New Bath Collection Features a Stylish Eco-PFriendly™ Faucet and an Industry-First Wall Mount Waterfall Trough Design

Chicago, Illinois (April 2008) -  Price Pfister®, a leading manufacturer of kitchen and bath fixtures and bath accessories, today introduced a fresh collection of modern-inspired lavatory fixtures that caters to the growing demand for stylized minimalist designs. The Kenzo™ collection’s sleek architecture and simplistic lines present a modern selection for urban developments and hospitality settings. It features a water-efficient waterfall trough faucet that will début with the entire Kenzo collection at The Kitchen/Bath Industry Show & Conference (K/BIS) in Chicago’s McCormick Place, April 11-13, booth No. S5470. 

“Price Pfister is known for its well-designed kitchen and bath fixtures, and we’re continuing that legacy by introducing the new Kenzo lavatory collection to meet the growing demand for modern-inspired products,” said Nick Kruse, director of Marketing, New Construction, Price Pfister. “Kenzo’s eye-catching style features a waterfall trough faucet that provides an eco-friendly solution by reducing water flow without compromising performance, and upholds the minimalist concept of functionality through simplicity. We’re thrilled to showcase Kenzo’s complete line of lavatory products that offer a fully coordinated look for any modern bathroom.”

The Water-Efficient Kenzo Faucet 

The Kenzo Collection features a unique waterfall trough faucet that exudes beauty and style. Its simplistic structure provides functionality and conserves water without any compromise to the flow experience. Delivering a flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm), the Kenzo faucet represents a notable improvement over the standard 2.2 gpm mandated by the Federal Energy Policy Act of 1992. The Eco-Pfriendly™ Kenzo trough faucet currently is being tested to meet the EPA’s WaterSense specification for high-efficiency lavatory faucets. This new water-efficient offering sustains Price Pfister’s efforts to provide beautiful, stylish and functional products for environmentally-conscious builders and consumers. 

Kenzo’s Coordinated Bathroom Suite of Products 

The Kenzo Collection offers matching Roman Tub products to further extend the line. The Kenzo Roman Tub Faucet is available in three- and four-hole configurations with an elegant matching hand shower. Kenzo’s tub-shower products are offered in the following combinations: tub and shower, shower only, and handshower. A three-way diverter system assumes that the Kenzo hand shower will deliver a remarkable shower experience. A universal bidet fitting option also is available to complete the Kenzo collection’s full line of lavatory products. 

The Kenzo Collection will launch this summer and will be available in chrome and satin nickel. The Kenzo faucet is featured at K/BIS in a variety of configurations including an innovative wall mount waterfall trough design, which is an industry first. Other configurations include: single control centerset, single control vessel, and eight-inch widespread. All fixtures come standard with ceramic disc valves and are covered by the Pforever Warranty®, which guarantees finish and function for the life of the product.
