Streamline Leads Sustainable Bespoke Design Revolution
As developers, architects and designers seek customised bathroom products to ensure projects have a one-of-a-kind creative edge, few suppliers can locally design and deliver to meet the agile nature of project build timelines. One such manufacturer that is drawing attention for their masterful ability to do so, is Streamline Products.

A Bespoke Design Revolution
Already a well established exclusive Australian distributor of Italy’s premium bathroom brand Zucchetti.Kos, Streamline’s director and head of product design Salvador Jornet made the decision to pivot the business in 2014 to design and engineer its own brand, Arcisan. Guided by Jonet’s vision to provide innovative environmentally responsible bathroom design solutions for the Australian market, Streamline’s bespoke design revolution is gaining real momentum.
“Arcisan was born from the desire to create and curate beautiful bathroom products for our Australian clients with a strong and secure connection to innovation, design, quality and sustainability. We are constantly evolving with new and beautiful ranges that enable you to create your most wonderful space where you can unwind and relax from the everyday,” says Jornet.

Focused on sustainable manufacturing practices, Streamline is committed to a positive and effective Life Cycle Assessment charter for their products. Each collection Streamline designs and manufactures is reflective of their deep understanding of the industry’s demand for sustainable and environmentally conscious products. Their Arcisan range, a standout for a simple savvy design decision which sees the use of uniform back of wall mixer bodies. Resulting in reduced installation materials required, whilst allowing for the greatest design freedom.
“Our Arcisan back of wall mixer bodies are made extremely durable and resilient, outlasting design trends by a good many years. By creating a uniform back of wall body, it gives our clients the option to update their front of wall look without pulling apart bathrooms, which reduces waste,” says Jornet.

Collaborating for Effective Change
The brand’s continuing commitment to sustainability took another major step this year with the joining of the Living Future Institute/Living Building Challenge™ programme. Working hard to effect change within their supply chain, under the programme Streamline is collaborating with their manufacturers to identify and restrain “worst in class” materials, chemicals, and elements known to pose risks to human health and the greater ecosystem that are often prevalent in building industry products.
“For real, impactful change to happen you must look at the full picture. For us that meant looking at our supply chain from top to bottom, identifying opportunities with our suppliers to remove problematic raw materials where possible,” Mark Orton, General Manager at Streamline Products said.
“At the same time, we also understood the part we have to play at a product’s end of life, which led to the launch in 2019 our End of Life take back programme where foundry recycling can be taken back and managed” adds Orton.
“This combined with utilising recyclable packaging, locally acquired recycled pallets and our partnership with Greenfleet to offset our annual carbon footprint, are just some of the ways we’re putting into practice Salvador’s vision. Innovation is in our brand’s DNA.”
