Q&A

with

What is your company's design
philosophy?

What are some of your recent product
launches (include design details)?
Briefly describe a product/innovation
you have introduced recently.

Just this October, we introduced two new
iconic bath fittings collections. Both collections
feature truly authentic design that builds on our
40 years of experience, transforming the bath
with scales and styles that are unfamiliar, yet
timeless and versatile.
In our new Dash collection you will find
pared-down shapes, soft curves and minimal
details. We also introduced a Regulator bath
collection. Inspired by the design of industrial
boiler room controls from the early 20th century,
it brings a rugged beauty to the bath.

We work with in-house designers and
prestigious collaborators across a range of
inspirations to create a product assortment that
meets the needs of our clients while continually
pushing the envelope.
Every detail is painstakingly considered.
Our focus on design translates into a world of
products that are unparalleled. We exhibit a
commitment to craftsmanship on every level,
from designing product to selecting the highest
quality materials to utilizing artisanal factories
with generations of experience.

What current trends are you seeing in
the industry? How are you responding
to industry trends?

Within the hospitality industry, we see a desire
for customization and one-of-a-kind pieces.
Special metal finishes are a big part of that;
living finishes, like our unlacquered brass,
copper & architectural bronze, are especially

popular. In addition, we have been interested
in darker metal finishes which inspired our
newest finish, Shadow-a durable blackenedgray. The goal is always to give the designers
and architects we work with a wide, evolving
range of timeless options that they can
personalize to achieve their vision.

What's one thing people would
be interested to learn about your
company?

I don't think people are as aware of the
exceptional properties around the world that
feature Waterworks, from five-star resorts to
the most exclusive urban condominiums and
boutique hotels. Our collaborators are a big
source of inspiration for us, they include some
of the most celebrated visionaries in design.
The whole Waterworks team gets excited to see
how they use our products in their work.

What differentiates your company
from its competitors?

We pride ourselves in being leaders in
authentic design, quality and engineering.
Our vast product offering of bath and kitchen
fittings, fixtures, surfaces, lighting, hardware
and other accessories is unmatched. This
enables us to provide a dedicated, complete
design destination for product and service.
Whatever a project needs, whether it's custom
capabilities across any of our product categories
(including unique metal finishes only available
to our hospitality and multi-unit clients)
or design modifications and mechanical
adaptions, the Waterworks team is your go-to
resource.
Our mission is to be a true design partner,
not a middleman, which is why going that
extra mile is important to us - from project
management, to product support, to site visits.
We want our service to be as exceptional as our
products. That's what sets us apart.
