It's a Wash

Stylish vessels enhance both kitchen and bath

 

RIGHT ANGLE  Face à Face, a new tub by French architect Jean Nouvel for Agape, is distinguished by a natural marble surface and straight sides that appear to just meet, but are held together by invisible joints. A backrest on one side is angled for comfort. agapedesign.it


CLASSIC COOL   The Sawyer freestanding tub by Americh embraces a classic aesthetic, with deep sides and a polymer-composite or acrylic interior. The exterior shell comes in white acrylic, smooth or hammered nickel and smooth, unlacquered brass (shown). americh.com


SHINY SURFACE  A reflective, distressed surface characterizes the Bacifiore 24-inch Butler Sink, designed by Mick De Giulio for Kallista. Made of 16-gauge brushed stainless steel, the vessel is hand-polished to achieve its shimmery finish. Also offered with an apron front. kallista.com


INDUSTRY FAVORITE  Watermark’s Elan Vital 38 monoblock faucet and side spray conjure industrial style via components that resemble commercial ball valves and plumbing fittings. The fixture is available in a range of configurations and finishes; Pewter is pictured. watermark-designs.com


TIMELESS STYLE Part of the Kohler X Studio McGee collection, the Edalyn two-hole bridge faucet with side sprayer combines classic and modern influences. Seen here in Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass with the Ironridge Farmhouse sink, made of enameled cast iron. kohler.com


FINE LINES  Masterminded for Duravit by Danish designer Cecilie Manz, the Luv Bathtub is a graceful white oval with a slender rim. The freestanding vessel is made out of the company’s patented resin material, which feels like stone and is naturally slip-resistant. duravit.us


LET IT FLOW The Catris Flexo Filter faucet from Blanco delivers filtered and unfiltered water at the touch of a dial on the base of the insulated, pull-down faucet. The fixture, which connects to most common filtration systems, comes in matte black (pictured), chrome and PDV steel finishes. blanco.com


GOING GREEN  Stone Forest’s popular Papillon Bathtub is a functional work of art, formed from solid blocks of stone, then refined and sculpted with a hammer and chisel. The company recently unveiled a new version in Verde Indio— a lush and distinctive green marble. stoneforest.com
