Montreal, Canada
For the 35th anniversary of Maison Marie Saint Pierre and BARIL joined in a collaboration and created the MARIE Collection wanting to bring beauty, functionality, and well-being to everyday life.
The two leading Quebec brands: one a luxury house, and the other a high-end faucet manufacturer, share a passion for quality and unique design, pushing the boundaries of creativity in faucets and water accessories.
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.
The MARIE collection evokes a geodesic shape found in nature that stimulates the imagination through its purity.
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.
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.
