Those craving a spark of life will love these unique products designed by experts and industry favorites that seamlessly weave function with design.

Lighting the Way

Brighten a space with what can only be described as one-of-a-kind kitchen lighting, by Tom Dixon. Breakaway from the norm with organic shapes and soft edges that make up his new collection.

Carved, molded, and manipulated, various materials like white Morwad marble stand out in rooms with an overabundance of neutral colors and plain fixtures.

Fancy Faucets

Transform even your most basic household items, even the kitchen sink, with an inspiring, black matte finish. California Faucets’ recently launched Kitchen Collection is “a refreshing change from chrome and stainless steel,” says Noah Taft, the senior vice president of marketing and sales.

This new collection is far from limited; there are 30 artisan finishes to choose from, including polished rose bronze, weathered copper, and satin gold. Settle no more between function and aesthetics. With “a lifetime guarantee against tarnishing” the days of compromise are over.

Italian Cooking

The family-owned manufacturer Bertazzoni also appreciates the matte black stylistic appeal with its newly released Professional and Master Series ranges. The expansive ranges make them functional and elegant.

“The kitchen is the heart of the home, and the range is the protagonist in the kitchen,” added Valentina Bertazzoni, style and brand director of Bertazzoni. Keeping in mind the 163 years of experience and Italian influence, the stunning new models make perfect sense. Enchanting hues of red, orange, yellow, white, and black are a breath of fresh air amongst conventional styles.

Italian Cooking

The brand Stone Forest has been taking natural materials like stone and marble to new levels for 25 years. Now, its new Workstation Sink collection of Farmhouse sinks is seizing popularity with wave-like and basket-woven patterns that stand out among other brands.

“Our popular Wave Front Kitchen Sink, was re-engineered as a workstation with a range of accessory options, including colander, cutting board, and drying rack,” says Mike Zimber, founder of Stone Forest. Along with that, we added a new Basket Weave Pattern with workstation accessories as well.”

Originally designed for comfort, the Farmhouse sink meshes function and style perfectly. Breaking traditional smooth and sleek designs that are typical in kitchens, these patterns prove that natural materials make for stunning, luxury designs.
