Designer Barbara Barry has made a habit of synthesizing elegance with contemporary panache, and this rare talent is certainly on display with her recent additions to the Counterpoint Collection for Kallista. Embracing the timeless quality of these faucets, vanities, and bath accessories, Kallista characterizes the collection as the epitome of 1930's style-"elegant and restrained, creating a relaxed yet sophisticated mood."

Counterpoint Features a Console Table, Basin Sets, and Shower Heads

All told, the collection is comprised of 36 pieces, including a stunning and stylish wall sconce, yet the piece de resistance is undoubtedly the marble vanity top, honed, in the sculptor's style, from a single piece.

This aesthetic coup de grace features a fully integrated backsplash, which lends the vanity an undeniable continuity. Vanity tops are available in two colors: Statuary White, a snow white marble veined in grey, and Crema Marfil, a rich cream with delicate, neutral veins.

Options for the range of 11 faucets and levers include lovely marble handles that match the vanity. For specifying information, contact Kallista: 1-888-4-kallista.

About the Manufacturer: If the name of fittings manufacturer Kallista seems to have a tinge of Greek about it, it should be no surprise. The company is known for tact and elegance, for walking that fine line between daring innovation and subtle expression of classical motifs, for "combining passion with a profound sense of aesthetic and functional efficiency."
