No doubt about it. Chrome and satin nickel continue to reign when it comes to faucet finishes. After all, not only are they easy on the wallet, they go with pretty much everything. Besides, what would you do with, say, one in red or blue?

That hasn’t prevented Zuchetti in—you guessed it—Italy to introduce some colorful options for the kitchen and bath. The occasion is the 10th year anniversary of Isy, a streamlined faucet that owes its ultra-sleek profile to a patented mixing system. Originally designed by Matteo Thun with Antonio Rodriguez, the faucet has been refreshed with new shapes and colors. The vibrant and kinda’ fun line includes a basin mixer (shown here in blue and in red),

a freestanding/floor-mounted basin mixer in chrome or white (shown),

and a floor-mounted tub filler with handshower in black

or madras red.

Before seeing this, I would have never entertained the idea of having a red faucet in my bathroom. But when set against that black-and-white octopus-themed wall tile, it’s kind of hot, no?
