Gold and brass are the hottest finishes in interiors right now, and California Faucets is leading this modern day gold rush with its culinary kitchen faucets.
California Faucets offers designers and homeowners alike a new ingredient when it comes to personalizing their kitchen design. Among the array of customizable faucet options designed to let you express your inner chef is a wide spectrum of on-trend gold and brass finishes. In fact, according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), shades of gold and brass are the hottest finishes in today’s kitchens and baths.
“Traditionally, silver and gray-toned faucet finishes have dominated the kitchen and bath landscape. But over the past year or so, we’ve noticed a definite increase in gold and brass finishes,” explains Noah Taft, senior vice president of marketing and sales. “Rich gold tones infuse the kitchen with the look of luxury, while brass tones allow you to capture a more ‘industrial’ or ‘steampunk,’ vibe.”
With a vision for the reemergence of this classic finish, California Faucets offers one of the largest varieties of premium gold and brass finishes available on the market. While gold tones such as Lifetime Gold, French Gold, and Lifetime Polished Gold offer a sense of glamour, brass finishes like Satin Brass, Satin Bronze, and Polished Brass are less about “bling” and more about subtle beauty. These artisan finishes, produced by hand at the company’s Huntington Beach, California factory, allow consumers to venture outside their chrome and nickel comfort zones and experiment with an alternate decorative color spectrum.
In addition to the streamlined Culinary faucets, which offer an industry-first ability to color the outer spring in one of over 13 PVD finishes, there are four additional pull-down kitchen faucets series available in the company’s distinctive shades of gold and brass. These include the traditional Davoli Series, the curvy Rosolina Series, and the minimalist Poetto Series.
Plus with the coordinating sink accessories in matching finishes that come with each series, there’s no guesswork when it comes to creating a perfectly harmonized sink ensemble.
Special finishes for the Culinary Kitchen faucets, which include Satin Brass and Polished Brass, start at $1,223. Premium finishes such as Satin Bronze, Lifetime Satin Gold, Lifetime Polished Gold, and French Gold retail for $1,553. Special finishes for Pull-Down Kitchen faucets start at $1,094.
Beyond gold hues, the Corsano and all of the company’s kitchen faucets are available in a selection of more than 30 artisan finishes, including 15 PVD finishes with a lifetime guarantee against tarnishing. For a list of California Faucets Select Dealers nationwide, visit CaliforniaFaucets.com.
The new Leawood tap and shower collection is designed by Martin Brudnizki for Drummonds as part of an ongoing collaboration producing inspirational bathroomware and accessories. The name behind many famous interiors, Martin Brudnizki and his And Objects studio are famously focused on the ergonomics of how products are used, designing pieces that are as practical as they are beautiful.
This attention to detail shines through every aspect of the Leawood collection. The hallmark flattened end on the lever controls was derived from careful observation of how tools were developed to comfortably fit the human hand. The forms were specifically designed to make the most of the centuries-old lost-wax process that Drummonds has always used to manufacture its brassware. Drummonds’ craftsmen worked closely with Martin Brudnizki’s team to finesse every element, from initial sketches to the finished products, with their strong, simple aesthetic. This modern brassware is, literally, a work of art.
Available in polished brass, polished chrome and polished nickel, the Leawood tap and shower collection pulls off the feat of being as much at home in a stark, minimal bathroom as in a traditional setting. This echoes the classic contemporary philosophy that runs through all of Drummonds’ products. The collection is comprised of a floor standing bath and shower mixer, shower controls, wall mounted and deck mounted basin taps.
Infini, a new luxury bath collection, marks the first collaboration between THG-Paris and Haviland, a Limoges porcelain manufacturer.
As the leading French atelier for the luxury bath, THG-Paris‘ new collection combines exquisite detail with timeless design. THG-Paris and Haviland’s designers re-imagined the classic Infini pattern to create this one-of-a-kind collection, which is hand-engraved and delicately hand-painted by French artisans.
Haviland, known worldwide for its porcelain tableware, has been a leading porcelain manufacturer since 1842, and has been designed for presidents including Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant.
“It is our great privilege to work with Haviland,” said Pedro Uranga, North American director for THG-Paris. “The brand has long been synonymous with quality and refinement, designing for presidents and royalty since the 19th century. Like THG, Haviland is dedicated to the highest level of craft and artistry. Our collaboration has produced something we can both be proud of.”
Infini is offered in various configurations for basins, matching bath tub and shower systems as well as a range of matching accessories. The collection is offered in different finishes, including white, gold and platinum.
