Jason Wu for Brizo Collection

Jason Wu Faucet by Brizo | KitchAnn Style

If you follow my Blog or read Home magazines you are probably aware of the partnership between Brizo Faucets and fashion designer Jason Wu.

The relationship began in 2006 and has culminated in a new Power Room Suite that merges the signature style of both brands. The Jason Wu for Brizo Collection reinforces the position of the Brizo brand as fashion forward and innovative, and it marks the debut of Jason Wu into the world of interior design.

The collection pairs an elegant Matte Black finish with Polished Chrome or soft Brushed Nickel. The fixtures and fittings are an intersting union of Scandinavian design and intricate Baroque enfluences.

Jason Wu wanted to create a complete powder room suite, a vision which led to the addition of several pieces not typically found in Brizo collections, including a wastebasket, free-standing soap pump, soap dish, and drawer knobs and pulls. The silhouette of a Baroque-inspired flower is subtly woven throughout the pieces.

The Odin facuet, the center of the collection, features a Jason Wu owl emblem on the tip of the handle. The handle also has a unique and unexpected rotating motion according to Brizo. The Odin faucet also incorporates SmartTouchPlus Technology, which allows users to start and stop the flow of water with a simple touch anywhere on the spout or handle.

But wait, there’s more! The Odin faucet has new temperature sensing indicator technology. An LED light display built into the base of the faucet uses shades of light, from blue to magenta to red, to indicate actual water temperature.

The SA0505 basin is manufactured from the company’s own blu.stone solid surface material in matte or gloss finish.

The compact 17 3/4″ x 32 5/8″ size makes it ideal for use in a powder room or built into a niche in a custom master bathroom.

Party Central

If the Kitchen is the room everyone gathers in at a party, the Amana Quick Tap™ Entertainment Refrigerator is appliance they are gathering around.

The Amana Quick Tap has an integrated beverage reservoir that conveniently holds and dispenses up to 2.5 liters of cold drinks from punch to margaritas. The reservoir is removable for easy refilling and cleaning. The dispenser is located on the refrigerator door.

The Amana Quick Tap is not a large appliance at only 17.6 cubic feet but it gives you the ability to offer a signature drink while entertaining without having to drag out a cooler. I think it is ideal for a guest/pool house or game/party room in your home.

The Quicktap is also equipped with a 5-bottle wine rack and a child lockout. It is not energy star rated. The Quick Tap refrigerator is available in red or silver for approximately $800.
