Why BKLYN Brass? The Story Behind Our Solid Brass & Copper Fixtures
There is a difference between a fixture that simply completes a room and one that becomes part of it.
BKLYN Brass was created for the latter.
Designed in Brooklyn and handcrafted in Marrakech, BKLYN Brass brings together architectural design, traditional metal craftsmanship and authentic materials to create solid brass and copper fixtures for kitchens, bathrooms, showers and outdoor spaces.
At the heart of the collection is a simple philosophy: choose materials with character, craft them with care, and let them become more beautiful with time.
That philosophy is especially visible in the brand's signature shower systems, where solid brass and copper are shaped into rainfall, exposed, wall-mounted, handheld and outdoor configurations designed to become architectural features rather than disappear into the background.

Shop Shower SystemsWhat Makes BKLYN Brass Different?
BKLYN Brass is not built around a single finish trend.
It is built around a material philosophy.
The collection centers on solid brass, solid copper and unlacquered finishes that are allowed to develop character naturally. Instead of treating brass as simply a color, BKLYN Brass treats it as a living material whose appearance can evolve through everyday use.
That difference matters for customers searching for a luxury brass shower system, unlacquered brass shower, solid brass faucet or outdoor copper shower that can become more personal as the years pass.
Designed in Brooklyn. Handcrafted in Marrakech.
The BKLYN Brass identity brings two worlds together.
Brooklyn represents the design language: architectural, modern, restrained and focused on how a fixture belongs within a larger interior.
Marrakech represents the craft: metalworking traditions, hand-finishing and the human process behind the object.
The result is a collection that can work equally well in a modern stone bathroom, a historic renovation, a Mediterranean villa, a custom kitchen or a luxury outdoor retreat.
Why Solid Brass Matters
For a luxury fixture, material is more than appearance.
Solid brass brings weight, substance and a distinctive visual warmth that works naturally with stone, wood, plaster, marble and other architectural materials.
That is why brass remains such a compelling choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
A solid brass shower system can become the visual anchor of a bathroom.
A brass bridge faucet can turn an ordinary sink area into a design feature.
A brass outdoor shower can transform a practical poolside installation into part of the architecture.
And because unlacquered brass is designed to evolve, the material can continue changing with the room.
Designed to Age Like Fine Wine
One of the most distinctive aspects of BKLYN Brass is its living finish.
Unlacquered brass does not attempt to remain visually frozen forever.
Over time, exposure to air, moisture and everyday use can change the surface, creating more depth, warmth and variation.
That natural evolution is part of the appeal.
A living finish can develop differently from one environment to another. A fixture in a humid bathroom may evolve differently from one in a dry interior, while an outdoor shower can respond to its own climate and surroundings.
This means the finished result becomes personal to the home.
Customers who prefer a brighter appearance can periodically polish unlacquered brass, while those who appreciate a more aged appearance can allow the patina to develop naturally.
Why the Shower Collection Has Become the Signature of BKLYN Brass
Among the brand's collections, the shower range best expresses the combination of material, craftsmanship and architecture.
The BKLYN Brass Shower Systems collection includes solid brass and copper configurations for both indoor and outdoor applications.
- Exposed shower systems
- Rainfall shower systems
- Wall-mounted shower systems
- Handheld shower configurations
- Tub-filler shower systems
- Outdoor brass showers
- Copper outdoor showers
The collection also carries strong customer feedback across multiple configurations, giving shoppers a useful combination of product detail, customer experience and material transparency.
Copper Outdoor Shower System
The Copper Outdoor Shower System is built from solid copper and uses an unlacquered finish designed to develop patina naturally.
It is suited to pool areas, gardens, patios and other outdoor environments where the shower becomes part of the landscape and architecture.
Solid Brass Rainfall Shower System
The Solid Brass Rainfall Shower System brings the same material philosophy to interior bathrooms.
For designers and homeowners looking for a solid brass rainfall shower, warm brass, exposed architecture and a living finish create a distinctive alternative to highly uniform chrome or coated finishes.
Unlacquered Brass Exposed Shower System
The Unlacquered Brass Exposed Shower System is especially suited to customers searching for an unlacquered brass shower, exposed brass shower system or solid brass shower system.
Its visible riser and exposed architecture make the fixture part of the visual language of the bathroom itself.
Unlacquered Brass Outdoor Shower
The Unlacquered Brass Outdoor Shower System combines the outdoor-shower concept with the distinctive aging characteristics of unlacquered brass.
The product combines a rainfall shower head, handheld option and solid brass construction with a finish designed to develop natural character over time.
Built for Architects, Designers and Distinctive Homes
A luxury architectural fixture has to do more than function.
It has to belong.
That is why BKLYN Brass products are suited to spaces where materials are selected intentionally.
Interior designers can use warm brass to soften stone and modern surfaces.
Architects can use exposed brass to make plumbing architecture part of the visual composition.
Builders and custom-home teams can coordinate bathroom, kitchen and outdoor fixtures across an entire project.
Homeowners can carry the same brass and copper language from the kitchen to the bathroom, from the interior to the pool terrace.
From Kitchen Faucets to Complete Interior Details
The same design philosophy continues throughout the collection.
The Kitchen Collection includes solid brass and unlacquered brass kitchen faucets, bridge faucets and related fixtures.
Material is only one part of choosing the right fixture. Dimensions, plumbing connections, cartridge specifications, installation requirements and configuration options matter just as much.
That is why BKLYN Brass product pages provide product-specific technical information alongside the visual story.
Why Customers Choose the Material
Customer feedback around BKLYN Brass repeatedly returns to a familiar group of qualities:
- The finish feels distinctive.
- The pieces feel substantial.
- The design changes the room.
- The material has character.
- The result feels considered rather than generic.
For someone investing in a premium fixture, that emotional response matters.
The decision is rarely only:
It is more often:
That is where material, proportion, craftsmanship and finish become valuable.
Why BKLYN Brass Is Trustworthy

More Than a Bathroom Fixture
A brass shower system can become part of a larger design language.
Pair it with natural stone and it feels warm and organic.
Pair it with plaster and it feels Mediterranean.
Pair it with dark wood and it becomes richer and more dramatic.
Pair it with clean tile and modern architecture and it can become a strong heritage accent.
The same principle applies to the kitchen.
A bridge faucet can become the visual center of a sink wall.
A pot filler can turn a functional detail into an architectural element.
A copper sink can bring warmth into a room filled with stone and wood.
Lighting and accessories can carry the same material language throughout the home.
The BKLYN Brass Approach to Outdoor Living
Outdoor fixtures have to work with their environment rather than fight against it.
That is especially important for pool houses, gardens, terraces, courtyards and coastal homes.
The BKLYN Brass outdoor shower collection is designed around that relationship.
Solid copper and unlacquered brass can develop richer tones over time, allowing the fixture to sit naturally alongside stone, wood, greenery and weathered materials.

How to Choose the Right Brass Shower System
The right system depends on the room, the installation and the experience you want from the space.
Choose a rainfall system when
You want the shower to feel calm, immersive and spa-like.
Choose an exposed system when
You want the plumbing architecture itself to become part of the design.
Choose a handheld configuration when
Flexibility is important for everyday use, cleaning or family bathrooms.
Choose a tub-filler configuration when
The bathroom is designed around a larger bathing space and you want shower and tub functions integrated together.
Choose copper for outdoor applications when
You want a warmer, more expressive material with natural aging characteristics.
Choose unlacquered brass when
You want the fixture to develop its own living finish and character over time.
The BKLYN Brass Collections
BKLYN Brass is designed to let customers carry a consistent material language throughout an entire project.
The Material Becomes Part of the Story
The most important difference between a conventional fixture and a living-finish brass fixture is that one stays visually fixed while the other can evolve.
That evolution is what gives the material its personality.
A new fixture has one story.
A fixture that has lived with a family for years can have another.
The surface records time.
It becomes warmer.
More individual.
More connected to the home.
That is why BKLYN Brass believes in materials that are meant to be lived with, not simply looked at.
A Different Kind of Luxury
Luxury does not have to mean ornament.
It can mean the weight of solid brass, the warmth of copper, the feel of a hand-finished surface, the proportion of a well-designed shower and the satisfaction of seeing a material develop naturally.
It can mean knowing that a fixture belongs to the architecture rather than competing with it.
That is the kind of luxury BKLYN Brass is building.
Designed in Brooklyn. Handcrafted in Marrakech.
Solid Brass & Copper. Living Finishes. Architectural Character.
