Born from the partnership between Boffi and Fantini, AK/25 is a harmonious synthesis of Asian philosophy and contemporary aesthetics.
The influence of Paik Sun Kim’s painting studies can be seen in all of his designs with barely visible but bold strokes and lines, using a combination of lots of white with hints of black.
Featuring poetic and light lines inspired by art and nature, the collection exudes essential, pure and modern design.
Part of the Aboutwater by Boffi and Fantini portfolio, AK/25 is a recipient of the renowned ADI Compasso d’Oro Award.
“I met Paik Sun Kim on the occasion of his solo exhibition at the Hakgojae Gallery in Seoul, for which we created the prototype of one of his washbasin mixer designs. This gave me an opportunity to learn more about his work and I literally fell in love with the lightness and poetry of his architecture,” says Daniela Fantini, CEO of Fantini.
“Paik Sun Kim studied painting at university and painting is a driving force in the way he depicts his projects. We were delighted to work with him and AK/25 is the product that emerged from the development of that first prototype, a project that fascinated us so much with its purity and modernity.”
