(Huntington Beach, CA, March 19, 2024) Beautiful Kitchens & Baths magazine has recognized California Faucets La Spezia faucet as one of The 30 Most Innovative Kitchen and Bath Products of 2024. Selected by the magazine’s editors, the Most Innovative Products list distinguishes the year’s “most impressive” kitchen and bath products embodying “high style, cutting-edge technology, and a little something extra.”

According to the magazine, published by Dotdash Meredith alongside influential publications including Better Homes & Gardens, Traditional Home, and Real Simple, the new-to-the-scene products are the next biggest thing in kitchen and bath design. With a striking contemporary cantilever and a unique squeeze handle design, La Spezia is a standout among fellow honorees that include a soaking tub, a smart cooktop, smokers, and modular outdoor cabinetry.

The La Spezia pull-down kitchen faucet brings a semi-professional feel to luxury kitchens, with its squeeze handle sprayer elegantly integrated into the spout for ease of use without subtracting from the crisp, modern design.

“A sleek silhouette and cantilever handle give the fixture a contemporary look,” Beautiful Kitchens & Baths editors said, “while dual-function (aerated or spray-by-squeezing) jets and an easy pulldown spout ensure it’s hardworking.”

The faucet’s spray head is insulated to protect against scalding. It has a proprietary docking system to keep it in place and a quiet polymer-braided hose with rotating joint for smooth and non-binding use.

“From its clean aesthetic to pro-level performance, La Spezia brings that little something special to homeowners and designers alike,” says California Faucets Chief Marketing Officer, Noah Taft. “We are truly honored to be recognized by the editors at Beautiful Kitchens & Baths and the publisher of the most eminent titles in the home and design category.”

Another notable feature that designers love, La Spezia offers a complete collection of accessories. Perfectly coordinated bar faucets, pot fillers, soap dispenser, hot- and cold-water faucets, appliance pulls, cabinet pulls, and knobs echo the faucet’s sleek and minimal silhouette, infusing a sense of modern luxury throughout the entire kitchen.

La Spezia is made of solid brass and has a ceramic disc cartridge. It measures 18-3/4” tall, with a 9-5/16” spout center to center. More than 25 artisan finishes are available, including PVD finishes that are guaranteed not to tarnish.

Huntington Beach, CA, February 13, 2024) California Faucets’ groundbreaking ZeroDrain^® comes in more than 25 artisan finishes, ensuring there’s a ZeroDrain to coordinate with any lavatory or tub faucet. Not only does the nearly-impossible-to-clog drain offer a cleaner look, quicker installation, and easier maintenance, it’s also easy to coordinate with any style of décor, creating a sleeker, more design-forward look in the bath.

The abundant finish choices—plus California Faucets’ wide array of accessories— means that designers and homeowners can coordinate ZeroDrain with faucets, tub fillers, showers, cabinet knobs and pulls, towel hooks, paper holders, and more. The vast list of color options also means you can easily coordinate ZeroDrain with faucets from other manufacturers.

“We offer ZeroDrain in every finish so that every household can experience the cool little drain’s innovation in style,” says California Faucets Chief Marketing Officer, Noah Taft. “Just like your smartphone, once you have it, you can’t live without it,” Taft adds.

ZeroDrain is an award-winning drain for good reason. Among the many accolades, it’s been honored with Interior Design Magazine’s “Best of Year” Award and named to Better Homes and Gardens’ Most Innovative Products list.) Less cumbersome than old-school drains with unsightly protruding stoppers, ZeroDrain features a cleaner, more design-friendly “zero clearance” look. In its open position, ZeroDrain’s stopper sits flush with the sink. Simply push down on the “pop down” stopper to close the drain and push it again to open. The stopper can be easily pulled out to swiftly rinse off the gunk that may accumulate over time and cause clogs. Easy, occasional cleaning means less build-up. And less build up means fewer plumber calls, saving both time and money. ZeroDrain has way fewer parts than standard sink and tub drains, so it’s also vastly easier to install.

Made of solid high-quality brass, ZeroDrain works with most sinks and tubs (both drop-in and freestanding) with or without overflow holes. ZeroDrain starts at $204 and $142 for tub and sink designs, respectively, in Polished Chrome.
