Stoa Single Lever Basin Mixer is an innovative bathroom fixture that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of classical Greek architectural principles with contemporary functional design. Conceived by designers Ezequiel Farca and Cristina Grappin, this sophisticated sanitary ware piece draws its inspiration from the Greek concept of stoa, representing the epitome of architectural simplicity and proportion. The design, which garnered an Iron A' Design Award in the Bathroom Furniture and Sanitary Ware Design category, features meticulously calculated dimensions of 44.96mm x 160.02mm x 154.69mm and is crafted from premium brass with a chrome finish. Its aesthetic philosophy is deeply rooted in three fundamental attributes: aesthetics, simplicity, and functionality, resulting in a timeless piece that transcends fleeting design trends. The mixer's form follows the principles of sobriety and moderation characteristic of classical Greek architecture, with each curve and line precisely engineered to achieve perfect proportional harmony. Developed between April and November 2019 in Los Angeles, California, this single-lever basin mixer represents a significant advancement in bathroom fixture design, offering users an intuitive and elegant solution for water control while maintaining a sophisticated visual presence.
