. Committed to sustainability, the brand recycles materials, uses renewable energy and develops water-saving solutions, proving that beautiful ceramics can also be environmentally conscious.

This year we are proud to launch some of Flaminia’s newest innovations - the Falala, Siena and Settecento collections. These ceramics all have a unique and intentional story, having been designed by some of the world's leading designers. Discover these Italian-made collections in your local Robertson Bathware showroom or explore the full Flaminia range on our website.

Flaminia not only leads in form and function, but also in colour. The brand prides itself on an extraordinary palette of shades and finishes. Combined with glossy and matt surfaces, their range allows architects, designers and homeowners to create bathrooms with true personality. With Flaminia, colour becomes a design language of its own, transforming ceramics into statement pieces.
