TONI Copenhagen
Denmark's oldest maker of kitchen and bath fittings, TONI Copenhagen has built its faucets by hand in a small Copenhagen workshop for more than a century. Each one is assembled, finished and pressure tested by the same craftsmen before it leaves Frederiksberg, in solid brass that is cast in Italy and worked in Denmark. The designs have changed little because they did not need to: the Christiansborg fitting was made for the rebuilt palace after the fire of 1884, the SP handle was engineered for Gentofte Hospital in 1935, and both are still in production today.
Emerson Bailey has been TONI Copenhagen's partner in the United States since 2022. We keep the collection on display in our Bozeman gallery, hold finish samples and hardware to handle, and manage ordering, import and delivery for private clients, designers and architects across the country.
The story
A fitting for a palace. The Christiansborg faucet takes its name from the Danish parliament building, rebuilt after the fire of 1884 and fitted with brass taps from the Auchenberg workshop between 1905 and 1928. Relaunched in 1985 with its red and blue indicator buttons, it went straight into Amalienborg, the royal residence, and remains the signature of the house.
Made for hard use. In 1935 the engineer Otto Sparre-Petersen designed a fitting robust enough for Gentofte Hospital. His initials gave the SP handle its name, and by 1965 TONI had supplied fifteen thousand of them to Copenhagen's new Rigshospitalet. The SP Elbow, a long lever worked with the forearm, followed. These are fittings designed to be used thousands of times a day and repaired rather than replaced.
Architects' hardware. Henning Larsen specified TONI's cross handle for the Foreign Ministry in Riyadh in 1984 and returned to the brand for the Glyptotek extension in 1996. Knud Holscher's T-Line of 1981 sits in the permanent collection of Die Neue Sammlung in Munich. In 2024 Bjarke Ingels Group designed DÉCA, the first new TONI fitting in forty years, for its own Copenhagen headquarters.
Still a workshop. Since 2021 TONI has worked from a small back house on Lykkesholms Allé in Frederiksberg, where every fitting is built, finished and tested by hand. Apart from a short lived factory abroad in the 1990s, TONI has always been made in Copenhagen.
Repaired, not replaced. TONI's Vintage Repair Shop takes in old TONI fittings, some after decades of service, and refurbishes them in the same Frederiksberg workshop so they go back to work for years more. For more than a century the house has held that a good fitting is repaired rather than thrown away, and it is the part of the story we like best. Ask us about refurbishing a TONI piece you already own.

Finishes
Burnished brass darkens with use and handling, so no two pieces age alike. Care: follow TONI's maintenance instructions. Installation guides and data sheets come with your quote. See also TONI's finishes page.
How ordering works
Send us the model, finish, quantity, the project and the delivery address. We confirm price, lead time and delivery in a written quote that includes freight and import, so there are no surprises later. Orders are placed on deposit with the balance before shipment, and we work with your plumber on rough in requirements and installation details.
Every TONI fitting carries TONI's two year product warranty and a five year functional warranty on the ceramic and thermostatic cartridges. Any claim comes through Emerson Bailey as the point of sale, and we handle it with the workshop for you.
Code and certification
TONI Copenhagen fixtures hold European approvals, including KIWA and RISE certification, with mechanical testing to EN 817, EN 1111, and EN 200. Wetted alloys are on the EU 4MS drinking water list, and the fixtures have a 5 bar pressure rating, approximately 72 psi. They are not currently listed with a US certifying body.
US code and installation requirements vary by location, product, and intended application. Installations in the United States, including California, are handled project by project with the client's plumber, typically with a compliant mixing valve upstream and flow restrictors at the fixture. The current certificates are below for your architect, plumber or inspector; technical drawings and installation guides come with your quote.
TONI's Elements collection, the boiling and filtered water kitchen taps, is approved for Denmark only. TONI does not supply it for the United States and Emerson Bailey does not offer it.
Certificates
Each certificate lists the model numbers it covers, the standard the products were tested to and its expiry date. All are issued to TONI Copenhagen A/S, Frederiksberg.

The TONI collection is on display at Emerson Bailey, 109 E. Oak St., Suite 1C, Bozeman, Montana, with finish samples and hardware to handle. Designers and architects are welcome to bring clients; we are happy to walk through the mechanism, the finishes and how the pieces are specified.
We are putting working TONI faucets and showers into the Bozeman gallery and into a second showroom, so you can turn the handles and feel the weight of the mechanism in person. Ask us what is installed when you plan a visit.
