Watermark Designs Brooklyn Faucet Collection Celebrates 10-Year Anniversary
Watermark Designs is kicking off a year-long celebration honoring one of its most popular products: the Brooklyn faucet collection.
When Avi Abel met with Drew Stuart and Adam Rolston of Incorporated
Architecture & Design (Inc.) about a project in New York, they
weren't fully aware of the significance that their collaborative design
and resulting collection would ultimately have. As the faucet celebrates
its 10th year, it symbolizes everything that Watermark Designs
represents. Designed and manufactured entirely in Brooklyn, there was
never a doubt as to what the collection would be named: Brooklyn. The
original design was inspired by mid-century gate valves and garden hoses
used throughout New York City. The Brooklyn collection remains the
finest example of Watermark Designs' ability to manufacture industrial
artifacts that emulate the artisanal borough from which they hail.
Emblematic of its namesake city, the faucet was part of a display in the
"Made in New York" installation at the Museum of the City of New York's
South Street Seaport Museum. As Brooklyn turns 10, Avi Abel decided to
honor to the faucet by teaming up with Watering Minds, an organization
whose sole mission is to provide clean drinking water to children in
Haiti. Throughout 2018, Watermark Designs will be donating a portion of
Brooklyn collection proceeds to this charity.
