DXV Fact Sheet

About DXV
As American Standard Brands entered its fifteenth decade of business, it proudly launched DXV, a flagship portfolio of luxury bath and kitchen products that celebrates the Company’s distinguished 140-plus-year heritage by re-imagining the most influential design movements during that time.

DXV fixtures and fittings do not merely reproduce styles from each era; rather, they are inspired by historically significant designs, reinterpreting them for today’s aesthetic and performance demands. 

Each of the DXV movements includes bath fixture suites and complementary faucet collections, as well as a portfolio of kitchen sinks and stylish faucets.

This upscale line encompasses the AT Series, a state-of-the-art smart toilet and bidet seat that perform as superbly as they look. 

DXV products are available exclusively through luxury showrooms across North America.

DXV Design Movements
DXV comprises a premium selection of meticulously crafted fixture and faucet collections curated into four broad movements:

• Classic, 1890 – 1920: A movement that saw opulence and modern technology converge. Design pushed beyond the boundaries of historicism and neoclassicism to become more fanciful and flowing, intricate and organic.
• Golden Era, 1920 – 1950: A new spirit of experimentation was evident in the decorative arts, while the rise of industrial design led to controlled contours, simplified geometries, and reduced ornamentation — a thoughtful, refined aesthetic that reflected a society on the move.
• Modern, 1950 – 1990: The power of the individual to reshape and reimagine the physical environment was affirmed through experimentation with materials and forms for design in which artful lines and flowing forms play against geometric structures.
• Contemporary, 1990 – Today: Undogmatic and eclectic, today’s continually evolving design aesthetic may combine minimalistic forms with rich texture, ornate detail with natural material-of-the-moment solutions that reflect the complexity of our changing world.

3D Printed Faucets
DXV transformed faucet design and engineering with the launch of the first residential faucets created with 3D printing. These stunning models are the first-ever collection of 3D printed metal faucets created using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), a revolutionary additive manufacturing process. While this technique has been used to create plastic prototypes for years, these are the first ready-for-market residential faucets printed in metal.

The faucets are printed using a computer-guided laser beam that fuses powdered metal into the desired shape with high heat and pressure. A solid metal block gradually arises out of the powder, and is then hand-finished to smooth any extraneous metal and reveal the design shape. In a revival of bespoke craftsmanship, the faucet is then hand-finished by artisans who give it a rich, fine patina and feel that mimics the texture found on antique silver pieces.

• Platinum A’ Design Award –  judging it to be in the top one percent of entries – for its functionality, performance, reliability, interaction and aesthetic beauty;
• Silver International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) from the Industrial Designer Society of America (IDSA);
• Finalist in the 2016 R&D 100 Awards, known as the “Oscars of Invention”, in the Process/Prototyping category;
• Gold award in Best of the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in the “Bath” category;
• Best of BDwest Product Design Award from Boutique Design.
