While bezels are usually employed in design to provide a softer edge to a harsh corner, the examples we see in Kallista’s new Bezel collection, designed in partnership with Cristina Rubinetterie and the design team of Busetti Garuti Redaelli, offer strength in form and function. Adorned with stone and semiprecious details, this bathroom collection feels luxurious and refined. Created with a twice-sealed coating offering superior durability, the rounded square profile of these fixtures are as modern as they are timeless.
A stunning collection, Kallista heightens a surface we interact with every day – water taps – to an elevated experience. Semiprecious stone details are perfectly fit to tap heads, adding a layer of fine detail to the mundane. Inspired by Art Deco silhouettes where adornment from stone was common, Bezel will remain versatile and relevant in design even one hundred years later.
The Bezel collection includes Kallista’s first floor-mounted sink faucet as an option to pair with freestanding bathtubs to elevate your soaking experience. As with the rest of the Bezel fixtures, the single handle control is adorned with standard metallic finishes or a faceted stone, as if its a piece of jewelry for your bathroom. Kallista has also introduced the brand’s first stacked handle Thermostatic showering trim with two bezeled knobs for this collection, adding a special level of elegance to something we interact with daily.
The Bezel fixtures are available in six finish options, including two new Vibrant™ finishes – blush brass and brushed brass – with stone handle upgrades in Nero Marquina, White Carrara, and serpentine green Guatemala Stone. The sky is the limit, adding the beauty of stone or other fine materials to the sink or shower.
Ezio Cristina founded Cristina Rubinetterie in 1949, bringing a standard of quality and luxury to an up-and-coming market. Post-war economic expansion led to the appreciation of Italian design internationally, one of the first to adopt the thermostatic mixer in 1968. Throughout the decades, Cristina Rubinetterie has created an indelible image of timelessness and modernism, preserving classic silhouettes in innovative materials.
Kallista continues a legacy of luxury bathroom and kitchen fixtures, superior style, and functionality at the core of their portfolio. For over forty years, their commitment to retaining the best materials and processes has helped them create a reputation for quality, only working with top-notch suppliers to keep their standards at a level we would expect from the brand, gracing fine interiors across the globe.
