Helm, signed by Lopez Quincoces, could be called an “absolute”, iconic object that takes the classic archetype of the tap with cross handles and turns it into cylindrical volumes that have been deconstructed then reconstructed, with carefully-designed proportion. “I start from complex ideas," explained the designer, "to then get to a synthesis and find a style that will most effectively stand the test of time and circumvent trends."

Helm is the first line of steel taps launched by Zucchetti, both in single-lever and three hole versions. The design has been enriched by the introduction of colours, textures, vertical ridges and knurling to expand and diversify the aesthetics of the product, making it simultaneously exquisite and highly performing, brutalist and ultra-chic.

Helm began from pure geometric shapes, combining them to create a versatile line with broad appeal that is particularly well-suited to the world of architecture. It provides different solutions to market demands, in all types of spaces: from commercial to hotel/contract and private homes.

The Helm range is available is a wide range of combinations to suit every bathroom design, with products available in:

• Five stunning finishes: Brushed stainless steel, Brushed British gold, Brushed gold, Brushed total black, Brushed copper
• Three knurling options: Smooth flange, vertical knurling, diagonal weave knurling
• Two handle design options: Cross handle and lever handle
