Azzurra Ceramica

Azzurra Ceramica is an Italian manufacturer of ceramic sanitaryware and bathroom furnishings, founded in 1985 in Civita Castellana (VT) — in Lazio's historic ceramics district, whose tradition reaches back to Etruscan times. The current corporate structure, uniting four founding families, dates from 1991. The company employs around 120 people, operates approximately 30,000 m² of production space and manufactures around 300,000 units annually, exported to over 35 countries across all continents. In 2007 Angeletti Ruzza Design began as artistic directors. From 2019 DGO_Diego Grandi Office took over corporate identity, catalogue and communication redesign. A Milan showroom opened in 2018.

Azzurra was the world's first company in 2010 to develop a toilet that flushes with just 2.7 litres (Water Saving Project; current standard 3 litres). Technologies: Vortex flush system, Easy Clean, SoloDue® patent, anti-slip treatment, No Drop System. Designer collaborations: Daniel Libeskind (Hera collection, inspired by neoclassical marble sculptures), Alessandro Mendini, Gordon Guillaumier, Martí Guixé, Matteo Ragni, Paolo Ulian and many others. Awards: Compasso d'Oro honourable mention (2011), three nominations at Designpreis Deutschland (2011), ADI Design Index (2010), Red Dot Award (2009), iF Product Design Award (2009).
