Then there’s the Cixx collection, pronounced “Six.” The distinctive design features the hammer marks of a blacksmith, evoking an image of hot metal being poured and forged.
The other sensor operated Sonoma Forge collection is the Strap lavatory. The fixture is designed with handles and a spout evoking the look of a cylinder inserted into the yolk of a U-bolt fastener.
“Interest in designs like the Waterfall Spout, Elbow Spout, CiXX and Strap really comes from the ongoing popularity of modern industrial style,” observes Ambjor. “Designers are embracing exposed plumbing elements, hand-hammered textures and bold, architectural forms. These pieces don’t try to hide their mechanical inspiration—they celebrate it. The result is something that feels authentic, tactile, and visually striking.”
Overall, Sonoma Forge has found a niche with high-end commercial and hospitality spaces seeking a rustic industrial look that’s intentional as opposed to mass produced. In combining the improved sensor technology with the metal crafted fixtures, the product lines are gaining even more appeal.
“Architects and designers don’t have to compromise between achieving a strong, sculptural look and offering modern touchless functionality. They can have both,” says Ambjor.
Customization is further enhancing this trend with distinctive finishes such as Rustic Copper or Satin Nickel, enabling designers to tailor faucets to complement a wide range of interiors—whether it's a warm, rustic spa retreat style to a sleek, contemporary minimalist space.
