The Castle that Built a Faucet

New & Notable: Fantini, La Cornue and Aquatunes by Grohe

This month, we're excited to launch our new regular blog feature, Three To Know. Every month we'll bring you a brief roundup of three of our favorite products or manufacturers, new designs, and anything newsy and fun that we think you'd like to know. Along with our larger product highlight posts, it's a great way for us to delve into and share the incredible variety of items you can find in our showrooms.

The Art of Gessi

Since 1992, Italian firm Gessi has been producing some of the most elegant bathroom fittings and furnishings on the market. What began as a small workshop grew dramatically within its first year, quickly becoming one of the country’s largest manufacturers of artfully crafted faucets, sinks, tubs, showers and accessories.

JEE-O: Award-Winning Dutch Design

Next month, all eyes will be on JEE-O as the Dutch manufacturer of tubs, sinks, faucets and showers takes home the 2016 German Design Award (Bath and Wellness category) for its Soho O1 freestanding shower design.

Better by Design

Collaboration is often the surest way to success—our founders Lou Snyder and Walt Diamond are a great example of the power of two. Partnerships bring forth new ideas, and in the case of designer-manufacturer relationships in the kitchen and bath world, you, the consumer, are the direct beneficiary. Lucky you!
