Vettis Concrete, Brizo
Hancrafted in Victoria, British Columbia, by Canadian sculptor Christopher Shannon, this deck-mounted, single-hole bathroom faucet imparts an industrial touch to every bathroom. With a limited production run of 500 pieces, this sculptural faucet was cast in charcoal-tinted concrete reinforced with fiber and cured in Shannon’s studio, using a methodology that Brizo alleges was developed and tested over the span of four years. Each faucet measures 4.23″ tall and has a 6.25″ spout reach. brizo.com
