Who is Zucchetti?

Founded in 1929, Zucchetti is a globally renowned Italian manufacturer specialising in advanced plumbing and bathroom solutions. Over the decades, Zucchetti has driven design-forward thinking in the sanitaryware industry, with an unwavering commitment to quality, sustainability, and user experience. Headquartered in Italy, Zucchetti has received international accolades for its collaborations with top-tier designers and for continuously pushing boundaries in bathroom aesthetics and engineering.

Meet the Pan S Collection

Pan S is not merely an update - it's a reinvention. Building upon the iconic Pan range first launched in 2004, the new Pan S collection captures the minimalist, cylindrical beauty of the original, but with a renewed emphasis on slenderness, organic forms, and contemporary sophistication.

Key features include:

• Significantly more slender and contemporary silhouette
• Absence of visible cuts or welds for a refined, seamless look
• Ratio-balanced and ergonomic handle and spout design
• Extension into new configurations, including three-hole mixers and diverse finish options

Design Philosophy: Art Meets Function

Ludovica Serafini and Roberto Palomba, two luminaries in Italian design, describe the Pan S as an exercise in natural connection: "as in nature, there are no cuts and welds; the body of the faucet, designed like the trunk of a tree, creates the spout and the handle, connected with the same delicacy used in grafting a branch to a tree." This philosophy results in forms that feel as organic as they are engineered.

The Pan S range is not about standing out with excessive embellishments. Instead, it champions harmonious connections between vertical and horizontal elements, echoing the natural growth patterns found in wood and stone. The finish selection further elevates the collection, from brushed British gold to pearl salvia, suited to both bold and subtle design palettes.

Innovative Features and Technology

Zucchetti’s Pan S range is packed with technical highlights designed to address modern bathrooms' real-world needs:

• WELS 5 Star 6L/Min Efficiency: Market-leading water efficiency meets New Zealand standards without compromising on performance.
• Advanced Cartridge Technology: A 15-year guarantee on cartridges, ensuring durability and minimal maintenance downtime.
• Lead-Free Composition: In compliance with international safety standards (<0.25% lead), Pan S mixers are safe for households, including children.
• Multiple Mounting Options: Available as deck, wall, extended height, and freestanding mixers, making them versatile for any bathroom layout.
• Exclusive Finishes: From Brushed Chocolate to Matt Mirto and Glossy Gesso, offering customisation that matches or elevates any décor.

Sustainability and Safety Standards

Sustainability is one of Zucchetti’s core values. Pan S mixers are lead-free and manufactured under strict environmental controls, consistent with European and New Zealand regulations. Notably, water efficiency ratings and robust guarantees on both finish and performance demonstrate a commitment to both customers and the planet.

• Certifications: WELS 5 star for most basin mixers; compliance with international lead safety standards.
• Long-Life Materials: High-grade metals and finishing techniques ensure extended product life, reducing the need for replacements and minimising environmental impact.
