KALLISTA® Unveils New Widespread Faucet to its Timeless For Town Collection by Michael S Smith
KOHLER, Wis. (PRWEB) August 24, 2017 -- The Michael S Smith For Town Collection is one of the four collections Smith has designed exclusively for KALLISTA. With a relationship that has spanned almost two decades, Smith continues to bring to KALLISTA his remarkable talent to see the world through an imaginative lens and weaves what stirs his senses into his much heralded and often published interiors. Smith gained his inspiration for the For Town collection from the fashionable elegance and refined character of 1930s Park Avenue apartments. Evoking the spirit of vintage bathrooms, this collection mixes classicism with familiar form to accentuate the collection’s traditional roots.
The new For Town Widespread Sink Faucet is a chic alternative to standard faucets both through its design and engineering and reflects the architectural elements found throughout the collection. A commanding silhouette, the For Town Widespread Faucet has a sweeping arched neck that is faceted to pick up and reflect light. The neck flares out as it carries down the length of the faucet neck before terminating to a stepped base. The faucet also features a grander deck-to-aerator design creating more functional space under the faucet spout to speak to its global audience where this is aesthetically preferred and features a discrete lift knob to open and close the drain. For Town Wide Spread Sink Faucet is currently offered in KALLISTA Polished Chrome, Nickel Silver and Brushed Nickel living finishes.
The new Widespread Sink Faucet joins the For Town complete bathroom experience. Included within the portfolio is a pedestal sink, console table, medicine cabinet, mirror, and sconce, whirlpool tub, two-piece high efficiency toilet and colored toilet seat with choice of trim, bath faucet with hand shower in choice of cross or lever handles, deck-mount, sink and single control lavatory faucets, semi-precious stones and French crystal cross handles, hand showers, body sprays, raindome, showerheads, fittings and trims, and accessories. Smith also designed For Town KALLISTA kitchen products including a kitchen sink in White Carrara or Bleu de Chine marble, sink faucet with choice of cross or lever handles and complementing sidespray.
