INDIANAPOLIS - Brizo^®, the faucet brand for the fashion forward, introduces a new bathroom collection that bridges the gap between traditional and modern design. The transitional Charlotte bath collection features flowing lines and classical elegance throughout a full suite. Bold symmetry, fused with rich details, provides an aura of instant sophistication to any bath.

The inspiration for the collection lies in the Art Deco movement, which is well known for its bold linear symmetry, lavish designs, and opulent style. The scalloped handles on the lavatory faucets add a layering detail often seen in ornate art deco buildings and sculptures.

The Charlotte collection serves as the platform for the launch of the new Brizo Cocoa Bronze^TM finish, which features warm, dark bronze tones. The finish adds to the luxury of the Charlotte collection's transitional design and is the perfect complement to the suite's polished nickel accents.

"A trend we continue to see is a warmer color palette that can be used on fixtures ranging from traditional to modern," said Judd Lord, director of industrial design for the Brizo brand. "The Cocoa Bronze finish was specifically introduced so that any Brizo design can project an air of warmth and friendliness to the space, ultimately complementing the overall environment."
