The new addition to antoniolupi's portfolio follows previous designs from De Palo which include the Canto del Fuoco fireplace - in 2008 - and the Talamo bathroom collection, in 2009.

Strappo is a washbasin said to be able to merge with the surface on which it is installed, seeming to want to come out from the wall and yet at the same time giving it life and shape.

Explaining, De Palo said: "I wanted to design a washbasin that seems to tear a strip off the wall, to give life to a new concept of living the bathroom."

Strappo is entirely made of Corian and - once encased in the wall, brushed and plastered - can be finished in the same fashion as the wall to which it is fitted.

The result is like a piece torn out from the wall, carving out a niche where the basin sits.
