BARIL Haute Couture Faucets Collection MARIE Named Best of the Best.

With its MARIE collection developed in collaboration with Maison Marie Saint Pierre, high-end faucet manufacturer BARIL is making a name for itself internationally. Launched last summer, the collection's creative and innovative design has attracted great attention in the industry and continues to win awards.

MARIE has just won a prestigious Red Dot: Best of the Best in the Product Design category.
