My Home, My Time2Design ~Brizo Venuto Faucet


My new BRIZO® VENUTO® KITCHEN FAUCET,
installed and I love it.



Venuto Kitchen faucet with SmartTouch Technology by Brizo

SmartTouch Technology enables home epicureans to simplify tasks and increase efficiency in the kitchen during food preparation and cleanup  “If hands are full or dirty, the flow of water can be started easily with the touch of a forearm or wrist anywhere on the faucet, helping to reduce the potential for cross-contamination.” said Laura Brooks, senior brand manager, Brizo. Cooking enthusiasts who are environmentally aware are more able to conserve water because they are less likely to leave the water running between tasks. 

In another update, all Venuto models with and without SmartTouch Technology now feature MagneDock magnetic docking technology, which utilizes a powerful magnet to securely lock the wand into the faucet spout. The intuitive MagneDock design makes the wand extremely easy to engage and disengage, and allows Venuto to maintain its sweeping, artful form and seamless appearance when the wand is not in use. 

The Venuto with SmartTouch kitchen and bar/prep models are available in Polished Chrome and Brilliance® Stainless.  Standard Venuto models are available in Polished Chrome, Brilliance Stainless, Brilliance Stainless with Soft Touch® and Matte Black with Soft Touch.
