I grew up in South Florida, never more than minutes away from the beach.  The lighthouse is not only a symbol of tradition, where in days gone by it was a way shower and lifesaver for those at sea, but for me it also stands for Dad.  My dad taught me how to swim, snorkel and generally love the ocean when I was a wee girl.  As a Navy veteran who spent many days at sea, you could say he became a connoisseur of lighthouses.  Today he makes them with his hands and if you're lucky enough to be a friend or relative you will have one gracing your yard with its soft illumination.Well apparently I'm not the only one thinking about lighthouses.  On a trip to Portugal Judd Lord, Director of Industrial Design at Brizo, found the inspiration for the Baliza faucet.  You guessed it, lighthouses!   To him the lighthouse exemplifies all that is timeless and traditional.  I love the idea of using a familiar object in a new and innovative way.Check out this video to see what Baliza is all about. Now I'm going to the beach!
