A designer towel rail uniting classic and modern just as a ladder's rungs – ‘pioli’ - link two different levels. This is the image which inspired Pioli, the new designer towel rail by Andrea Crosetta for Antrax IT. Bringing together a range of evocations in its design, it is an original take on the ladder. The extreme versatility and practicability of this object with its thousands of years of history has come back to life in heating décor.
Its shape makes the floor and resting against a wall its natural place but Pioli designer towel rail can also be wall mounted making for a powerful style presence. Two carbon steel rails extending 207 cm are the supports to which the rectangular section 'ladder rungs' are attached in unconventional way. Grouped into three 40 or 50 cm elements they give a touch of flair and eclectic style to a room. Pioli's essential uniqueness is highlighted by black or white but it is also available in more than 200 colour variants from the Antrax IT sample range.

Designer
Andrea Crosetta
Born in 1968 he grew up in a world of art touched by music (he studied at the conservatory), sculpture, painting and architecture through his studies, first at the high school of the arts, and later at the University of Venice Department of Architecture. During his studies, he constantly maintained direct contact with the labour market thus learning a wide range of construction techniques in such fields as wood-working, metal-working, ceramics, etc. In the early 1990s his first designer radiator went into production and quickly won market acclaim.
Among the various projects, of particular note is the collection of fireplaces and radiators he has designed for Antrax. Indeed, not only did these items gain significant market success, they have also been selected for various awards such as the Compasso d’oro for the Tubone designer radiator.
