However, whatever your budget is, you should think about getting fixtures that not only fit your budget, but also look good in your environment. Brizo is all about great quality fixtures in a choice of styles that will take your kitchen or bath to the next level. They've even partnered with famed designer Jason Wu for a separate collection of Jason Wu signature fixtures. There's no better time to show off Brizo's Jason Wu collection than today while we're right in the middle of NYC's Fashion Week. As a designer, Jason Wu has always been driven by a curiosity to learn about construction, perfecting every detail and merging contrasting influences into his designs. The Jason Wu for Brizo collection combines sleek Scandinavian design and intricate Baroque detailing. A Matte Black finish brings a sense of elegance to the collection and is paired with cool Polished Chrome or soft Brushed Nickel on a number of accessory pieces to coordinate seamlessly into any space. Whether it's Brizo's Jason Wu collection or any other faucet, sink, tub or vanity, we urge you to think about

Brizo Wins Gold at KBIS 2015Articulating faucets are latest trend While articulating faucets are nothing new, Brizo's styling on their lineup of articulating faucet is unique. Brizo says that the style is reminiscent of the design of an architect lamp. The cable design also brings to mind the boom arm on a crane or even an old draw bridge.Importantly, the functionality of the pull-down swinging arm along with the docking and undocking spray arm is a clever and effective method of maneuvering a faucet around the kitchen sink. The KBIS judges thought so also as they awarded Brizo's new Articulating Faucet their top Gold winner for Best in Kitchens. In addition, the Solna Articulating Kitchen Faucet won a Metropolis Likes award for innovative design.Brizo always has an eye-catching and dramatic booth at KBIS and this year was no exception. The display of articulating faucets was one of the highlights of the booth. The new faucet design will be available in the Spring of 2015 in the clean, contemporary Solna collection of fixtures. Shown above, the Artesso style, inspired by the detailed mechanical workings of early 20th century metal-works, will debut in the Summer of 2015.
