Introducing the new Perrin & Rowe Georgian Single Lever Basin Mixer

Bathroom-Review-Perrin-Rowe-3770-Georgian-Single-Lever-Mixer

Perrin & Rowe is famous for its traditional English brassware, which is handcast to the highest quality.  Its Traditional and Georgian ranges represent the definitive modern versions of early 20th-century designs.  Perrin & Rowe’s new Georgian Single Lever Basin Mixer completes its Georgian collection.

Nigel Palmer, head of communications marketing for House of Rohl says, “The early part of the 20th century was the golden age of travel. Luxury liners, pan-continental train travel and extravagant motor cars took the rich to the finest hotels.  As today, the designs and ideas that impressed them were imported into the home.  Bathrooms became large, indulgent spaces for cast-iron, clawed fret baths filled with steaming hot water from gleaming chrome taps.  Bathroom brassware was on display, so it became more ornate.  Perrin & Rowe’s Georgian collection reflects this period.  Single lever basin mixers are a relatively recent innovation and wouldn’t have been part of a bathroom 100 years ago, but the simplicity and functionality of the form makes it an essential option for today”.

The new Perrin & Rowe Georgian Single Lever Basin Mixer had to reflect the design motifs of the collection but offer the smooth-working benefits of a modern mixer.  By placing the lever on top of the body, the symmetry of the tap is preserved, and the porcelain Perrin & Rowe indice is given pride of place.  The country-style spout has a generous 140mm overhang for easy installation either behind or to the side of an undermounted basin.  It can be neatly accessorised with a Georgian wall-mounted soap dispenser.

Perrin & Rowe 3770 Georgian Single Lever Mixer in Satin Brass – One of Seven Available Finishes. 

The new Perrin & Rowe Georgian Single Lever Basin Mixer is available in Chrome Nickel, Pewter, English Bronze, and 24-carat plated gold, as well as ‘living finishes’ Polished Brass and Satin Brass, which will take on a unique patina over time.  Every Perrin & Rowe tap is handcrafted in the UK in small patches to achieve the best possible quality, and each one is water-tested before final cleaning and packing. Perrin & Rowe can provide spares for almost every tap it has ever made to last for years without replacement – making it a more sustainable choice.

The Georgian Single Lever Basin Mixer was shown for the first time at Salone del Mobile and will be available from Summer 2024.

Three new tap collections from Duravit: Wave, Circle, Manhattan

Bathroom Reveiw Duravit circle

The three new tap collections from Duravit – Wave, Circle, and Manhattan – offer new Bronze or Polished Gold finishes at an attractive price point.

This wider range provides added value to architects and developers with sustainable features such as FreshStart, MinusFlow, and EasyClean. Duravit’s Best Match, a proprietary configurator, helps users select the best combination of tap and ceramic for each bathroom.

Functionality and sustainability
The washbasin taps are available in sizes S and M and include energy and water-saving features such as MinusFlow (flow limited to 40% = 3.5 l/min) and FreshStart. With FreshStar, cold water flows at the start and hot water is only added when the user deliberately moves the handle to the left. These systems limit the energy-intensive production of hot water.

The thermostat taps have HeatLock scald protection, and all the washbasin taps feature an EasyClean aerator, where dirt and limescale can be rubbed off the silicone nozzle with a finger. The new tap collection comes with a five-year guarantee and a 15-year availability guarantee for spare parts.

Faucet applications for the whole bathroom

The washbasin mixers are offered in three different spout heights (S, M, and Highrise) with variants such as concealed mixer, three-hole tap, and pillar tap.

Wave, Circle and Manhattan also provide solutions for any installation scenario in other bathroom areas, such as the bidet, shower and bathtub.

Users can choose between single-lever mixers, thermostat taps, and surface-mounted and flush-mounted solutions for the shower area and bathtub.

The Wave and Circle ranges feature a rim-mounted tap fitting, and the shower systems come with showerheads and height-adjustable hand showers, offering practical solutions for retrofitting.

The Duravit BlueBox® is a universal installation system for various tap designs (lever mixers or thermostats) and can be used for concealed installation. This allows the design decision to be taken even after installing the primary set.

Wave – gently dynamic

Wave (pictured above) is contemporary and youthful with a slim, cylindrical base. It is available in Chrome, Matt Black, and three additional scratch-resistant and durable PVD surfaces – Brushed Stainless Steel, Brushed Bronze, and Polished Gold.

Starck T accessories and matching accessories from the whole portfolio complement the range. Showerheads, outlet fittings, furniture handles, actuator plates, and siphons are also perfectly coordinated with the tap finishes. For the first time, Duravit can offer an entire colour-coordinated bathroom fit-out with no compromises.

Circle – simplicity all round

Bathroom Reveiw Duravit circle

Circle (pictured left) is a minimalistic design for modern bathroom ranges. The Circle range is available in Chrome and creates a harmonious overall picture when combined with accessories from the D-Code series.

Manhattan – precise edges

Pictured top – the cube is the defining design element of the Manhattan range and is available in Chrome and Matt Black. The Karree accessories series is a suitable accompaniment to this range.
