Grange Design, leading UK-based designers, manufacturers and specialist distributers for the bathroom industry celebrate the timeless qualities of Leonardo, a classic brassware collection known for its historically iconic design.
For the first time in a long while, the Leonardo Collection is once again available to buy in the UK via Grange Design’s brand-new online store at www.grangedesign.com. Born in the late 70s out of Milan, and imported in the early 80s, the Leonardo range has remained popular for the last five decades due to its quirky yet classic Italian design and heritage style proportions. Ever since, it has become a firm favourite amongst bathroom owners and installers who demand authentic products, which can withstand lasting style trends.
Clive Griffiths, Manager at Grange Design explains, “Leonardo remains an iconic design, in fact it’s so unique it could have easily been part of Biba’s take on Art Deco in the 70s, where inspirational designs were original not copied. So, we are delighted to make the Leonardo range available again so it can remain a cherished design icon in the classic bathroom.”
Testament to how versatile Leonardo really is, the collection from by Grange Design will complement classical, modern, Deco, traditional and even 70s-inspired bathroom interiors. So, what makes Leonardo a must-have brassware collection?
- Basin Mixers: Available deck or wall mounted, Leonardo taps are suitable for all plumbing systems and feature a fixed spout with pop-up waste included. Monobloc and 3-piece design options available.
- Bath/Shower Mixers: Classic deck mounted bath shower mixer with diverter for either spout or handset supplied (bath waste not included) Projection 155mm x Width 276mm x Height 336mm.
- Shower Valves: NEW Thermostatic shower valve with two outlets, and separate flow and temperature controls. Projection 167mm x Width 165mm x Height 243mm
- Solid brass construction: regarded as the best choice for bathroom taps, brass is renowned for its durability and longevity while adding an element of nostalgia for times gone by.
- Polished chrome finish: high shine, reflective surface which is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion so it will maintain a pristine appearance even in humid environments.
NEW in 2024, the Leonardo Two Outlet Thermostatic Concealed Shower Valve by Grange Design is both practical and beautiful, providing optimum water control whilst being sensitive to traditional bathroom environments. Designed to coordinate with the complete range of Leonardo brassware, this valve features an oval backplate, and authentic quarter-turn capstan handles with white Hot and Cold ceramic indices. Pair with either the 5”, 8” or 12” Classic watering can showerhead also from Grange Design, and enjoy an easy clean shower solution where all pipework is concealed behind the wall tiles.
Clive adds, “Past eras continue to appeal to UK homeowners and designers, and I believe this is down to our country’s diverse housing stock and passion for heritage interior design. As shower rooms continue to deliver in terms of function and footprint in the home, creating new solutions to adjust the flow between a hand-held and overhead shower is vital in today’s deluxe ensuite and family bathrooms.”
As suppliers of high quality, innovative brassware to UK and European retailers and the interior design community since 1999, Grange Design is thrilled to answer the continued demand for its timeless Leonardo Collection, which is available to buy direct and online.
