Nic / NIC Design is an Italian company for bathroom furniture and ceramic bathroom fittings — founded in 2002 by two designers driven by the same passion who joined forces: Stefano Morelli and Roberto Testale. In the very year of its founding in 2002, Morelli and Testale received the Design Plus Award at ISH Frankfurt for the Victoria shower tray — an immediate signal that the company was looking for products that set a benchmark. The underlying motivation for the founding: to finally approach the bathroom as a segment that designers had left to other living spaces for decades, with a serious design language.
Materials and production philosophy: ceramics as the primary material — pure volumes, rigorous geometries, strength through subtraction. Made-in-Italy values as a cultural context: know-how in sophisticated design plus artisanal processing of raw materials. 700+ products in the catalogue, 25 colours. Awards: ADI Design Index, Design Plus, Archiproducts Design Award 2021 (Trama 130 — washbasin/console, Studio 63, with Iroko wood substructure). Reference clients from the fashion world: Prada, Armani, Fendi, Guggi, Brunello Cucinelli, Yamamay. Designers: Ilaria Marelli (Milk — totemic floor-standing washbasins, spontaneous lines/immediate character), Studio 63 (Trama 130). Iconic products: Milk series, Ovvio (free-standing washbasin — perfect cylinder), Semplice (monolith, no sharp edges), Pool (Corian bathtub, reduced profile/visual lightness).
