Agape Design

What Agape Design does

Agape srl, trading as Agape Design, is an Italian luxury bathroom design and manufacturing company founded in 1973 in Bagnolo San Vito (Mantova), Italy. The company designs and produces high-end bathroom fixtures and furnishings — washbasins, bathtubs, sanitary ware, mirrors, taps, showerheads, lighting, storage units, heating elements, accessories, and modular systems — crafted from proprietary and premium materials including Cristalplant® Biobased solid surface, cast glass, marble, stone, concrete, stainless steel, and wood. Its product portfolio is built on collaborations with internationally recognized designers such as Patricia Urquiola, Angelo Mangiarotti, Benedini Associati, Neri&Hu, Marcio Kogan, Kengo Kuma, and Marco Zito, producing award-winning pieces including the In-Out bathtub and the Massicci cast-glass washbasin.

Agape operates a three-tier revenue model: (1) product sales of bathroom fixtures and furnishings through a global authorized dealer network spanning 20+ countries; (2) Atelier bespoke design services for customized solutions; and (3) Contract services for large-scale hospitality and residential developments, including product specification and installation coordination. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadence, reflecting the bespoke and luxury nature of the offerings. The customer base is split across high-end residential, luxury hospitality (Four Seasons, Aman, Mandarin Oriental, W Hotels, Marriott Luxury Collection), and the architecture and design community that specifies products for projects. Despite a deliberately small team of 8 employees and a minimal €210,000 share capital, Agape maintains a global footprint and has received Italy's most prestigious design recognition, including the EDIDA 2026 and the Compasso d'Oro XXIX Edition Career Award for Product.
