Axor Bouroullec Collection
Pure white and fluid in its modularity, the extensive line of bath fittings and fixtures designed by Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec with Axor invites many interpretations. A juror favorite for plumbing, the component-based group has easily drillable basins that free up placement of the softly curved chrome faucets, integral shelf options—including an ingenious hybrid tap/shelf for lav, tub, or shower—and Corian-topped wood furniture. Sinks and shelves are mineral-cast resin, and the tub is acrylic.
“The Axor Bouroullec Collection is a product you can’t miss. Its flexibility, efficiency, and holistic approach make it an extraordinary piece.” Tomas Janka

With typical models spanning 12, Big Ass Fans has not been known for a minimalist approach to air movement—until now. The jury HVAC top pick, the 5 moso-bamboo ceiling fan (also available in a glass-infused matrix composite) was designed to maximize airflow in small commercial and residential spaces as effectively as its supersized counterparts. Plus, an innovative direct-current motor is said to be 80% more efficient and less susceptible to overheating and wear than similar alternating-current offerings. full caption
