MILLI ETCH—REECE

The Milli Etch collection by Reece pairs architectural form with tactile detailing, blending clean lines and refined texture in a modern interpretation of timeless tapware.

Designed in Australia, the collection reimagines classic tapware through the lens of elegance and utility—offering a sculptural silhouette that invites touch.

At its core is the signature Clous De Paris knurling, a refined texture traditionally found in luxury Swiss timepieces. This intricate detailing adds depth and distinction, softening the industrial undertone with craftsmanship that’s both timeless and considered.

Awarded the 2025 iF Design Award, Milli Etch is recognised globally for its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and form. Available in six carefully curated finishes: Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Brushed Gold, Brushed Bronze, Brushed Gunmetal, and Matte Black, the range adapts seamlessly to a variety of bathroom aesthetics.

Exclusively available at Reece, Milli Etch strikes the balance between expressive design and everyday functionality—created to elevate the rituals of daily life.
