The Zuri Design Story

The Zuri Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet is a beautiful marriage of modern design elements with contemporary styling. Zuri’s modern flare comes from the use of two geometric elements — the triangle and the cylinder. Using modern sculpture and pop art as inspiration, we softened the geometric forms and seamlessly flowed them into each other to give Zuri it’s sculpted contemporary feel.

What is unique about Zuri?

If viewed from overhead, Zuri’s base is a triangle with rounded corners. The triangular design, a significant challenge for our industrial design team, is a first of it’s kind in faucet design. Originally conceived years ago, production technology at the time blocked Zuri from being crafted in the desired progressive triangle-to-round form. As manufacturing capabilities improved, Pfister revisited the original concept and Zuri was born.

Zuri boasts a triangular sprayhead, another first in faucet design. Our inspiration for this design feature comes from an unlikely source — the ends of the arms of comic book villain “Doctor Octopus” (Marvel), which are also triangular and look like faucet sprayheads! Zuri also sports a modern-styled ergonomic joystick handle–another first in Pfister’s faucet design. (We loved it so much, we subsequently designed another award-winning joystick faucet called Contempra.)

Zuri delivers impeccable design aesthetics and is an ideal faucet for fashionistas who like to express their style through fixtures and furnishings.

The Zuri Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet was a recipient of a 2013 ADEX Platinum AwardADEX (Awards for Design Excellence) is the leading and most prestigious awards program in the architecture and design industry.
