GRAFF ’S New Vintage Collection Available in Array of Stunning Finishes ® GRAFF®, manufacturer of contemporary precision-engineered kitchen and bath products, presents its latest collection – Vintage - in the Brushed Nickel finish. The collection emulates the best of the industrial design paradigm, perfectly suited to outfit metropolitan environments known for their loft style. The Vintage Collection draws inspiration from the design of classic fire hose nozzles, pairing a modern spout with bold handles. Each element, from the rounded brim at the spout’s top to the undulating handles complete with carefully designed cut outs, resembles the traditional forms of the fire house featured in the historic Chicago Fire Department logo. The Vintage Collection enriches bathroom suites through its elevated design. GRAFF’s G+Design Studio honed-in on the collection’s handle design to create a beautiful, practical, and ergonomic solution that facilitates easy use. The collection offers a choice of circular or linear lever handles (with a knurled accent for added allure) for deck-mounted, wall-mounted or freestanding installations. The two-hole and single-lever faucets feature an internal progressive cartridge that makes it possible to regulate water temperature while maintaining constant pressure. This system reduces hot water waste as a result. The progressive cartridge offers the possibility for a cleaner and more engaging design: the traditional cap is not necessary for the rotation of the handle; the tap develops into a unique silhouette, without the conventional cut on the back of the body. 20 The Vintage Collection is offered in nineteen contemporary finishes: Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Steelnox® Satin Nickel, Unfinished Brass, Unfinished Brushed Brass, Architectural White, Architectural Black®, Matte Black, Onyx PVD, OR'osa PVD, Olive Bronze, Vintage Brushed Brass, Polished Brass PVD and Brushed Brass PVD, Gunmetal, Gunmetal Distressed, 24K Gold and 24K Brushed Gold. For this new series, the handles are available with a two-tone finish crafted with black accents: Chrome with Black, Polished Nickel with Black and the striking combination featuring Brushed Gold with Black. The special double finish Brushed Gold with Black inserts is also included in the catalog offering. For more information about GRAFF, visit www.graff-designs.com or www.facebook.com/grafffaucets
