Drummonds has introduced the Hudson Collection, a new brassware range developed in collaboration with New York-based design studio Pembrooke & Ives. The collection brings together British manufacturing heritage and a contemporary American design sensibility, with a focus on proportion, materiality and longevity.
The partnership evolved over several years, beginning shortly after Drummonds established its New York showroom. Creative Director James Lentaigne and Pembrooke & Ives founder Andrew Sheinman found common ground in a shared interest in the physical and architectural qualities of plumbing – from weight and tactility to its role within interior space.
Named after the Hudson River, the collection references the city both brands now operate from, despite their British roots. Its design language balances precision with restraint: angular cross-head handles provide a defined, architectural expression, while lever options introduce a more understated alternative. Across the range, crisp geometry is softened by subtle curves, creating a sense of equilibrium and adaptability.
The cross-head handle is designed as a central feature, with a sculptural, almost monolithic quality that reflects Drummonds’ established approach to brassware. In contrast, the spout adopts a more fluid form, introducing a gentle curvature that offsets the collection’s sharper lines.
