Here at Remodelista, we’re drawn to objects designed by architects. Whether it’s flatware, dinnerware, or large-scale sofas, bringing an exacting design to the things we interact with on a daily basis makes for a more pleasant experience. Proportions are perfected, ergonomics are considered, and materials are of the best quality. Here, we profile the best kitchen (and a few bath) faucets thoughtfully designed by architects.
