SPACE-SAVING BIKE PARKING SYSTEM
The Dero Decker two-tiered bike parking system has been made easier to install and operate. The top trays are 40 pounds lighter than legacy models and offer smooth, quiet movement when raising and lowering the trays. Installation requires 60% less drilling into the floor. A bolting footplate guide eliminates the need to measure the position of the lower trays during installation. Front-wheel safety locking lever and tray dampers enhance safety when lowering the upper trays. Accommodates u-locks for added security. Fat-bike tray available.
STACKED STONE LOOK GIVES DESIGNERS LOTS OF OPTIONS
The Stacked Stone collection from Eldorado Stone provides the classic aesthetic and precision of hand-laid dry-stack stone with the installation and maintenance benefits of a panel system.

The stones measure four inches high and range in length from eight inches to 20 inches, and in depths from 0.625 inches to two inches. Available in more than a dozen profiles, including Chapel Hill, Nantucket, and Santa Fe.

Measuring just 56x29 inches, the Vetralla tub from Victoria+Albert is designed for contemporary bathrooms where space is at a premium. The tub is made from V+A’s Quarrycast mix of volcanic limestone and resins that creates a high-gloss, bright-white luster. Available in white, matte white, gloss black, light grey, matte black, anthracite, and stone grey.
VERSATILE PREP SINK WILL simply BOWL YOU OVER
Lenova’s Permaclean Apron Front Ledge Prep Sink has an engineered platform ledge that allows the unit to turn into a food prep center, complete with an optional stainless steel colander, roll-up grid drainer, and bamboo cutting board.
