			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those with an eye for a modern sensibility will appreciate<a href="http://www.vandabaths.com/usa/baths.php">Victoria + Albert’s</a> newest premium collection: The Edge. Making its global debut in January 2012, this British-inspired series pays homage to cubic design, blending classic shapes with the latest in edgy urban style. The Edge Collection features striking linear forms that contrast with softly contoured corners. The result is a clean, sophisticated look very much in keeping with the award-winning style that is the signature of the Victoria + Albert brand.Building on the success of the company’s compact IOS bath,</p>
<p><a href="http://www.vandabaths.com/usa/bath.php?b=edge">the Edge Collection </a> is designed to make smart use of limited space. The generous depth of the Edge Bath provides a deep, luxurious soaking experience, while its overall footprint consumes proportionally little floor space. Measuring 58-7/8” long by 31-5/8” wide and nearly 24” deep, the tub’s double ended design has plenty of room for two, while its clean profile creates an architectural centerpiece certain to add drama to any bathroom. Retail price for this newest addition to the Victoria + Albert line is $4,400. The Edge Bath is beautifully complemented by the Edge 45 Vessel Basin, the most compact basin Victoria + Albert has produced to date.</p>
<p>Specifically designed for his-and-hers double basin bathrooms as well as smaller cloakroom settings, this contemporary basin adds impeccable style with its rimless design and sleek silhouette. Where space allows, dual basins are a smart choice in terms of both style and practicality.In compact areas, a single Edge Vessel Basin has more than enough good looks to hold its own. Measuring 17-3/4” long and 12-5/8” wide, these basins are just 4-3/8” deep. Retail prices start at $790. The Edge Bath and Basin are crafted from of 100% ENGLISHCAST®, a naturally white material rich in volcanic limestone that is hand-finished by craftsmen and beautifully warm to the touch. This unique construction creates a glossy finish that won’t creak or flex, is highly durable and easy to clean. These are just a few of themany reasons to invest in a composite tub from Victoria + Albert.<a href="http://www.counter-cultures.com">Counter Cultures San Miguel de Allende</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The essence of Japan is captured in these Zeninspired masterpieces from TOTO. Pottery, known as Shigaraki-yaki, comes from Shigaraki Town and its surrounding area in the south and dates back to the 13th century. Originally used for larger items, the high-quality clay produced in the area proved very resilient, making it perfect for larger items like storage vessels and bowls for the home.</p>
<p>The unique coloring, which results from firing iron in the clay, leaves a mesmerizing natural glaze that contribute to the unique coloring of TOTO&amp;squot; s Waza Impression vessel lavatories. The lavatories&amp;squot; natural shapes and colors also help you bring the beauty of nature inside. Waza vessels are a healthy reminder in our hectic world that great design expresses a fluency and organic nature that can only be truly represented by natural materials.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Irvine, CA – Roaring fireplaces, sparkling crystal chandeliers and espresso machines are moving from the living room and kitchen to the bath. Affluent homeowners are transforming their bathrooms into luxurious, private sanctuaries using only the finest, most exclusive products.</p>
<p>In these elite spaces, cashmere towels hang from polished silver hooks, glass bottles of Clive Christian’s 1872 Perfume sit on marble countertops, and velvet Bottega Veneta slippers rest next to the gilded feet of a cast iron clawfoot tub. Rooms with such distinction deserve special products. ROHL’s exclusive Jörger Collection brings the opulence of a European palace into your home.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=294425217260124"><strong>Bathroom Fittings Fit For A Grand Duke</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>The namesake of the ROHL Jörger Collection, Bernhard Jörger, acted as master plumber to the court of the Grand Duke Friedrich II of Baden during the early 20th century. His eye for fine design and high quality craftwork landed him the job of maintaining the baths of the most luxurious castles and palaces in the region. An especially lavish palace, the Schloss Mannheim, a large, Baroque-style palace, housed the Grand Duke himself.</p>
<p>In 1965 the grandson of Bernhard, engineer Gerhard Jörger co-founded what is now Jörger – a company dedicated to providing handcrafted, luxury fixtures for the most special of places. Each piece is crafted using high grade, special alloy brass. Exclusive design, detailed finishing and technical perfection are hallmarks of this line.</p>

<p><strong>The Aphrodite Collection</strong></p>
<p><strong><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=294425217260124"><strong>The Aphrodite Collection</strong></a></strong></strong></p>
<p>Inspired by Ancient Greece, the Aphrodite Collection features elegantly crafted fixtures, faucets and accessories that highlight the most classic design – the Ionic Column, which represents strength and dignity.</p>
<p>The spout and handles of the Aphrodite C-spout 3-hole widespread lavatory faucet (607.30.300-2) are indicative of the columns found in the Coliseum in Rome, as well as the Erechtheion in Athens. The shape and detail on the Wall Mounted Soap Dish Holder (607.00.007) is reminiscent of the semi-circle sculptural decorative elements found on Greek temples.</p>
<p>In the Jörger Special Order Collection, the Aphrodite is enveloped in a beautiful gold plating with an additional process applied with silver ingredients that allow the product to turn completely bluish. The fixture is hand polished for superior sparkle that is sure to become the centerpiece of your bath.</p>

<p><strong>The Empire II Collection</strong></p>
<p>Much like a sleek European sports car, the Empire II Collection celebrates the elegance of simple, fluid design. Emphasis on geometric shapes gives this collection a modern edge. The Single Lever Single Hole Lavatory Faucet (628.10.833-2) is the definition of minimalist design, featuring only basic elements with limited flourish.</p>
<p>The 3-Hole Deck Mount Tub Filler (628.30.110) creates a pure, calming presence in the bath. The lack of ornamentation offers a visual expression of serenity, thus mentally preparing you for relaxation before even dipping a toe in the bath water.</p>
<p>Crystal handles add a dose of glamour to the Empire Royal 3-Hole Lavatory Faucet (600.30.300) in the Jörger Special Order Collection. The crystal prism handles compliment the sleekness of the curved faucet for a look that is as contemporary as it is chic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Designed in collaboration with designer Ivy Lin, California Faucets new SOLIMAR™ faucet offers a fresh new perspective in modernity. Characterized by strong, angular lines that are softened by gentle sweeping curves, SOLIMAR makes a distinctive, minimalist statement in the bath.</p>
<p>SOLIMAR’s bold, rectangular spout towers authoritatively over thematically coordinated, widespread handles. Unique, convex escutcheons of generous proportion provide a more aesthetically pleasing platform for handles and spout by bringing geometric contrast to the design. The combination of curves and minimalist straight lines make for an eclectically unifying effect that is subtle to the eye yet sets SOLIMAR apart from other designs in its category.</p>
<p>SOLIMAR lists for $719 in Polished Chrome, $971 in Special Finishes, and $1150 in Premium PVD finishes.<a href="http://counter-cultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/7002-SN-BEAUTY-Final.jpg" rel="lightbox[3306]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3307" title="7002-SN-BEAUTY-Final" src="http://counter-cultures.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/7002-SN-BEAUTY-Final.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="97" /></a>
