The new Savina collection of bathroom faucets from JADO represent the latest trends in faucet styling and performance, along with environmentally-aware water efficiency. Based on 19th-century designs, the Savina offering is suitable for historically informed restoration projects. There is even a true freestanding tub filler for a grand Old World look. Models include pillar taps and widespread faucets, with two-handle, cross-handle, and lever-handle options available. Handles are capped with porcelain.
Available in a wide range of durable signature finishes, the Savina line coordinates with other JADO Luxury Bath Collection offerings. All models are water efficient with a maximum flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm), and incorporate the new, exclusive JADO Luxury SpeedConnect®drain, an innovative technology that radically simplifies installation. In addition, the SpeedConnect drain plunger features a large European-style cap that covers the flange of the drain.

Mr. Steam has announced that senior vice president Michael Pinkus has succeeded Charles Monteverdi as president, responsible for all company operations, including its Mr. Steam and Sussman Electric Boilers divisions. Pinkus received his degree in Industrial Design from Syracuse University and was contracted by Sussman-Automatic in the early 1990s to develop its first series of towel warmers.
Describing his economic outlook as “optimistic, but subdued,” Pinkus anticipates a mild rebound in 2011 in the markets Mr. Steam targets. He cites three specific factors that bode well for Mr. Steam: environmental concerns, the downsizing of homes, and accessible design within those smaller spaces.
