Wood detailing adds a touch of warmth and texture, softening the edges of Descanso’s industrial chic design for both the kitchen and bath
(Huntington Beach, CA December 17, 2024) California Faucets expands customization options for the popular Descanso® Series with beautiful teak wood. Designed for both kitchens and baths, the solid brass Descanso series is recognized for its modern industrial aesthetic. Teak wood lends a bit of softness to the design while the warm wood tones and rich texture creates a stunning contrast with any of the company’s 25-plus artisan finishes. With a complete collection of matching accessories for the kitchen and bath, designers and homeowners can create a striking personalized environment that reflects one’s individual style.
“Teak it up a notch! With teak wood, Descanso’s ‘industrial chic’ look gets a touch of love from Mother Nature,” says California Faucets Chief Marketing Officer, Noah Taft. “Teak’s toasty brown hue enriches the kitchen or bath and pairs beautifully with any of our artisan finishes,” Taft says, pointing to the company’s new virtual tool, which enables designers and homeowners alike to see how Descanso looks in any of their top ten finishes. “It’s as simple as visiting CaliforniaFaucets.com, choosing your desired faucet, and clicking on your favorite finish.”
The introduction of teak wood further emphasizes California Faucets’ commitment to quality and craftsmanship while embracing the beauty of natural materials. Widely considered to be one of the most durable woods, teak is long-lasting and easy to care for. Teak is prized for its natural water resistance and ability to withstand decay and warping. Commonly used for boat decks and outdoor patio furniture, teak stands up to wet environments, making it a great option for use in the kitchen or bathroom.
Teak wood joins the array of options already offered for the Descanso Series. Lever handles in both kitchen and bath collections are available in a Smooth or Knurled finish, with Carbon Fiber and with the new Teak option. Descanso Bath Faucets, along with Bridge-style Kitchen Faucets and Pot Fillers, offer a choice of Lever or Cross Handle with optional teak accent. Teak details are also available for Shower and Tub components, Roman Tub Sets, Handshower Diverters, and Bidet Sets.
Made from high-quality solid brass, the Descanso Series offers a complete array of coordinating accessories to carry the look throughout the home. From shower controls and towel bars in the bath to soap dispensers and appliance pulls in the kitchen, Descanso helps designers create customized luxury throughout the home.
Pricing for the Descanso Series Kitchen Faucet with Squeeze or Button Sprayer begins at $1,665 for Polished Chrome finish. Pricing for the 8-inch Bath Faucet with Quad Spout begins at $901 for Polished Chrome finish.
