Brizo® and Fashion Designer Jason Wu Team Up to Offer a Complete Line of Bath Products
In November 2011, fashion for the runway and home collided when the highly anticipated Jason Wu for Brizo™ powder room collection debuted. The Brizo® brand and Jason Wu have since expanded the collection, giving homeowners the option to outfit their entire bathroom with pieces from the Jason Wu for Brizo full bath suite.
“The powder room collection launch was the first step in this exciting collaboration with Jason,” said Judd Lord, Brizo director of industrial design. “The full bath collection provides homeowners with the ability to further integrate fashion into the home with a suite of coordinating products for the master bathroom.”
The Jason Wu for Brizo collection strikes a delicate balance between sleek Scandinavian inspiration and Baroque detailing. The juxtaposition of ultra-modern clean lines and ornamentation marks the fusion of design styles from Jason Wu and the Brizo brand. For consumers, the end result is a sophisticated and inspired collection that now includes a variety of faucet configurations, including a fully electronic lavatory and vessel lavatory with SmartTouchPlus™ and TempIQ™ technologies, as well as a single-handle lavatory available with optional SmartTouchPlus™ with TempID™ Technology, allowing touch or hands-free water activation with a temperature-indicating LED light. Widespread lavatory and wall-mount lavatory, 3- and 4-hole Roman tubs, single-handle floor mount freestanding tub filler, bidet and shower fixtures are also available. The faucets and shower trims in this full bathroom suite share the same architecture as the Odin™ bath collection, but are available exclusively in the Jason Wu for Brizo signature Matte Black finish.
The fully electronic faucets feature an electronic thermostatic EPV™ valve, which replaces the traditional manual valve that sits below the deck. In addition to the unique design and unexpected rotating handle motion on these faucets, the electronic valve enables a number of cutting edge technologies:
- SmartTouchPlus™ Technology - The next generation of the revolutionary Brizo SmartTouch technology, SmartTouchPlus technology adds hand-free sensing to existing touch-sensitive operation. An LED light lets users know if they are in Touch Mode (solid color) or Hands-Free Mode (flashing) and changes color from blue to magenta to red to indicate water temperature.
- TempIQ® Temperature Control Technology - TempIQ technology senses the water before the user does. An LED light built into the electronic faucet changes color from blue to magenta to red, letting consumers know exactly when water has reached the desired temperature. It adjusts the water mixture to ensure a consistent water temperature with no sudden (and unwelcome) increases or decreases. It also features a high-temperature limit stop at 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius), offering an added degree of safety in the bath.
