Iconic Exposed Showers, Signature Faucets & Cohesive Accessories
The WaterBridge Collection remains the purest expression of the industrial-chic aesthetic that Sonoma Forge pioneered more than two decades ago. While its iconic Exposed Showers have become design centerpieces in luxury homes worldwide, the true power of WaterBridge lies in its complete, cohesive offering—showers, faucets, tub fillers, and matching accessories that transform plumbing into architecture.
Exposed Showers: The Statement Piece
Long before exposed plumbing became synonymous with high-end design, WaterBridge was elevating it. The Exposed Shower system turns risers, joints, valves, and shower heads into sculptural vertical compositions. Rather than concealing mechanics behind tile, WaterBridge celebrates them.
In today’s luxury interiors—where authenticity, visible structure, and material honesty define the aesthetic—the exposed shower feels inevitable. Installed indoors against stone, plaster, or hand-crafted tile, it introduces architectural rhythm and vertical emphasis. Outdoors, mounted against reclaimed timber or masonry, it becomes elemental—confident and grounded in its environment.
These showers are coveted not only for their bold presence, but for their integrity. Every connection is purposeful. Every fitting contributes to the visual language. It is engineering as art.
Signature Faucets: Utility Elevated
Extending this philosophy to the vanity and kitchen, WaterBridge faucets translate humble plumbing forms into refined statements of craft.
The classic Elbow spout projects with geometric authority—clean, direct, unapologetically functional. In contrast, the Asian-inspired Waterfall spout reveals the flow of water itself, creating a tranquil, sculptural cascade that transforms a daily ritual into sensory experience.
Lever or cross handles allow designers to calibrate the mood of a space—sleek and contemporary or heritage-driven and mechanical. The proportions feel intentional, the construction visible, the weight substantial. These are fixtures that do not pretend to be something else; they are honest in form and elevated in execution.
In powder rooms, primary suites, and chef’s kitchens alike, WaterBridge faucets anchor the space. They provide continuity when paired with the Exposed Shower, reinforcing a cohesive industrial vocabulary throughout the home.
Matching Accessories: Design Without Compromise
True luxury lies in completeness. WaterBridge extends its aesthetic into coordinated accessories—towel bars, robe hooks, toilet paper holders, and more—crafted with the same exposed fittings and structural clarity.
Rather than treating accessories as afterthoughts, the collection ensures that every touchpoint in the bath carries the same design DNA. The result is a unified environment where pipe, bracket, and joint become consistent architectural motifs. This attention to detail elevates the entire room from decorated to intentional.
For designers, this cohesion is invaluable. It allows for a seamless visual narrative, whether the project leans mountain modern, urban loft, coastal retreat, or wine-country estate.
Living Finishes for Living Spaces
Handcrafted in richly expressive metal finishes—Rustic Copper, Rustic Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Matte Black and Satin Nickel—WaterBridge fixtures evolve over time. These living surfaces develop patina, deepening in tone and complexity with use and exposure.
In a design era increasingly focused on permanence and authenticity, this evolution is essential. Rather than resisting time, WaterBridge embraces it. A faucet installed today will tell a richer story a decade from now. An outdoor exposed shower will harmonize with sun, air, and climate, gaining character season after season.
Industrial Chic, Fully Realized
At its core, the WaterBridge Collection transforms utilitarian plumbing parts into enduring icons of design. The Exposed Showers command attention. The faucets refine and reinforce the language. The matching accessories complete the narrative.
Luxury today is defined not by excess, but by clarity—materials that feel grounded, engineering that can be seen, craftsmanship that can be felt. WaterBridge embodies this philosophy completely.
It does not hide its purpose. It celebrates it—across every shower, every faucet, and every carefully crafted detail.
