Danze Product Catalog Taps Into What Makes Design Fun

Featuring a playground of more than 1,800 product choices ranging from traditional styling to sleek contemporary designs, Danze has released its 2008 product catalog of its extensive collections of kitchen and bath faucets, bath accessories and showerheads.

The manufacturer has also added a new powder room collection, which includes toilets, bidets, pedestal sinks, premium vanities, vessel sinks and matching mirrors.

The cover of the catalog features a built-to-scale dollhouse that incorporates miniature reproductions of Danza products as well as such high-end elements as miniature models of Emile-Jacque Ruhlmann sconces and a framed Karl Blossfeldt photograph on the wall.

“The catalog is reminiscent of the childhood wonder of make-believe and taps into what makes design fun,” says Clark Lamm, senior art director with GdB, which designed the publication.

“While flipping through its pages of extensive product information and beautiful photography, designers and home owners can play with different styles and imagine Danze products fitting into their décor,” Lamm said.

The Danze catalogs are currently available. To request one, click here (danze.com/literature).

Headquartered in Woodbridge, Ill., Danze is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Leading Suppliers of NAHB.
