Horus, a French manufacturer of luxury faucets for over 30 years, presents its vintage-style ZEPHYR range. A refined, timeless design, characteristic of the iconic Horus collections.
Zephyr is the result of a subtle blend of French elegance and long-line curves, directly inspired by the American Streamline artistic movement of the 1930s.
It was shortly before the Great Depression that the first productions or proposals of this movement appeared. The Chrysler Building, inaugurated in 1930, with its curved metal roof, is a prime example, even if this monument is more closely associated with the "Art Deco" movement, which was just beginning to wind down towards the end of the 1930s.
The "Art Déco" period is at the origin of the Streamline movement, for it is from its demands for "Cartesian sobriety" that the Streamline emerged.
The Zephyr collection is a true tribute to this movement, the refinement and delicacy of each piece underlining the characteristic design of cars from this period.
Zephyr is available in chrome, bright nickel, matt nickel, ice white, satin brass, gunmetal and matt black.
