Zucchetti. Kos are two design oriented brands. Innovative, ground-breaking products were born and continue to be born from the style and creativity of some of the best designers on the international scene.
Mario Zucchetti, President of the emerging Zucchetti SPA, strongly believed in the importance of the design image of any product, as a synthesis of innovative technical and aesthetic values. He decided to call in Studio Nizzoli for the first single-control mixer produced in Italy. Later on, Zucchetti work with many designers, such as Giorgio Marianelli, Raul Barbieri, Matteo Thun, etc.
