Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cristalplant® biobased and how does it differ from ceramic?

Cristalplant® biobased is a mineral composite developed in Italy that incorporates bio-based raw materials. Unlike ceramic, it is warm to the touch, non-porous, and can be repaired if scratched or chipped, making it well suited to a bathroom environment where longevity and surface integrity matter.

What configurations is the Agape Drop Washbasin available in?

Drop is offered as a freestanding column washbasin, a wall-mounted version, and an over-countertop basin in two sizes. Each configuration is designed to function independently as a sculptural object or integrate into a broader bathroom composition.

Who are Benedini Associati?

Benedini Associati is an Italian design studio founded by siblings Camilla, Giampaolo, and Tiziana Benedini, based in Milan. The studio has maintained a long creative relationship with Agape, developing bathroom objects that prioritize organic form, material quality, and restrained sensibility.

Is the Drop Washbasin suitable for a custom or contract bathroom project?

Yes. The range of configurations and the material properties of Cristalplant® biobased make Drop a considered choice for both residential and contract settings. Its clean, repairable surface and sculptural presence hold up in high-use environments without sacrificing formal character.

Can Cristalplant® biobased surfaces be repaired after damage?

One of the distinguishing properties of Cristalplant® biobased is its repairability. Surface scratches or minor damage can typically be remedied through polishing or professional refinishing, extending the lifespan of the piece considerably compared to ceramic alternatives.
