11/01/2021 - Agape presents a new catalogue of outdoor bathroom collections. The visual narrative is set amidst historical Mantua residences and a natural landscape nestled between the Po and Mincio rivers.

The new publication confirms the brand's long-standing collaboration with photographer Andrea Ferrari whose lenses transform light into matter, casting sensual shadows and warm reflections on its products.
The catalogue also includes images by Maurizio Zatachetto, whose sensibility balances delicate details with softly implied backgrounds. Over 4 days, the two photographers created more than 400 photographs, 33 of which were included in the 78-page catalogue following a painstaking selection and post-production process.

Set in the gardens of two historic residences in the heart of Mantua, the images tell the stories of two fragments of private paradise reflected in the delicate tastes of their respective owners. Between indoors and out, the two spaces between Architecture and Nature offer compelling perspectives in perfect harmony with the Agape Outdoor Collection's philosophy.

The gardens of the company's historical headquarters between the rivers Po and Mincio in the heart of the Mantua countryside was the third location, illustrating the affinities that led - almost inevitably - to the birth of the Agape Outdoor Collection.

After years of collaboration on Agapecasa projects, Roberto Barazzuol returns to the brand with this catalogue. His project debuts an entirely new and much larger format with a catalogue now measuring 310 x 230 mm (H x W, when closed - 310 x 460 mm when open).
The new layout better represents high-quality photography and anticipates what is to come. Future Agape publications already in the pipeline will follow the example of the Outdoor Catalogue with this new format.

Great images are of little value without a layout that assembles and organises them; Roberto Barazzuol's careful typography - the fruit of long experience and delicate sensibilities – does the job.

The result is a catalogue with more than 90 articles grouped into 11 product families and 5 categories for maximum clarity. Marta Lonardi's gentle, informal and sometimes irreverent illustrations that are quickly becoming a trademark of Agape's latest communications enrich the volume.

A separate chapter contains detailed technical information, including the dimensions and finishes available for each product. In addition, a special section provides the specifications of the materials used in the collection.

The digital version is available on the Agape website, while the printed catalogue will be published in the coming months. Its arrival confirms Agape's focus on outdoor space - part of the domestic landscape, a key component of contemporary life.
