This Co. I Biocci has been using this symbol a lot longer than Ferrari. So for that matter has Porsche. So has the city of Stutgart. These are very nice fixtures. I have them at my house. You should know that they are expensive and parts are not often in stock. The washers don't stand up to very hot water but there are alternative washers that do. In my kids bath I used red handles for hot and blue for cold. Hastings carries them and is a good vendor. |

Redhead, probably yes. It is hard to tell from their website, but my gutt feeling says yes.
What I saw at the showroom was a Balocchi3 style of faucets etc, but they had them in red. It looked really sharp. Can't really tell from the website, but it looks as if the horsey is on there. The horse btw was silver on black and jumping in the wrong direction (darn!), but otherwise looked very Ferrari like.
If you *REALLY* care, I can ask my shop where I got all my bathroom stuff, I bet they'd know.
Now imagine these faucets combined with the original Ferrari tiles (avail from Continental) with the Cavallo on them and you got yourself a loo where the Tifosi won't come out again... |

Currently busy with a bathroom remodeling project and so I have become (against my free will) an 'expert' in bathroom fixtures. Came across some from 'Hastings' and boy, are they cool: They got the cavallo rampante on them. Though it is mirrored, meaning the horsey jumps to the left, but I was surprised FNA wasn't having a fit over this 'infringement'. Also the fixtures themselves come in different colors, but the most prominent is tomato red.
If my bathroom would be anywhere near my garage, I'd definitely go for this style. And actually thinking about it, I believe (leaking memory dizzyclaimer), that I have seen these fixtures at Marchetti's in Chicago at their 'host' place, where they used to have F meetings. Quite fitting.
Just thought I run this by you guys in case somebody plans to add fixtures to their garage or what have you. |
