BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Watermark Designs, the leading manufacturer of decorative plumbing fixtures and bath accessories for more than 30 years announced that they have come to an agreement to market, produce and distribute the Chelsea faucet line previously distributed by Hastings Tile & Bath. The new collection is called Chelsea by Hastings Studio, as an homage to the original design conceived by Hastings Tile & Bath’s, Bob Gifford. Watermark Designs will continue to expand the collection.
“From its inception, when we were initially asked to manufacture Chelsea, we admired the design that Bob Gifford of Hastings Tile & Bath created. We jumped at the opportunity to come to an agreement to expand the distribution, marketing and presence of Chelsea in the marketplace. It will be a great addition to the Watermark family,” said Jody Rosenberg, president, sales and marketing, Watermark Designs.
The Chelsea faucet features an industry-defying tall, slender and curvaceous design. The spout stands an impressive 7 ½” high, and the handles are 4 ½”. Watermark Designs recently added cross-handles to the collection. Cast from lead-free brass and AB1953 approved, it was designed with a flush stream shaper aerator that tilts; allowing users to control the direction of the water. Available in multiple configurations and finishes and with a flow-rate of 1.5 gpm, Chelsea couldn’t be ‘greener.’ Available in any of Watermark Designs 38 finishes.
