JYM is a line that emerges from adjoining basic geometric shapes into unique and dynamic pieces that generate a contrast between a cylindrical surface with tangential faces and an open angle with two diagonals, clearly creating a language through this juxtaposition of figures that applies for all the pieces of the family, including bathroom accessories, wall-mounted shower fixtures, and even the kitchen mixer with extension. This collection suggests certain uses and movements thanks to punctual lines and vertices. Likewise, by means of opposing angles, the pieces indicate the direction in which the lever must be actuated for the water to flow.  

All the pieces in the collection have a cold start function, which means hot water will not be consumed until the mixer is turned out of its central position to the left, saving considerable energy consumption and helping to reduce a building’s carbon footprint. An alloy of metals such as chrome and nickel allows the pieces to be resistant to high temperatures, in addition to protecting them from oxidation thanks to their chrome galvanized coating, which ensures that their durability has a prolonged period of use without the need for cleaners and chemical products for its maintenance. This collection also allows that at the end of its useful life, some of its components can be reused in the manufacture of other pieces thanks to the materials with which it was manufactured.
