The Sussex designers create taps using rigorous methods that have been pioneered and refined again and again over the course of two decades. The six phases of the design and manufacturing process are conducted with the closest care and attention. Which is acutely expressed in the fact that the team has a Melbourne workshop, allowing them to carry out all the crafting and finessing on site.
As the only Australian tap maker with its own foundry, Sussex can melt and recycle precious brass shavings left over from daily machining operations. This sustainable practice has rightly earned the team praise and awards from the industry, but all that aside – the design of these taps is a thing to behold.
Scala
The Scala range is a true Australian icon, inspired by the easy-going nature of the Australian lifestyle. With clean, elegant lines and industrial cues, Scala reflects the essence of our contemporary surroundings.
Suba
The Suba collection celebrates contemporary Australia’s love affair with minimalist design. Inspired by the bold shapes of 20th century modernism, this collection brings a sense of strength and balance to any setting. Understatement can be powerful and Suba’s restrained subtlety creates a striking effect.
Circa
There is no purer geometric form than the circle. The Circa collection draws upon this elemental shape to deliver timeless design, crafted to perfection in Sussex’s Melbourne workshop. Elegant and brilliant, Circa is an inspired contemporary creation.
Calibre
Inspired by European artistic practices, the Calibre collection was born from an appreciation of architecture and urban design. The vision for its unique and innovative lines has been realised in a flawless union of form and function.
Monsoon
The Monsoon shower head seeks to capture the invigorating sensuality of an open-air bathroom in the tropics. Its rich cascade will elicit a tingling wave of pleasure as it washes over you. Yet crafted from the finest steel possible, the Monsoon has a reassuring solidness.
