Tipo-Z
Design by Ludovica + Roberto Palomba
The evolution of an iconic design by Giò Ponti, the Tipo-Z totem basin enters the Atelier Collections as an elegant protagonist in a new vision of the bathroom.
Precision, craft and passion make the impossible possible – a totem basin produced as a single, fluent piece of fine ceramic.

Engineered lightness
Modern technology and ceramic mastery has allowed Ponti’s original play on vertical elegance to evolve into the epitome of lightness.
Ideal Standard has set itself the goal of creating a unique piece in light and thin ceramic. Not everyone would have been able to carry out this ambition. It is a tribute to the many Ideal Standard artisans, from Gio Ponti in 1954 to today.

The icon
Tipo–Z has a character, it has a precise identity and wants to show it.

Ponti used to play with broken flat surfaces in search of vertical elegance, synonymous with lightness, while today a monolithic gesture is proposed, an architectural silhouette, a unique piece: a natural evolution of the original thought.

Timeless charm
With its slender silhouette, Tipo-Z not only has poise in the bathroom, it’s comfortable being the main attraction in any space – in a gloss black, matt black, matt white or gloss white finish.
