About Formation 01 Bathroom Faucet
Formation 01 is a limited edition bathroom faucet. The design combines a sculptural form with advanced engineering and is made from Neolast, a composite material that allows unexpected texture and rich, saturated color. Striking angles and a bold Haptic Orange finish depart from traditional expectations for a faucet. A 3D printed internal waterway creates a sheet flow of water. An embossed cast iron escutcheon plate refers to a long history of material innovation. The faucet measures 300 mm in width, 207 mm in depth and 135 mm in height.
