Mountain Plumbing Products introduced a new Traditional Round Rain Head shower head design.
Don't be fooled by the large look of this rain can, this solid brass
beauty has powerful pressure similar to their ultra-slim styles. Made in
8" and 10" sizes, with an 1/2" IPS swivel ball joint for easy
adjustment, this shower head is available in five different finishes,
giving your shower a traditional touch of class. The Re-Vive™ shower
arms are available in various popular styles and finishes too. The
Re-Vive™ shower heads are seamlessly constructed of 304 Grade stainless
steel, making these tough beauties the perfect fit for both outdoor and
indoor showers. Clog-free silicone nozzles ensure both a strong, smooth
flow and easy cleaning. Each shower head comes with a standard 1.6 GPM
flow restrictor, but this can be switched out with a 2.5 GPM restrictor
which is also provided for areas that do not require the lower flow
rate.

ICERA's new Malibu II Back-Outlet Toilet
features a powerful, water-efficient and quiet gravity flush. The
Malibu also features a chair-height, compact elongated-bowl for maximum
comfort. The simple connectivity eliminates potential installation
challenges, while the sleek styling complements a wide variety of

that is ideal for smaller spaces, and the skirted design neatly hides
unsightly pipes and other connectors. The Malibu II is one of the few
back-outlet toilets on the market to offer a high-performance, quiet
gravity flush with a certified 1000g MaP score - using only 1.28 gallons
of water per flush. It has earned an EPA WaterSense designation as a
high-efficiency toilet, with an oversized 3" flush valve and optimized
rim jets for an exceptionally clean bowl. Crafted of vitreous china with
a MicroGlaze™ coating for easy cleaning, the Malibu II includes a
number of thoughtful touches, such as a soft-close and quick-release
seat and cover. The unit is available in white and includes a polished
chrome solid metal trip level. Other metallic finishes available are

DXV
annually invites four individual designers or small teams of designers
with DXV panel memberships to unveil luxury bathrooms using its products
at the DXV Design Summit. Wilson Kelsey Design was one
of the selected panelists, bringing Artaic on board to offer its
expertise in mosaics for all tile work. With a directive to create a
space inspired by an art movement from 1875 - 1915, firm co-founders
Sally Wilson and John Kelsey looked to the Impressionism art movement
and French painter Monet to influence their abstract and luxurious
bathroom. The design duo aimed to celebrate Monet's Lily Pad series
using the architecture of the classic period, modern aesthetics, and
technology through fixtures, lighting and materials. The result is a
stunning vignette, marrying classic and modern aesthetics to achieve the
ultimate in luxury, which was unveiled at the DXV 2018 Design Panel
Reveal Event in New York City at the Agora Gallery on September 12th.
Along with the unveiling at the DXV Design Summit, the final designs
will be published in DECADEFIFTEEN Inspired Resources magazine and will be used in the national ad campaign for DXV, appearing in Architectural Digest, Veranda, Elle Decor, Traditional Home, and House Beautiful magazines.
Duravit's successful Architec Collection
celebrates 25 years on the market! From Architec's innovative washbasin
to its new panel tub, the collection's distinct, clean lines and wide
range of sizes and configurations make Architec a truly enduring design.
An architect's design relies on the fundamental elements of the circle
and the square. Architec applies this philosophy to the bath, with a
history of providing feasible solutions for all possible floor plans.
The Architec washbasin provides additional comfort in barrier-free
bathrooms due to its round, integrated, ergonomic grip. Because it
allows various combination options using wood or glass, the classic
Architec design has caught the attention of projects such as the
residential complex "Reflections at Keppel Bay" in Singapore or the
Harpa Concert Hall in Iceland. Additionally, the Architec panel tub was
recently developed specifically for the North American market. A modern
approach to the standard alcove bathtub, Architec is compact, sleek, and
easy-to-clean - making it the ideal option for small spaces. The tub
also has adjustable feet, and its leveling foot support system removes
the need for an additional bedding compound, cutting out a
time-consuming installation factor.
Inspired by professional kitchen design, the Britt™ commercial faucet from Kraus USA
makes a striking style statement, with the functionality to match, and
features a flexible, commercial-style open coil spring spout with
stainless steel hose and secure docking arm. A heavy-duty open coil
spout swivels 360 for a full range of motion in and around the sink,
while the gooseneck design offers ample height for filling and cleaning
your largest pots and tallest pitchers. The dual function sprayhead with
large non-slip rubber button switch allows the user to easily shift
between 2 functions, with an aerated stream for everyday cleaning, and a
powerful spray for heavy-duty rinsing. Soft rubber nozzles make the
sprayhead easy to clean and maintain a lasting powerful flow. Available
in all-Brite™ Spot Free Stainless Steel finish, which helps prevent
fingerprints and requires less cleaning.
