Bridge Faucets
Above: Working with the Perrin & Rowe’s Ionian Tap, kitchen design company deVOL makes a special finish: the deVOL Aged Brass ‘Ionian’ Tap with Crosshead Tops for £460 at deVOL. Read more about it in our post Found: The Perfectly Aged Brass Kitchen Faucet. and see it featured in the Edinburgh kitchen of Nina Plummer.
“Since its inception at the turn of the century, the traditional bridge faucet is unchanged,” writes Alexa. “With a muscular brass body that stands a few inches above the counter, the two-hole-mount bridge faucet is the first design to blend hot and cold water into a single spout.” See her favorites in this week’s 10 Easy Pieces post.
