Brizo's Litze Named DPHA 2016 Dealers' Choice Award Winner

If you have read Connections over the past year, you may remember that the Awards Committee introduced the Dealers' Choice award last year with the intent of putting new products in front of the staffs of every DPHA dealer. Basically, this new award category works like this:

• Every product submitted last year for the 2016 Product of the Year was eligible to win the Dealer's Choice Award.
• Voting took place earlier this year from February 1st through March 15th, and details on how to vote were emailed to all DPHA members in our database and via Constant Contact on November 1st and January 2nd. Additionally, several articles appeared in our weekly eletter Connections with the voting details.
• All dealer showroom staff members who had a DPHA login were eligible to vote. There was one vote per person and no, this election was not rigged!

There were many votes cast for the various nominated products in 2016, and the winner was ...

Brizo's Litze Single-Handle Lavatory Faucet

Brizo enhanced a faucet's lever by adding a knurling design to a single-handle lavatory to increase functionality without sacrificing high design. Intricate details such as this separate the Litze Single-Handle Lavatory Faucet from others in the category. The Litze is available in a striking Brilliance Luxe Gold finish to make the faucet stand out in a room.

Thoughtful details such as three distinctive handle options, a beautiful in its simplicity bent tube spout, distinctive knurling and elegant teak wood accents exemplify the stunning, craftsmanship. Every design detail is deliberate while ensuring ease of use, from the intersection of geometry on the lever handle to the intricate knurling design. Teak wood accents, available on select models, create a stunning combination of man-made and natural materials. The Litze Single-Handle Lavatory Faucet is an iconic example of Bauhaus design.

Honorable Mention:

• NativeStone Concrete Farmhouse Quartet Kitchen Sink from Native Trails
• The Galley Dresser

Please don't forget that all products that are listed in the 2017 Product of the Year Guide will be eligible to receive the 2017 Dealers' Choice award. Voting will take place from November 1st through December 15th, and details on how to vote will be emailed to all DPHA members in our database and via Constant Contact on or about November 1st. This process will take only a few minutes, but it gives every dealer member a chance to be heard, with no gerrymandering involved.
