With a unique banding detail that allows for split finishes, Doheny makes dynamic use of the octagon—a shape revered throughout history

Available in both round and square styles, the new larger size expands on the company’s already robust collection of ultra-thin rain showerheads

(Huntington Beach, CA, January 31, 2023) California Faucets unveils the Doheny^™ Series, one of two new bath faucets created in collaboration with award-winning interior and product designer Christopher Grubb. Characterized by its unique octagon shape, Doheny calls to mind the historical architecture of castles, monuments, and cathedrals, as well as more recent Art Deco and Mid-Century designs. A striking band detail around Doheny’s handle adds depth and texture while offering designers and homeowners the option of creating a split-finish look. But the freedom to customize doesn’t stop there. With 25-plus artisan finishes to choose from, the possible color combinations are endless.

“Memories of playing with building blocks as a child inspired Doheny,” says Grubb. “I’ve always been fascinated with bold shapes and as I’ve traveled the world, I’ve noticed how geometric forms like the octagon are found in notable architecture throughout history, right up to today,” Grubb adds, noting the octagon shape is highly valued in Feng Shui since it’s believed to balance energy and prosperity.

The Doheny Series features two distinctive handle designs. Both block and lever styles reflect octagonal shapes and allow for a mix of finish combinations, if desired. With more than 25 artisan finishes to choose from, including 15 PVD finishes that are guaranteed against tarnishing, the ways to customize this dynamic series are truly endless.

Beyond the faucet, the Doheny Series offers a complete array of coordinated accessories designed by Grubb. Matching handshowers, towel bars, hooks, paper holders, and cabinet knobs and pulls all make use of the octagon. Even the shower plate and volume controls are uniquely octagonal. Plus, like all California Faucets series, Doheny’s showers feature the cutting-edge StyleTherm shower system to ensure the most comfortable shower every time. All these elements give designers and homeowners the tools they need to create a cohesive architectural-inspired bath environment.

Like all California Faucets products, the Doheny Series is made of solid brass and hand-finished in California Faucets’ Huntington Beach factory. Pricing for the Doheny Collection starts at $1,479 for a bath faucet in Polished Chrome.

(Huntington Beach, CA, February 8, 2023) California Faucets announces the expansion of its popular Ultra-Thin Showerhead series with new 16-inch Contemporary options. The new showerheads are larger in diameter for a fuller more generous spray that envelopes you like rain. Exceptionally thin and presented in two shapes—a geometric square design or a more curvaceous round option—the larger showerheads satisfy users desire for style as well as a sumptuous spa-like shower, while bringing a sense of modern elegance to the bath.

“Whether you enjoy singing in the shower or singing in the rain, our new ultra-thin contemporary showerheads let you do both. The large, wider diameter fully covers you with the soothing, spa-like feel of rain for a luxuriously relaxing bath experience,” says Jeff Silverstein, California Faucets Chief Executive Officer, who notes that like all of their products, the new showerheads are made of solid brass so they’re durable and built-to-last.

The new 16-inch style joins an array of existing options including 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-inch sizes—all satisfying a desire for a sleeker, yet bolder look in today’s modern bath. Each size features self-cleaning rubber jets that make maintenance a breeze. Plus, combined with the recently introduced ultra-thin traditional style showerheads, there’s a thin, streamlined California Faucets showerhead for virtually every design need.

Even though the contemporary showerheads measure only 5/16 inch thick, they offer generous water flow for a rejuvenating rain shower experience. See for yourself with these videos by California Faucets of both the Ultra-Thin Round Contemporary Showerhead and Ultra-Thin Square Contemporary Showerhead.

Like all of the company’s Huntington Beach factory-finished products, the showerheads are available in a selection of 25-plus artisan finishes, including 15 PVD finishes with a lifetime warranty against tarnishing.

The new 16-inch SH-162 and SH-177 showerheads start at $1,059 in Polished Chrome.
