Collections Book

Sussex has the coveted position of being vertically integrated entirely in Australia. Every product is created in-house: beginning with the vision of a collection to the casting in the foundry, all the way to the craftsman's workbench. The journey is completed using our LUXPVD® world-class finishing technology.
With sketches guided by vision that embrace the Sussex design philosophy, our designers take the first step on a long journey to turn those lines into a workable concept. They collaborate hand in hand with our engineering and architectural managers to create high-end collections for Australian homes. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered and obsessed over again and again.
The heritage of creation
Our designers are always mindful of current tastes, but with one eye turned towards anticipation, they remain true to our heritage. This alchemy of the past, present, and future uniquely distinguishes the design of a Sussex tap.
It's a rare privilege of having one's own foundry. From the beginning, our founder Nick knew the best way to create the highest quality products was to establish a foundry so he could control each step of the process where everything, including waste, has a use.
One hundred percent of our brass is processed in a totally closed cycle, under internal control. This allows us to make a more sustainable product and guarantees the ethical provenance of the brass used. This style of recycling brass is one of a kind in Australia.
Our story of craftsmanship began over 60 years ago when our founder travelled from the Netherlands to start a business in Australia based on his talents for watchmaking. When he established Sussex in 1997, his intrinsic passion in traditional craftsmanship easily translated into tap making. That foundation of care and precision has been carried into the next generation, who continues his legacy of making timeless tapware crafted with soul.
The art of manufacturing is a long-term journey. For us, this means finding the balance between traditional techniques and the latest machinery, as well as the determination to compete on the world stage while remaining entirely in Australia. That's why it's necessary to constantly invest in new machinery for our facility. This standard is managed by well-trained and talented operators using the most modern and eco-friendly machines.
By pursing a business model of vertical integration entirely in Australia, we're able to maintain complete control of the process and therefore ensure the highest standard of excellence for our customers.
