Matching and fulfilling diverse individual needs, reflecting the multiplicity that defines inhabited space: over the past decades, the philosophy of design for all has become not only a winning idea but a true necessity for the development of innovative projects. Another imperative comes with this view: simplicity in objects and solutions, allowing them to blend seamlessly into different contexts. The result is a highly complex process of research and development that, as is often the case with simplicity, is anything but simple to achieve.

Ceramiche Globo has embraced such quality-driven complexity throughout its over-45-year history, shaping both its production philosophy and its catalogue, now enriched by the evolution of the Forty3 and 4All bathroom fixture collections. Maximum formal clarity and technological innovations are developed in-house to integrate perfectly into any type of project, enhancing the living experience across a variety of environments.

The CLEANSTORM® New system is the foundation to both collections: the simplicity of seamless, uniform, and easy-to-clean surfaces is achieved by fully integrating the water outlet into the WC, concealing the traditional visible rim openings inside the bowl. Combined with a silent flush system, this innovation ensures a level of performance that has become indispensable in high-traffic environments such as hotels, public spaces, and collective residential settings.

Compactness and softness of form, along with harmonious proportions sealed by rounded edges, define the renewed character of the Forty3 collection. The 55 × 36 cm models, available in wall-hung and floor-mounted versions, are conceived to optimize space. Their understated, contemporary design allows them to merge naturally with their surroundings, engaging equally well with residential and contract contexts, including those with limited floor area.

The 4All collection expands with a new floor-mounted version, also measuring 55 × 37 cm, while maintaining an increased height of 48 cm to improve accessibility. This responds to the needs of elderly users, taller individuals, and people with reduced mobility, marking a meeting point between two central themes of contemporary design: essential forms and inclusivity. Hospitality venues represent an ideal setting for this collection, as do healthcare facilities and public spaces, where ergonomics and reliability are key requirements.

The concept of blending in, of harmonizing with space, is crucial at every project scale. The collections translate this principle through the integration of Globo’s patented technologies, such as the invisible fixing system FISSAGGIOGHOST®, which eliminates visible hardware while maximizing both aesthetics and ease of cleaning, and the VASOMULTI® installation system, making installation processes easier by allowing wide adjustment of water inlet and outlet connections. This solution is particularly suited to renovation projects involving existing plumbing systems.

Within the Globo ecosystem, the collections – encompassing a 1,500-item catalogue – represent the apex of a value-driven pyramid embedded in the production chain from its earliest stages. Harmonizing with context is a principle that applies equally to interior design projects and to the relationship with the planet as a whole. This commitment is reflected in the three Globo facilities equipped with photovoltaic panels, covering 60% of production energy needs through renewable sources, as well as in the guidelines shaping research and development processes. Solutions such as VASOMULTI® express an architectural approach inspired by the reuse of existing structures, while the Save Water principle – ensuring full flushing efficiency with less water – embodies a resource-saving, environmentally responsible gesture that stands as a defining feature of the whole product range.
