Dualis by Watermark Designs is a bath fittings collection that pairs simple forms with handle inlays in metal or one of three natural marbles — Carrara, Calacatta and Marrone. The material options allow designers to connect the fittings to stone and metal finishes used elsewhere in the bathroom while keeping the overall forms simple.
Carrara and Calacatta were chosen because they are among the marbles most often specified in high-end bathrooms. Their lighter, neutral coloring pairs easily with other white and gray stones, while Calacatta’s warmer veining also works with gold tones. Marrone, the darkest of the three options, includes brown and charcoal tones that coordinate with darker stones and finishes.
Each marble inlay is cut from natural stone, so veining and coloration vary from piece to piece. For all-metal configurations, the inlay can match the fitting finish or use a contrasting metal finish for a two-tone combination.
Function also shaped the collection. The faucet bodies are larger than many Watermark’s other designs, and the spouts extend further forward over the basin bringing the water stream farther into the sink. The assortment was kept deliberately small, covering the full bath without an excess of variations.
Dualis has three handle profiles that carry across basin, bath, bidet and shower fittings. The Clover Knob has a quatrefoil silhouette inspired by fine jewelry. The Linear Lever repeats the shape of the spout, while the smaller Linear Knob is used for thermostatic and diverter controls.
The collection includes one-hole and three-hole deck-mount lavatory faucets, a three-hole wall-mount lavatory set, a bidet faucet, a five-hole deck-mount bath set, a bath set with hand shower, a wall-mount bath spout, thermostatic and wall-mount shower trims, and a hand shower with wall elbow.
Dualis is crafted and customized in Watermark’s Brooklyn factory, where artisans, engineers and designers work together to bring each collection into production. Watermark combines precision machining with hands-on finishing so the metal and marble inlays sit cleanly within each form across the collection’s range of finishes.
