As a brand whose main audience are architects and designers, we always strive to create products of a certain caliber. We know there are many choices available for faucets, however we really believe that those who choose to work with us know they are getting products that are not only made right here in our beloved Brooklyn but that are authentic and made to the highest standard. It is with this in mind that we recently became members of Be Original Americas, a non-profit organization committed to informing, educating and influencing manufacturers, design professionals and individuals on the economic, ethical, and environmental value of authentic design while preserving and investing in its future.
We remain committed to designing products of value, and we appreciate everyone who also believes in and supports authentic design.
Here are two of our most unique designs. Our Brooklyn faucet is coming up on its 10th anniversary, and so clearly does Brooklyn represent U.S. manufacturing and the city of Brooklyn, it was displayed in the “Made in New York” installation at the Museum of the City of New York’s South Street Seaport Museum. Elements is our newest collection and one that delivers on its promise to provide complete customization.
BROOKLYN
Inspired by mid-century gate valves and garden hoses, our Brooklyn faucet was designed in collaboration with the New York design studio Incorporated Architecture & Design INC). Resembling spokes connected to the axle of a Ferris wheel, Brooklyn’s handles radiate a distinct, historical style treasured by urban loyalists. The collection is available in any of our 24 finishes, and it includes widespread, single hole and wall mount faucets, as well as thermostatic shower, floor and vessel fillers.
Elements
Our newest design, Elements, offers the ability to play with color, form and texture, in the creation of a unique design statement. The Elements collection is the first self-designed faucet collection; redefining custom design by giving the consumer an endless possibility of faucet choice combinations. The Elements collection is comprised of fourteen handle styles, called Covers which were designed by the Watermark Designs Studio. The Covers are grouped into four material categories that each provide texture and additional interest. The categories are: RAW, ROCK, LUMBER and FORGED.
Each Cover has a base made of brass which is available in any of Watermark’s 24 finishes. Along with the base, there are two options for Inserts, which are decorative and also help provide additional grip. The Inserts are available in two styles: Bridge style and Scallop style. These Inserts are also available in any of Watermark’s 24 finishes. The Inserts are snapped into place and held using Watermark’s patent pending rare earth magnets.
There are also several faucet Body choices – also available in 24 finishes and when taken together, the number of design options is almost 387,072!
With the many options available for Elements, the design team – a collaboration with Watermark Designs’ UK partner, The Watermark-Collection, and Watermark Designs – developed a website exclusively for Elements. The site acts as a tool to help people design their individual Element collection.
