New tapware brand Amphora partnered with Studio Adolini for its debut faucet collection, Reel. Defined by a linear purity, the taps and mixers feature a shared circular handle with vertical grooves for textural impact. Made with a 316-steel exterior (in hand-brushed steel, black PVD or copper PVD) and lead-free brass interior, the faucets have an inset aerator and flow control valve to ensure a smooth stream of water.
Influenced by modern sculptures, expertly tailored fashion and industrial design, New York studio Gachot appointed Finot for Waterworks with clean lines and refined details. Balancing rigour and simplicity, the extensive collection (which includes lighting, accessories and hardware) is offered in four standard finishes — chrome, nickel, brass and dark nickel — and can be custom-ordered in copper, gold, burnished brass and more.
Milanese studio Calvi Brambilla calculated a precise geometric super circle — or squircle — to form the handles of its Super collection for QuadroDesign. The combined square and circle offers a generous surface for the hand and is accompanied by slender, slightly bent spouts in brushed stainless steel. The suite includes basin mixers, shower fixtures and more.
Well-proportioned, highly tactile and ergonomic, the Flora collection by Vincent Van Duysen for Fantini is pleasing to the touch. At once modern, industrial and charming, the series — finished in a sophisticated matte gunmetal PVD — is defined by its single and double levers, which gracefully fan outward and lend the fixtures a nostalgic touch.
Referencing the Old World architecture and elegant bridges of European cities through classical curves and fluted detailing, the Carinthia collection by Vogt has a timeless appeal. The solid brass bodies can be finished in chrome, brushed or polished nickel and brushed gold with a matching or contrasting matte black handle.
Emphasizing pure and refined forms, these basin faucets have a strong visual impact.
