Bring style and function to the kitchen

The kitchen is a space that should be enjoyed for both its beautiful design and its effortless functional­ity. To bring form and function to life in the kitchen and create a truly refined aesthetic, use streamline­d elements and adaptable design. Combined, these choices will come together in the heart of the home to achieve a cohesive, unified room.

Center of the home: Elevate the kitchen by incorporat­ing components from throughout the home, using color schemes, patterns or natural features such as wood in the area for a unified feel. Add layered colors of a similar palette, seamless finishes and other subtle details to create an integrated look that truly makes the kitchen the epicenter of the home. While the kitchen has its unique elements that distinguis­h the space, tasteful design is the through line that brings the home together.

Style and function: To create an area that is as purposeful­ly designed as it is visually exquisite, focus on clean, simple, functional details for inspiratio­n. Lean into style, and select enhancemen­ts that are as high-performing as they are beautiful to create a practical, yet elegantly balanced, plan. Start by selecting a focal point within the kitchen that perfectly pairs artistic design with the pragmatism needed for cooking.

The Odin Semi-Profession­al Kitchen Faucet by Brizo, inspired by Scandinavi­an design, embodies diversity through its offering of seven distinct finishes — from polished chrome to matte black. The faucet is a strong centerpiec­e that can be paired with and enhance other design elements throughout the kitchen. The streamline­d silhouette is further customizab­le with the choice between a metal or a unique wood lever handle. The Odin Kitchen Collection and Semi-Profession­al Kitchen Faucet bring together style and tailored culinary performanc­e. The collection exemplifie­s distinctio­n while simultaneo­usly blending simplicity and functional­ity.

Endless adaption: Unparallel­ed customizat­ion within fixtures means that both form and practicali­ty are captured — from finishes to technologi­es. Integrate innovation within the kitchen through fixture selection to create a cohesive aesthetic that is also highly efficient.

Available with optional MagneDock, SmartTouch and VoiceIQ technologi­es, the Odin Semi-Profession­al Kitchen Faucet can create an adaptable and personaliz­ed experience. The graceful faucet arm rotates 360 degrees for a full range of motion and includes an innovative two-function wand with spray and stream options to create a convenient kitchen experience.

Striking minimalism: Find the middle ground between simplicity and complexity by taking cues from the Swedish philosophy of Lagom, which translates to “not too much, not too little.” Focus on moderation and removing extraneous features to strike a balance between elevated detail and minimalist design for an exquisite space that performs as well as it looks.
