Brizo® Solna® Kitchen Collection Updated with Articulating Arm Design

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- First lauded by discerning designers and homeowners for its integrated, hidden pull-down wand, the Brizo^® Solna^® collection continues to expand with the articulating faucet, a culinary-driven innovation, available for shipment September 2015.

The articulating faucet expands upon the crisp, contemporary lines inspired by Scandinavian furniture with the timeless design and definitive functionality of an architect lamp. A clever twist to the classic pull-down architecture, the articulating faucet offers enhanced efficiency for both professional and home chefs.  

"The beauty of the articulating faucet is how well it directs water where you need it; it can be positioned at various heights and angles to help make tasks simple and is easy to maneuver," said Celine Garland, Brizo product designer. "The highly-functional form of the faucet is logical and instinctive, and highlights the sleek, tubular design of the Brizo Solna kitchen collection."

"Through our work with professional chefs and culinary enthusiasts, we understand how many varied tasks take place in and around the kitchen sink," said Sarah Schlifke, Brizo product manager. "The articulating faucet offers a much wider range of movement than traditional pull-downs without taking up more space."

When the 2-function spray wand is undocked, a user can freely move the wand to aim water in any direction in and around the sink. When docked, the wand stays securely in place with Brizo MagneDock^® Technology, a patented, state-of-the-art magnetic docking system which keeps the spray head perfectly aligned. This freedom of movement allows for enhanced use, streamlined functionality and endless possibilities.
