AST01 Deck-Mounted Progressive Mixer

Form, Flexibility & Identity

The AST01 mixer features a deck-mounted base and a removable spout with an adjustable height of 185 mm, representing a perfect union of functional mechanics and expressive aesthetics. The design reflects the collection’s inspiration—ASTA, a standing stem, and the shape of a microphone, reinterpreted through modern material and color.

The spout connects via a flexible silicone rubber tube, which replaces traditional steel piping with a vibrant, touchable surface. Available in white, aqua green, cobalt blue, and anthracite grey, the tube enhances both visual impact and user interaction, allowing subtle customization and playful integration into the interior space.

Built-In Stability

To ensure maximum reliability in diverse installation contexts, AST01 includes a concealed hydraulic connection system in AISI 304 stainless steel. This component includes:

• A robust anchoring bracket

• Compatibility with wall, ceiling, and floor applications

• Precision alignment for long-term structural stability

The connection remains hidden from view, allowing the design to speak uninterrupted while supporting performance beneath the surface.

Material & Surface Excellence

Manufactured from AISI 316L stainless steel, AST01 is designed to perform under intense conditions, ensuring:

• Corrosion resistance, even in marine or high-humidity zones

• Long-term surface purity and hygiene, suitable for residential or professional use

• Sustainable production with fully recyclable metal alloy

The body is available in two mechanically derived finishes—satin and polished—which reflect light differently to suit a range of stylistic environments.

Color & Coating Innovation

The special finishes offered by CEA (Black Diamond, Bronze, Copper, Light Gold) are applied through an advanced plasma deposition process. Utilizing a vacuum environment, microparticles of zirconium and graphite transition through vapor and condense into a high-density, ultra-thin film on the steel. This creates:

• A tougher, more scratch-resistant surface

• Increased resistance to chemical agents and coastal conditions

• Self-cleaning behavior in the Black Diamond variant, repelling mineral buildup

• An eco-compatible, hypoallergenic composition with enhanced tactile quality

These finishes highlight the natural brilliance of AISI 316L steel while introducing character and performance enhancements tailored to client preference.

Silicone Rubber: Technical and Visual Value

The silicone tube used in AST01 provides a dual role—functional flexibility and color-driven personalization. Sourced from medical-grade silicone, it offers exceptional resistance to chemical damage, limescale, and sudden pressure fluctuations. This material remains stable across a wide temperature range—from -55°C to +200°C—ensuring lasting performance even outdoors. The production method allows for a deep color infusion, preserving brightness and shade over time without fading.

Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and performance of AST01 over time, care should be taken to regularly clean all surfaces using products suited for stainless steel. Rinsing and thorough drying will help prevent the buildup of minerals, especially in regions with hard water. It is essential to avoid any cleaners containing harsh chemicals such as bleach, chlorides, ammonia, or acid-based substances, as these may degrade the finish. Instead, cleaning agents with a neutral pH should be used. When necessary, diluted isopropyl alcohol or sodium carbonate may be applied to the steel areas only. These alternatives are safe, non-toxic, and environmentally sound. To preserve the integrity of both satin and polished surfaces, it is recommended to avoid the use of abrasive materials such as scouring pads or powders. Finally, installing a filtration and softening system will greatly reduce the long-term effects of limescale both internally and externally, ensuring continued performance and visual clarity.
