Kohler

 

 

The new sok overflowing bath provides seating for two average-size adult bathers to sit deeply submerged in the slow-moving water. A continuous stream of water flows into the sok and over the infinity edge into the surrounding tub. Customize the experience by incorporating chromatherapy and bubbles.

Elkay

 

 

The Avado collection of undermount kitchen sinks feature square and rectangular bowl designs with "zero-radius" corners. Hand-fabricated from 16-gauge stainless steel with a satin finish, the underside is fully coated to dampen sound and prevent condensation. The collection includes single-, double- and triple-bowl designs. One model incorporates a beveled drainboard.

Moen

 

 

Lancelot, Moen's new undermount sink, is suitable for gourmet kitchen designs. The sinks are constructed from 16-gauge stainless steel and feature a 10-inch bowl with SoundShield, a sound-deadening undercoating. The Lancelot is available in polished satin and comes in four size configurations.

Brizo

 

 

Pascal, Brizo's culinary, touch control electronic faucet, can activate water flow by either tapping the faucet or using the hands-free option. While in hands-free mode, water will run continuously as long as there is something (hands or plate) in the water work space. Sensors determine when or if a part of the body touches the faucet. Water turns off by tapping or with a built-in, automatic time-out. Pascal features a pull-down spout for added convenience.

Danze

The Danze Parma Dual kitchen collection now includes a faucet with a single-handle on a low, side-mounted valve. A sensor allows the user to operate the faucet manually or in a hands-free mode. The faucet starts automatically when hands are placed close to the sensor and shuts off when hands are placed in front a second time and can be programmed to turn off automatically.

American Standard

 

 

American Standard's Lakeland kitchen workstation offers a removable second bowl and a bamboo cutting board as part of its accessories collection. Lakeland's large-capacity 33- by 22-inch single bowl fits into a standard double-bowl cutout. The removable second bowl has its own drain and instantly converts to a double-bowl sink. The board acts as a storage cover.

Price Pfister

The Ashfield Collection was inspired by the collaboration between Price Pfister and Kwikset. This vintage décor, single-control kitchen faucet features a country pump handle, matching side spray and soap pump. Available in a variety of finishes, including polished chrome, satin nickel, rustic pewter, rustic bronze and Tuscan bronze. Each finish carries a lifetime anti-tarnish warranty.
