Fan Fair

Fluid, part of Sustainable Solutions International, presents the Fan collection, one of eight bathroom lines composed of sinks, faucets and accessories. Inspired by fans from ancient Asian cultures, the faucet pictured here features a flat spout that creates a cascading flow of water. It also can be fitted with a low-flow aerator. The line is available at Standard Plumbing Supply Co., (480) 507-2150.
