Jewelry-driven, Traditional Design Featured in Speakman's New 'Opera Collection'
Bathroom fixtures deliver performance that is both exceptional and timeless

NEW CASTLE, Del., Feb. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Speakman, the premier maker of high-performance shower heads and plumbing products for nearly 150 years, today announced the availability of its new brand of bathroom fixtures, known as 'The Opera Collection.'  The collection was designed by Roger Thomas, a six-time member of the AD100 list of leading designers published by Architectural Digest magazine and the Executive Vice President of Design for Wynn Design Development. Thomas' collections are known for their own 'genre' of having their luxurious, memorable and seductive style.

The Speakman-engineered fixtures showcase exceptional quality and beautiful engineering in a rich polished chrome finish. The range includes signature Speakman Anystream® technology performance with an 8-jet showerhead, solid-brass faucets and valve handles, and bath accessories such as towel bars and tissue holder. All faucet and valve operations are ADA-compliant.

"We believe our Opera Collection will hit all the right notes – pun intended – with customers. It combines an exquisite residential design by Mr. Thomas with the superior construction by Speakman which together deliver an unmatched performance," said Speakman CEO, Bob Knoll. "The performance from our 8-jet showerhead, for instance, is unmatched. This is a quality product that makes a profoundly elegant statement." Knoll also added that, for customers looking for a more traditional and jewelry-driven design, the Opera Collection is it.

The public will be able to see the Opera collection products first-hand at the HD Expo from May 3-5, 2017 in Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas. Much of the collection was first introduced in 2016 in collaboration with Nevada-based Wynn Resorts, to create custom bath fixtures for the Wynn Palace Cotai, a magnificent new $4.1 billion resort in Macau, China. "The Speakman-Wynn relationship clearly demonstrates our capability to deliver a high volume, high quality, completely custom product line to a major luxury hotel group," said Knoll. 

"The collection is being used in the most luxurious new casino and resort in the world," said Knoll, "and we are confident that it will appeal to other hotel, residential and spa settings as well."

Speakman's lead product designer Jeff Harwanko agrees that hospitality clients are going to be delighted to see the Opera Collection installed in their bathrooms.  "Innovation, timeless beauty, and superior quality are at the heart of the Speakman brand," said Harwanko. "This collection will surpass customers' expectations and offer an exceptional experience for their hotel guests."
