Luxury with Intention: Franz Viegener Unveils the Zephyr Collection

A poetic fusion of Art Deco heritage and modern design, Zephyr embodies precision, balance, and quiet sophistication.

Gurnee, IL – Franz Viegener, the distinguished manufacturer of luxury faucets and bath fittings, proudly announces the debut of its newest collection: Zephyr. Marking a new chapter in the brand’s design evolution, Zephyr embodies luxury with intention; a seamless blend of Art Deco inspiration, refined geometry, and modern minimalism.

Zephyr: A Quiet Revolution in Form

Inspired by the iconic Zephyr train—an emblem of Art Deco innovation and aerodynamic grace—this collection reimagines a golden era through a distinctly modern lens. Zephyr blends streamlined geometry with sculptural elegance, offering a refined expression of timeless luxury.

Rather than replicate the past, Zephyr distills it. The collection draws subtle cues from the Belle Époque and Art Deco movements, translating their ornamental richness into minimalist silhouettes defined by proportion and intention. Every curve and contour is purposefully restrained, allowing the form to breathe with quiet confidence. In Zephyr, beauty emerges not from excess, but from precision.

This is design that doesn’t clamor for attention—it earns it. Through balance, poise, and presence, Zephyr embodies a timeless sophistication, where structure meets softness, and innovation respects tradition. It’s a dialogue between then and now, between what was and what can be.

At the heart of Zephyr lies the artistry of making. Crafted in our vertically integrated factory in Buenos Aires, each piece is the result of deep collaboration between designers, engineers, and master artisans. Surfaces are hand-polished and brushed with care, allowing transitions to feel seamless, fluid, alive. It is this patient process, this intimate exchange between hand and material that defines the soul of the collection.

Zephyr is available in a curated selection of PVD finishes, including Polished Brass and a collection-exclusive Polished Black, both chosen for their exceptional durability, rich luster, and visual depth. These finishes do more than color the product; they give it character, elevating the collection’s sculptural identity.

More than a faucet, Zephyr is a philosophy, a belief that function should move us, and that the objects we live with should reflect both care and conviction. It is an invitation to slow down, to look closer, to feel more.

With Zephyr, Franz Viegener reaffirms its commitment to craftsmanship, design, and emotional resonance. This is luxury with a purpose. Minimalism with meaning. And a reminder that refinement isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing it better.
