New full bath suite effortlessly blends innovation with artistry INDIANAPOLIS – As the influential Bauhaus movement of the 1920s strove to rejuvenate design for everyday life, the new Litze™ (pronounced LEETS-zuh) Bath Collection by Brizo® was born from the desire to reunite creativity and manufacturing. The collection melds innovative engineering and artistry to strike a balance that is equally at home in clean, contemporary environments or raw industrial spaces. Thoughtful details such as three distinctive handle options, a simplistically beautiful bent tube spout, jointed wall mount shower arm and elegant teak wood accents exemplify the stunning craftsmanship. The Litze Bath Collection’s textural knurling detail lives up to its name, which means “braid” in German, inspired by the town of Worlitz, Germany – not far from the birthplace of the Bauhaus movement. “The starting point for this collection was simply to create a clean, modern design, but Litze turned out to be much more than that,” said Jordan Bahler, Brizo industrial designer. “Equal parts artisanal and raw in style, the collection delivers an unexpected edge by highlighting the elegant side of those concepts, making them feel new, modern and energized." Every design detail is deliberate while ensuring ease of use, from the intersection of geometry chosen for the lever handles to the slide bar handshower model available with and without a machined brass wheel that spins as the handshower is positioned. Teak wood accents, available on select models, create a stunning combination of manmade and natural materials. Like iconic Bauhaus designs, the Litze collection blends inspiration from fine arts and architecture. In addition to the faucet offerings, the full suite of products include: • Widespread lavatory available in two spout heights • Single-handle, single-hole deck mount and wall mount lavatory with or without knurling details • Single-handle, single-hole bidet faucet • Three and four-hole Roman tubs and single-handle freestanding tub filler • Non-diverter and diverter tub spouts • Pressure Balance valve only trim • TempAssure® Thermostatic Medium Flow custom shower trims • TempAssure® Thermostatic valve with integrated diverter trims • Sensori® High Flow custom shower trims HydraChoice™ Max Body Spray System • Multi-function showerhead with H2Okinetic® Technology • Pendant ceiling mount raincan showerhead with H2Okinetic® Technology • Hydrati® 2|1 Shower with H2Okinetic® Technology • Wall mount and slide bar handshower available with or without a machined brass wheel • Complete offering of accessories including drawer hardware The new integrated TempAssure® Thermostatic shower valve with diverter features volume, temperature and diverter control in the same unit, allowing for a consolidated custom shower design with a clean, streamlined look.
