FCML
The Goccia range of faucets, basins, taps, shower-heads from Gessi, an Italian designer sanitaryware company, is good-looking enough to be put in the living room. A deceptively simple-looking design inspired by a drop of water, the basins come fitted with an electronic sensor tap and LED, so that when you put your hands under the spout, illuminated water gushes out — blue for cold and red for hot.
