About DXV Movements

DXV fixtures and fittings do not merely reproduce styles from each era; rather they are inspired by historically significant designs, reinterpreting them in light of today’s aesthetic and performance demands. Each of the DXV movements includes one or two bath-fixture suites and complementary faucet collections. The portfolio also includes a collection of kitchen sinks and fittings, as well as the AT Series, a state-of-the-art smart toilet and bidet seat that perform as superbly as they look.

About The Other Movements

MODERN, 1950–1990:

The power of the individual to rethink, reshape, and reimagine the physical environment was affirmed through experimentation with materials, forms, and dimensions for forward-directed design in which artful lines and flowing forms play against geometric structures.

Experimentation in forms, materials and dimensions mark this movement. Artful lines and flowing forms play against geometric structures, creating a sharp contrast with the past and forging a new direction forward in design. To many, the Modern Movement affirmed the power of the individual to rethink, reshape and re-imagine the physical environment.

CONTEMPORARY, 1990–TODAY:

Undogmatic and eclectic, today’s continually evolving design aesthetic may combine individual style with international influences, minimalistic forms with rich texture, ornate detail with natural material-of-the-moment solutions that reflect the complexity of our changing world.

The contemporary design aesthetic is no longer dogmatic. It is eclectic and continually evolving. Today, contemporary combines influences of international and individual style. Tomorrow’s contemporary may merge minimal functionality with rich texture, ornate detail and natural materials. Contemporary design is of the moment, reflecting and responding to the complexity of our changing world.
