The limited edition Vettis™ Concrete Single-Handle Faucet is an unprecedented masterpiece, innovative in both design and material. The faucet is inspired by the strength of nature, reinterpreting the aesthetic of a waterfall using natural elements and presenting the distinctive sound of water, grounded in the beauty of concrete.
Embracing an existing material in a truly innovative way, the faucet blends the finest quality of raw materials and an exquisite geometric form to create architectonic harmony. Meanwhile the sui generis nature of hand-poured concrete gives each faucet a distinct texture, color and style.
To achieve this first-of-its-kind feat of design, engineering and craftsmanship, the Brizo team worked with expert sculptor Christopher Shannon, who meticulously handcrafts each faucet in his small British Columbia studio, executing this pioneering use of concrete with a sophisticated methodology, developed and tested by the brand over four years.
Embedded fibers fortify the sculpted form from every dimension, while ultra-high-performance concrete provides fluidity and strength to create stunning angles.
