Founded in 1973 in Verona family Benedini and then moved to Mantua, Agape owes much of aesthetics, innovation and passion that animate the country's location between Milan, Veneto and Emilia. The company was born with the vocation to draw new interpretations of the bathroom and is now one of the landmarks of contemporary furniture. With Agape bathroom—a living environment dedicated to wellness and rejuvenation—stops being just a functional space to become the emotional center of the house.

Innovation, research, coherence, new materials and flexible solutions have been the key concepts of Agape's business philosophy since it was established in 1973. The company's mission is to make the bathroom a more comfortable and aesthetically stimulating space by rethinking conventional typologies.
