Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Top-quality water accessories company BARIL Design in collaboration with founder and Fashion designer Marie Saint Pierre of Maison Marie Saint Pierre have launched a high-end faucet collection pushing the boundaries of creativity in faucets and water accessories, bringing beauty, functionality, and well-being to everyday life.
The MARIE collection evokes a geodesic shape found in nature that stimulates the imagination through its purity.
For its quality and unique design, the MARIE collection has been awarded a 2023 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
This pure form declined in different formats and finishes, as well as the flexibility of installation of the components, brings a notion of uniqueness that contributes to the reduction of visual noise and provides well-being and peace of mind.
The pure forms, the slightly faded coloring and the matte/glossy finishes allow this object to be positioned in a living space like a sculpture or an art object.
There is in this collection a desire to honor water, to give it a podium, referring to the fashion universe.
MARIE’s bespoke color palette can be adapted to each component of the collection, allowing designers and users to fully customize their faucets and easily integrate them into any project.
The components can also be installed with unprecedented flexibility in terms of layout.
The handles controlling water flow and temperature can be placed anywhere, whether for better ergonomics, visual intrigue, or both.
Made from solid brass with a thicker-than-average wall and using high-end parts such as a German-made ceramic disk cartridges, the MARIE faucets were designed to withstand time.
Assembled in Canada, the MARIE collection offers 3 ecological options for faucets (flow reduction down to 0.5 gpm, 1.0 gpm or 1.2 gpm) and 1 green option for showerheads (1.75 gpm) to help our consumers to get LEED certification for their project and reduce our overall water consumption.
