Brizo’s Virage  is worth a gawk just because it’s visually stunning. According to the collection’s designer, the bath faucets’ sensuously twisting design was inspired by wrought-iron work seen on a trip to Germany. The line takes its name from the French word for “twist” and went through a brief “Goth” phase before arriving at its current incarnation, which is dramatic, elegant and versatile. Although the faucets were shown in chrome, other finishes are available.
