MGS Debuts Stunning Kitchen Faucet in Onyx Stainless Steel
Combining Form and Function with Standout Designs
LOS ANGELES – Since 1997, MGS of Milano, Italy, has produced plumbing fixtures to
unmatched quality and artistry in metal, setting a new industry standard by constructing true
stainless steel faucets for residential use and crafting each part using the finest machining
processes. MGS is proud to introduce their new Onyx stainless steel PVD finish available for the
Vela LD faucet. This option comes in addition to brushed or polished true stainless steel offerings.
Unlike competitors who might use a powder coating to achieve a black option, MGS uses an
extremely resistant finish that penetrates the metal and creates a smooth aesthetic with pure
shine. The entire MGS kitchen collection is inspired from the needs of professional chefs, bringing
flexibility and durability to the home kitchen with exceptional design and construction. Every
fixture is architectural, reliable and unique with ultra-smooth operation.
MGS takes architecture, product design and refinement to a level of perfection, manufacturing
every fixture with a sense of purpose, form and function. Each piece in the MGS kitchen
collection is hand finished before assembly so that no joint or edge of the fixture is ignored. Most
designs are available in either brushed or polished stainless steel with select designs offering
Onyx stainless steel. This also means that a fixture can be customized with split finishes – an
option rarely seen in stainless steel.
Clockwise: Vela LD, Vela D and Vela PD.

Solid stainless steel also offers the benefits of being non-corrosive, non-toxic, and non-porous –
with the added benefit of easy cleaning without using harsh chemicals. These great advantages
make MGS the ultimate choice in kitchen faucets. No matter what decorative style the kitchen is,
MGS will fit seamlessly in any kitchen.

Here we present a taste of MGS’s most exceptional kitchen collections:
Vela LD
An iconic design from MGS, the Vela LD series is inspired by commercial “pull down” style
kitchen faucets, offering the same experience for home chefs. The handheld spray features a
highly functional spring neck for maximum flexibility and reach with a support arm to hold the
spout in place. In addition, the hand-spray features a dual spray option of shower or aerated
stream. The Vela LD collection is also offered in Onyx stainless steel obtained through PVD
treatment: an extremely resistant finish that penetrates the metal. No visible set screws allow you
to install the handle in the front, on the right or on the left – making it the ideal choice for an
island.
Vela D
One of MGS’s newest Vela product designs, Vela D features a single lever mixer with a
substantial base and is equipped with an integrated sleek dual hand-spray offering a minimalist
design. Nesting in place with precision and purpose, the pullout hand-spray is literally an
extension of the graceful arc spout with flow patterns that can be easily switched from aerated to
shower stream with a unique slide button. A special Vela D Limited Edition series is also offered
in a split finish of brushed and polished stainless steel.
Vela PD
The Vela PD professional series features a pivoting, long, arc-shaped 11 inch reach hand-spray
spout, making it the perfect choice for larger chefs’ kitchen sinks. The curved spout is also
mimicked subtly in the slightly curved handle, offering a modern, unique touch to the standout
design. The Vela PD pull-out hand-spray offers an aerated or shower stream managed by spoutmounted control buttons. In addition, the Vela D is also available with a nine inch arc spout.

Spin D and Spin D K (Knurled Ring option)
Slender, minimalist and understated, the Spin D faucet is sleek yet powerful. Its base features a
narrow handle equipped with an easy to operate water lever on the right, with hot water accessed
by pushing it back and cold water by pulling it forward. For the “hot” setting, the lever only goes
back 17 degrees, allowing it to install in tight configurations. Spin D also offers choices of smooth
or machine knurled ring (Spin D K) accent details on the mixing valve and a dual spray faucet
with an extendable pull-out spout and stainless steel slide button to easily switch from aerated
stream to shower stream.
F2 SP
The F2 SP MGS faucet is the definition of simplicity in a two or three-hole mounted design with a
single lever valve that controls water volume and temperature in one hole and the spout in
another. The contemporary design features a dramatic, slender spout and a substantial stainless
steel handheld side spray (in the third hole) that can be installed on either side of the valve and
spout configuration.

attention to detail of Swiss engineering, precision manufacturing and uncompromising standards.
Creating architectural plumbing fixtures for kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors, MGS represents
the perfect harmony of aesthetics and technology. Since 1997, MGS has been one of the premier

clean finished edges. Although this technique is more difficult and costly, MGS has dedicated
their brand DNA to the pursuit of this practice. This design aesthetic and attention to detail
resonates with discerning consumers and architects who appreciate the difference and
