UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Historically, plastic has been used in cheap and low aesthetic quality products in the Latin American market. Cascade appeals to a superior design which elevates the current aesthetic and functional standards of the market with an affordable lead-free range of products.

The accessories are designed from a modular set-up principle and every product share the same base. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Water consumption complies with international standards, allowing the products to be eco-friendly.
