CHICAGO, IL — Sloan welcomed hundreds of architects, designers, contractors, engineers, and industry professionals to its Green Street showroom during Fulton Market Design Days, showcasing the latest commercial plumbing technologies, integrated restroom solutions, and emerging design trends shaping future building projects.

Held June 8-10, the three-day event featured new product introductions, previews of upcoming technologies, and a design-focused panel discussion with Italian design firm Pininfarina, highlighting how aesthetics, sustainability, and performance are becoming increasingly interconnected in commercial plumbing specifications.

New Fixture Collection Blends Design and Performance

Among the event's highlights was the introduction of the Clybourn Avenue™ Collection, developed in collaboration with internationally recognized design firm Pininfarina.

Known for its automotive and industrial design expertise, Pininfarina partnered with Sloan to create commercial restroom fixtures that emphasize both visual appeal and functionality. The collaboration reflects growing demand from architects and building owners for restroom products that combine high performance with elevated design.

During a panel discussion, members of the Pininfarina design team explained how the Chicago River inspired the collection's flowing forms and detailing. Attendees also gained insight into how automotive design principles can translate into durable commercial plumbing fixtures that enhance both user experience and long-term performance.

Integrated Sink Systems Continue to Gain Momentum

Sloan's FLITE-DEC™ Integrated Sink System and expanded portfolio of integrated sink solutions also attracted significant attention throughout the event.

As integrated restroom systems become more common in commercial construction, contractors are increasingly looking for products that simplify installation, improve hygiene, and reduce maintenance requirements. Sloan's integrated offerings help streamline coordination by combining multiple components into single-source solutions that support consistent performance across a variety of building types and project budgets.

Smart Water Technologies Expand Facility Solutions

Beyond restroom fixtures, Sloan highlighted its growing portfolio of hydration and facility products, including DropSpot™ Bottle Fillers and Water Coolers and custom mirror solutions.

The company also previewed several products scheduled for release later this year, including a new Sensor Piston Flushometer and Sloan Track-on™, a run-on detection system designed to identify leaking fixtures before they contribute to excessive water use or flooding.

Design Days Highlights Future Commercial Building Trends

For plumbing contractors and building professionals, Fulton Market Design Days provided an opportunity to evaluate technologies that are increasingly influencing commercial project specifications.

From integrated sink systems and hydration products to smart monitoring technologies that help reduce water waste, Sloan demonstrated how commercial plumbing manufacturers are responding to growing demand for water efficiency, reliability, simplified maintenance, and design flexibility across today's commercial buildings.
