Varied Forms through Faura

Faura specifies and orders Varied Forms brassware for complete bathrooms, with taps, showers and accessories in matching finishes.

How the modular system works

Varied Forms approaches brassware the way a tailor approaches a suit. Each tap or shower is configured from capsule components (spouts, handles and finishes), and the online configurator lets you try combinations, then save and share a selection.

Because the design elements can be replaced, a finished bathroom can be refreshed later by changing handles or accents rather than replacing the whole tap. Varied Forms presents this as a way to make bathrooms last longer and reduce the impact of refurbishment.

Folio and Macaron

• Folio: modular brassware inspired by historical tap archetypes and reworked in contemporary forms, designed to suit both period and modern homes. Finishes include Simply Chrome, Silver Steel, Warm Brass and Dark Bronze.
• Macaron: a playful collection inspired by French patisserie, in which handle accents are combined by colour and material. Metal finishes are Simply Chrome, Silver Steel, Soft Black, Warm Brass and Dark Bronze; pastel accents include Bleached Deck, Almost Harvest, Riverbank and Pink Sand; marble accents include Beige Ecru, Aqua Marine, White Carrara and Grey Moon.

Macaron received the Archiproducts Design Award 2023, with judges noting both the visual design and the idea of letting customers create their own tap and shower range.

Materials and manufacture

Production takes place in northern Italy, where specialists combine precision technology with traditional metalworking. Every component is made from 90% recycled solid brass to European standards, with valves from leading manufacturers, and returned parts can be reworked into future collections.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I see or buy Varied Forms in London?

Where are Varied Forms taps made?

Varied Forms is based in London, and its production takes place in northern Italy, where specialists combine precision technology with traditional metalworking. Its finishes are hand applied in Italy.

What is modular brassware?

Varied Forms taps and showers are built from interchangeable capsule components: spouts, handles and finishes. You configure a design for each fitting, and handles or accents can later be replaced to refresh the look without replacing the whole tap.

What is the difference between Folio and Macaron?

Folio reinterprets classic tap silhouettes with interchangeable base shapes, for period and modern homes. Macaron is a more playful collection in which handle accents are combined in metal, pastel and marble materials.

Does Varied Forms make bespoke taps for hotels and developments?

Yes. Varied Forms takes on bespoke solutions for medium and large-scale projects, such as boutique hotels, developments and restaurants, using pre-certified modular platforms.

How much do Varied Forms taps cost, and what are the lead times?

Both depend on the configuration, the finishes and the number of fittings. Faura prepares trade quotations for each project and confirms timing for each order.
