What Fantini does

Fantini, legally Fratelli Fantini Spa, is an Italian manufacturer of designer bathroom fixtures and fittings headquartered in Pella near Lake Orta. The company operates a vertically integrated production facility on Lake Orta and distributes a portfolio of more than 30 faucet, shower, kitchen, and accessory collections, including signature lines such as Nostromo, Icona Classic/Deco, Venezia, Milano, Lamé, and the Flora collection designed in collaboration with architect Vincent Van Duysen. Fantini also produces outdoor and kitchen fixture lines and an accessories range organized to coordinate with its main collections. Manufacturing is anchored in Italian craftsmanship under a "Made in Italy" positioning, and the company is structured as an Italian public limited company (Società per Azioni).

The company's go-to-market is multi-channel. It sells through authorized retailers and a "Where to buy" service, a dedicated B2B self-serve ordering platform (Easy Order at easyorder.fantini.it) for plumbing professionals, direct professional consulting for project-based sales, and a virtual showroom replicating its Salone del Mobile stand for global browsing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Fantini's primary customer base is split between trade professionals (plumbers, designers, architects, bathroom specialists) reached via dedicated professional tools and consulting, and end consumers reached through resellers and digital channels. The company maintains an active social media presence across Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, and Houzz, participates in major international design events such as Milano Design Week and Salone del Mobile, and publishes a Code of Ethics, Organizational Model, and Whistleblowing channel consistent with mid-market Italian corporate governance.

Fantini is privately held with no disclosed external investors or parent company, and the legal name "Fratelli" (brothers) suggests a family ownership lineage. The firm employs between 101 and 250 people and operates primarily in Europe, with global reach executed through design events and the virtual showroom. No patents, certifications, M&A activity, leadership changes, funding rounds, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available material.
