Three winners receive all-expenses-paid trip to Casa Fantini/Lake Time Resort in Pella, Italy

Fantini USA is proud to announce the winners of the fifth edition Fantini Design Awards, recognizing excellence in kitchen and bath design throughout North America. Architects, designers and building developers were called upon to submit eligible projects inspired by water and with a passion for Italian design that show how Fantini products helped turn their visions into reality.
In its fifth year, the Fantini Design Awards selected three winners based on creativity, design, inspiration and quality of the submitted materials. This year’s panel of judges were: Alissa Ponchione, Executive Editor of Hospitality Design magazine; Rachel Gallaher, Design Writer for Robb Report, Gray Magazine and others; and Steven Casey, Partner at KPMB Architects, whose expertise and creativity align with Fantini’s passion for innovative thinking.
And the winners are: 
 
Saint-Pierre designed by La Firme – A unique home in Montreal, Quebec featuring the Aboutwater by Boffi and Fantini’s AF/21 Fukasawa collection.

Foxbar Residence designed by Nonument – A one-of-a-kind home in Toronto, Ontario featuring the Aboutwater by Boffi and Fantini’s AF/ 21 and AK/25 collections.

One representative per winning project will travel to the Fantini headquarters on the stunning Lake Orta in Pella, Italy in 2025, as a part of a 4-day, all-expenses-paid trip. While enjoying a tour of Fantini’s state-of-the-art factory and headquarters designed by Piero Lissoni, winners will experience local traditions for the area and stay at Fantini’s exclusive resort, Casa Fantini/Lake Time. 
Fantini’s guiding influence is water. With the power to move and to inspire, to invigorate and to offer peace, water has continued to be a wellspring of creativity throughout Fantini’s 70-year history.  The winning projects have been selected with this appreciation of water as well as creativity in bringing Italian Design to North American audiences in mind.
