For those of us working in the southwest market the past has been filled with designing Tuscan style houses. We could design them in our sleep and many did them because they knew it was a style that others would appreciate when they sold their home. Now that people are remodeling and staying in their homes longer we are seeing a design change here in Arizona. Many clients are looking to create more unique styles and personal styles. One trend that has been getting great footing is that of Art Deco Revival!
Can I personally say that this is my favorite era of design and I still marvel when I go to New York and explore their skyscrapers that still are relevant with that design. Recently, many of our faucet manufacturers have brought us collections that fit perfectly in that style! Here are just a few that we love here at The Studio!

The Faucet on the left is from the California Faucets Art Deco collection. The black handle inserts and polished nickel make this faucet pop in a two tone way that truly is indicative of 1930's style faucetry in Europe. The faucet on the right is from Rohl's Michael Berman Collection, this truly took its design from the old Zephyr Train of 1934.
These two faucets we see as more Streamlined Moderne, which came immediately after Art Deco movement and was really a response to the Great Depression. It was about making things more simple and basic, yet still stylized. The Toto Aimes faucet on the left is quite stylish, but flat. The Water Decor Corales on the left is not as flat, but is machined from a solid piece of brass, which is unlike most products manufactured today that are all pieced together.
