Ralph Lauren Home: For classics, leave it to Ralph Lauren. We were romanced by the vintage feel of the Stilla line of hardware. Single hooks (shown) are available in a variety of finishes. Ralph Lauren Home, 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036. circle 320

Valli & Valli: With their attenuated teardrop lines, the pieces in the Roy collection are about as elegant as hardware gets. Shown here are the towel rail and toilet-roll holder; shelf, soap holder, robe hook, and towel ring are also available. Valli & Valli, 150 East 58th Street, 4th floor, New York, NY 10155; www.vallievalli.com. circle 321

York Street Studio: York Street Studio's latest is a sampling of hardware and accessories made from hand-polished solid brass with concealed connections for a seamless look and simple installation. The square drawer pull and soap dish may be minimalist but still manage to maintain the warmth of the handmade. York Street Studio, 725 Bantam Road, Box 367, Bantam, CT 06750; www.yorkstreet.com. circle 322

Mill-Due: Clio, the Italian company's latest bath system, displays an impressive understanding of industrial chic. Shown here, sleek sliding metal drawers are paired with a touch of traditional elegance in the form of a double basin of Carrara marble.We also liked the futuristic illumination cast by the aluminum shelf light.

Waterworks: The Etoile freestanding thermostatic shower may resemble a space-age washing mechanism, but it's actually based on an early-1900s design. The elliptical, ribbed armature delivers an array of therapeutic water sprays while a toe-testing feature allows bathers to check water temperature before committing to the full treatment. By special order only. Waterworks, 60 Backus Avenue, Danbury, CT 06810; www.waterworks.com. circle 326
