INDIANAPOLIS - Brizo^®, the faucet brand for the fashion forward, has merged modern lines with soft, graceful arcs to bring homeowners the Siderna^® collection, its latest collection for the bath.  The Siderna collection takes its inspiration from the striking contrast between natural elements and sleek, geometric structures, showing how two worlds that could be viewed so differently can come together to create such beauty.

The Siderna collection's ribbon spout architecture plays squarely to the modern design trend.  The addition of glass accents adds to the beauty of this model as the juxtaposition of the machined glass and metal components celebrates the beauty found in the precision of man-made objects.  The glass also provides focus on air, light and shadow, while the simple, defined lines play to the desire for serene spaces by offering less visual clutter.

"The Siderna collection was inspired by the study of waterfalls and their surroundings," said Judd Lord, director of industrial design for the Brizo brand.  "We merged soft, flowing curves that mimic the beautiful movement of cascading waterfalls with stark, crisp lines to create modern sophistication that will appeal to those looking to incorporate something exceptional in their homes."

The Siderna collection includes a complete suite that provides a full range of design options for the homeowner:

• Single-handle, single-hole lavatory
• Two-handle, widespread lavatory
• Single-handle, single-hole vessel lavatory
• Two-handle, wall mount lavatory
• Wall and ceiling mount raincan showerheads
• Medium Flow TempAssure^® shower trims
• Sensori^TM High Flow Thermostatic shower trims
• Three- and four-hole roman tubs
• Glass accent handles available on two-handle lavatory and roman tub models

Inventive Use of Magnetic Technology

To stay true to the sleek, clean aesthetic of Siderna, many of the collection offerings incorporate handles that secure to the valve using rare earth magnets.  The magnets possess industrial strength, which provides a secure fit and flush mount installation. This inventive feature eliminates the need for any set screws and the potential for handle gap. Rare earth magnets are also utilized on the tub/shower escutcheons to maintain the clean, modern lines of the Siderna collection and eliminate any visible set screws that would mar its beauty. The showerheads are available in both a 6-inch square raincan and a 10-inch rectangular raincan that can be used in either wall mount or ceiling mount applications.
