Aster is a collection of unparalleled reliability with an essential design of sophisticated elegance. Painstaking ergonomic studies have led to the creation of the handle, the distinguishing feature of the Aster collection, combining the functional characteristics of traditional handles with simple, taut lines and perfect harmony of volume. The Protector device, mounted inside the handles, ensures that the tap can be turned off perfectly without exceeding the correct pressure on the seal, thus enormously reducing wear and ensuring unparalleled reliability. The Aster collection has now been renovated and new spouts added, giving formal consistency to the basic desing of the control handles, and there are new wall-mounted concealed models for bath, shower and washbasin. These are indispensable for top-mounted washbasins. The flush-mounted wall models can be supplied with or without plate and, as with all Stella collections, Aster taps are complete with mounting units made of bronze (the most rugged and reliable of all). They are equipped with a patented adjustment system that compensates for any errors of depth there may be in the mounting unit (caused by different depths of plaster or facing materials, or errors in the size or position of the pipes, etc.) making it possible to maintain the external chrome-plated parts perfectly balanced and in proportion. The Aster collection is made with a chrome-plated finish of a quality that clearly reflects Stella's commitment to perfection.
