Colonial Bronze Empire Collection Named DPHA 2018 POTY Winner in the Hardware Category

The 2018 DPHA Annual Conference and Product Showcase was held last week in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, and we are happy to tell those of you who were not able to join us this year that the Plumbing POTY (Product of the Year) in the Hardware category was the -

Colonial Bronze Empire Collection

 

The Empire Collection responds to the ubiquitous simplicity of the contemporary hardware that currently dominates hardware fashion. Contemporary hardware is popular because it is clean and has simple lines. However, it is sometimes so devoid of design that it risks becoming mind-numbingly bland. The Empire Collection keeps the simplicity of contemporary, but adds a subtle element of detail that makes the design more visually interesting and aesthetically satisfying. The final touch that makes the Empire Collection is the radius back of the handles, which provide a pleasant ergonomic feel without compromising the clean look of its rectangular lines. 

 

The Empire Collection has been certified to contain 94% pre-consumer recycled material
by SCS Global, a third party auditor of environmental recycled content claims. 

 

Honorable Mentions:

• Lisa Jarvis Double Snake Pull
• Turnstyle Designs Edge Wing Scroll
