In both look and operation, modern faucets for your kitchen and bathroom are unlike anything that has come before them. Pfister recently unveiled its new design-forward collections featuring the new Rhen, Gattinara and Vitrina bath collections, cutting-edge showerhead technologies and brand-new finish options.
"We pride ourselves in continually elevating the bar for water fixtures with beautiful, standout product collections that make a true statement in the customer’s home," says Adam Findlay, Group Marketing Manager for Pfister Canada, Spectrum Brands, Inc. – Hardware and Home Improvement Division. "The stunning Rhen collection exudes grace and elegance as it imitates the movement of fabric, while Gattinara offers a bold, modern aesthetic and Vitrina echoes seagulls in flight. Each of these uniquely inspired designs embodies a personality all its own."
The Rhen Collection is Pfister’s newest bath product. Set to launch in fall 2018, it is inspired by the graceful movement of fabric and the alluring curves of an hourglass. Among the more than 100 items in the collection is the unique peek-a-boo trough that was revealed at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS). This petite, seamless trough coyly gives the user a peek into the waterway. The collection includes faucets, bathing and showering products and bath accessories. Available in the summer of 2018, the new, extensive FORTIS Gattinara bath collection includes showering products, roman tubs and accessories designed from the concept of organic flowing water from the rocks one would find in the crisp, clean streams and lakes near the Italian Alps. The Gattinara is a new take on a trough faucet with the mechanism for the trough becoming central to the design of the faucet itself.
The FORTIS Vitrina collection, also releasing in the summer, is inspired by the flowing shape of seagulls in flight. The designer was inspired by these birds’ fluidity and the profiles of their wings to create a collection of shower products, tubs and accessories that feel like they could take flight in spite of their brass construction.
Pfister proudly introduced two, all-new showerhead technologies: ThermoForce™ and HydroFuse™. ThermoForce™ is a specially engineered system of four spray nozzles that heightens the showering experience by providing the perfect coverage, force and heat retention for water flow. ThermoForce™ expertly regulates water pressure to strike an optimal balance between water conservation and an invigorating, luxurious experience. HydroFuse™ creates a spectacular showcase of water with strategically placed directional nozzles that create a dramatic mesh-like spray pattern inspired by the architecture of London’s King’s Cross railway station. The collision breaks up the water streams into large drenching droplets that retain their soothing temperature longer and offer an increase in coverage.
Pfister’s showroom is further expanding its range of finishes with the addition of brushed gold and matte black finishes in a variety of its kitchen and bathroom collections.
