TH465, a piece of our history

The Techno 465 range was idealized on the first decade of the 21st century by one of the most internationally rewarded Portuguese designers, Carlos Aguiar. It was an important milestone in CIFIAL’s range of taps and fittings which today includes more than 54 versions.

The Techno 465 tap combines the flow rate and temperature control functions with a single handle and support for bathroom objects in a single object that is directly attached to the plumbing system.
Its shape, particularly in terms of the exposed shower and bath-shower models, is so innovative that it has been the subject of an invention patent covering the architecture of the faucet and the colored ABS support devices that are lodged on it.
This evolution was only possible by profoundly reformulating the traditional architecture of the bath-shower tap, moving the entire control interface system to the front of the object - single-lever and shower/bath flow inverter - achieving a completely free upper surface to receive the support element made of injected translucent ABS, colored blue or orange.

This revolutionary model was a winner of the “Design Plus ISH Award 2001” in Germany, the “Good Design 2002” in the US and the “RedDot Design Award 2002” in Germany. It was also a finalist of the “IF Product Design 2002” in Hanover and the “Designpreis der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 2004” in Germany.
