Childhood memories of building blocks served as interior designer Christopher Grubb’s inspiration for California Faucets’ Doheny Series. The dynamic octagonal design—a shape that represents a connection between the physical and spiritual world—calls to mind the architecture of churches, mosques, and temples built throughout history. Art Deco, Bauhaus, and Mid-Century design have all made use of the octagon, and it’s highly valued in Feng Shui since it is believed to balance energy and prosperity.

The Doheny Series features a unique banding detail that adds depth and texture while also allowing for a split finish configuration. The band may be the same finish and/or texture as the handles and spout for a smooth, cohesive look, or it can stand out with a different finish and/or texture, for a truly one-of-a-kind statement. A complete array of bath accessories from cabinet pulls and knobs to towel bars and Roman tub sets give designers the versatility they need to carry their design visions throughout the entire bath.

Made of solid brass and hand-finished to order, the Doheny series is available in any of California Faucets 25-plus artisan finishes, including 12 PVD finishes that are guaranteed against tarnishing. The array of available finishes includes a variety of textures from satin and polished to brushed and matte for absolutely endless possible combinations and personalization options.

With his design firm located in Beverly Hills, Grubb designed the Doheny series to exude the beauty, luxury, and uniqueness that one experiences in this iconic locale—a place where homes designed by top architects can be found in every style from contemporary to traditional to transitional. In this same manner, Doheny blends clean lines and classic shapes with a sense of timeless elegance.
