Born from a collaboration between Canadian high-end faucet manufacturer BARIL and fashion designer Marie Saint Pierre, the MARIE kitchen faucet draws inspiration from the simple, sensory pleasure of cooking.

In the spirit of haute couture, the MARIE faucet is fully customizable. Each component can be specified in a selection of six finishes, allowing for refined, personalized combinations. Much like assembling a couture garment, users can compose a piece that reflects their own aesthetic vision. A range of installation options further enhances this bespoke approach.

A touch of light is added to the collection with the new Tangelo finish, a vibrant orange shade that evokes warmth and energy. The word tangelo refers to a hybrid fruit obtained by crossing a mandarin orange with a grapefruit (or sometimes a pomelo).

Sculptural in presence yet functional in purpose, the MARIE faucet is conceived as an object of design in its own right. Its elegant lines and materiality allow it to integrate seamlessly into a variety of interiors, from contemporary to classic.
