INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspired by detailed, early 20^th century metal works, the Artesso™ suite is Brizo^® brand's newest kitchen collection. The collection, named for a variation of the Portuguese word for artisan, incorporates masculine, hand-forged design nuances with sophisticated aesthetics.

"We drew inspiration from iron-workings dating back to the early 1900s," said Sarah Schlifke, Brizo product marketing manager. "The industrial, yet refined, design will modernize any kitchen while offering a chic and functional focal point for the counter space."

The Artesso kitchen collection by Brizo is a full kitchen suite featuring a single-handle pull-down faucet, a two-handle bridge design, a sleek bar faucet and a matching soap dispenser. The single-handle pull-down faucet is available with optional Brizo SmartTouch^® Technology, allowing users the option to activate the flow of water with a simple touch anywhere on the spout, hub or handle. This unique functionality makes it easy to turn the faucet on only when needed, helping to reduce water usage, while enabling efficiency of motion during prep work and cleanup.

"The Artesso collection was inspired by everything from factories and forged metal to farming tools and inventions of the time," said Seth Fritz, Brizo product lead industrial designer. "We wanted this design to work in a contemporary kitchen or a traditional kitchen, living as a statement piece in both environments."

The full kitchen suite will be available September 2014 in the following finish options: Polished Chrome, Brilliance^® Stainless, Venetian Bronze^® and Brilliance^® Polished Nickel finishes.
