Moen Faucet Design Competition

September 15, 2006 – Karen Harris awarded 2nd place in Moen Exclusively Yours Faucet Design Competition

Description of Design: The Urban Comfort Collection employs seemingly opposing yet blended design elements.  Urban and comfort; functionality and aesthetics; sensuous curves and clean lines; warm tones and cool finishes.  It is a contemporary marriage between the clean lines of purely functional elements and the sensuous silhouettes of a decorative accessory.

Main judge, Ellen Cheever, CMKBD, personal comments on Harris design, “I am drawn to the organic lines of this collection, and think it is wonderfully reminiscent of the elegant shipboard cruises of the 1940s in its wood and stainless steel presentation… My compliments to the designer for understanding the business side of industrial design: and thinking through a variety of fixture designs creating a “family.” A beautiful, elegant expression of design excellence!”
