In keeping with the trend of Champagne tones, Sonoma Forge once again transforms the humble and pragmatic into the artistic and functional with its Brushed Bronze Strap lavatory faucet collection. With handles and a spout evoking the look of a cylinder inserted into the yolk of a common U-bolt fastener, the Strap offers an industrial yet modern aesthetic. The juxtaposition of curves atop solid square bases amplifies the contemporary feel while the soft golden tones glow with warmth. As a bonus, these eye-catching faucets can be adapted to become hands-free. www.sonomaforge.com
