Bathrooms showered in retro style
In a world of interiors seemingly dominated by clean lines and minimalist design the elegance and curves of the 50s and 60s is once again gathering a following.
One of Australasia’s leading bathroom brands, Kohler, is reporting keen interest in a design that embraces the grace and shape of an era known for its glamour and colour.
The Fairfax collection of showerheads, taps and mixers presents a timeless design that is rich in detail, providing a sense of individual style within any bathroom.
Basin taps come in either a single lever mixer or dual control three piece set with mixer spout and lever handles. Both models feature beautifully proportioned curved paddle-levers and are finished in corrosion and tarnish-resistant polished chrome. They carry a four-star WELS water conservation rating.
The rounded profile of the matching multifunction showerhead is classic in its dimensions while providing three distinct spray patterns ranging from an all-encompassing deluge through a therapeutic massage spray to a gentle, relaxing aerated spray. For convenience the spray face has the MasterClean™ finish which resists build-up of scale and also features rubberised nozzles that simply wipe clean.And for those who want to create a full-on ‘spa experience’ in their shower, Kohler’s WaterTile Body Sprays team particularly well with the Fairfax showerhead. Their flat profile, with a choice of 22 or 54 water nozzles, belies the fact they can be angled to direct the water exactly where it is required. Used in conjunction with the overhead shower the user experiences a completely drenching, therapeutic shower that melts any stresses and tensions of the day away.
Completing the range are the shower/bath mixers in two styles. Consumers can choose between a single lever mixer and a two piece assembly (lever control plus spout). Both mimic the vintage design aesthetics of the basin tapware.
All Kohler bathroom products, including the timeless Fairfax collection, are available exclusively from the Kohler Design Centre in Auckland and Mico Design stores throughout New Zealand and Tradelink and Mico Design stores in Australia.
