The history of Sottini began with two brothers Antonio and Guiseppe Sottini, they were craftsmen who founded their business making fittings for bathrooms earlier this century in Italy. Their dedication to traditional, hand-made quality coupled with innovation made their business a success. Bathrooms bearing the Sottini name pay attention to every detail and combine the best in classic design with the latest technology.

Today Sottini is a company within the Ideal-Standard family, catering for the specialist bathroom market. The Sottini range embodies all the best features of design, quality and engineering, to bring Sottini customers, products that will last and add value to their home. Sottini products are only available through an exclusive network of showrooms throughout the UK.

The removal of unnecessary ornament was believed by the revolutionary Bauhaus movement of the 1920s to lead to a new functional beauty. Michelangelo had much the same idea four centuries earlier.

Form follows function is demonstrated here in a series of stunning bathroom designs created by brilliant designers such as Robin Levien, Royal Designer for Industry, and internationally famous architect Gae Aulenti, who designed Arum.

The unique designs of the mixers and taps have been given the same consideration and, as with the porcelain, many have been created by famous designers.

Carefully crafted from solid brass and plated in chromium they are as efficient as they are beautiful.
