RRiobel is Shaping the Future of Water with Canadian Design Innovation
Evoking the timeless elegance of lighthouses, the Nibi collection is Riobel’s latest design
INTRODUCING THE NIBI COLLECTION
iobel unveils Nibi, the newest design collection in its repertoire of unique bathroom fixtures.
The Nibi collection exemplifies what sets Riobel apart, moving faucet design away from the traditional by infusing each piece with a unique story. The Nibi collection draws inspiration from the metaphor of the lighthouse.
The lighthouse — engineering marvel, architectural icon, and oceanic beacon — symbolizes durability and stability. Its distinctive, tapering form is echoed in every piece of the Nibi collection.
This is Riobel’s vision: a blend of novel and familiar, minimalist without being starkly industrial or so avant-garde that it may look dated in a few years.
COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS
The Nibi collection includes fixtures for bathtubs, sinks, and shower sets.
Nibi faucets come in various styles, including top handle, side handle, and two-handle options.
There’s even taller Nibi faucets designed for vessel sinks. All Nibi pieces are o ered in black, brushed gold, brushed nickel, and chrome finishes.

SMALL DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Small but significant details, like clearly marked handle positions, exemplify the thoughtful Nibi design.
“An adjustable aerator pivots to fine-tune the water stream direction, preventing splashing,” says Sara Luzopone, showroom consultant at the Victoria Splashes Bath & Kitchen. “Nibi’s substantial handles can be easily moved with any part of one hand or arm, o ering more ergonomic and hygienic functionality.”
RIOBEL’S DESIGN FLAIR
Inspired by the sculptural shapes of contemporary architecture, the Riobel design team creates distinctive and innovative brassware. Based in Saint-Jérôme Quebec, Riobel seamlessly blends European elegance with North American innovation.
