Franke unveils the renewed Pescara Taps series: a perfect balance of sculptural design and professional performance that transforms the kitchen into a space of well-living.
The modern kitchen has evolved far beyond a place for cooking, it’s a space where creativity flows through food preparation and style makes a statement. In this setting, taps are no longer just functional elements but essential parts of design and daily comfort.
Recognising this evolution, Franke has developed two new Pescara tap models, the Semi-Pro (pictured) and the J Pull-Down uniting professional performance, exceptional functionality and sustainable design in a solid stainless steel finish.
The Semi Pro model (pictured) is built from premium stainless steel and features a slim, refined handle which houses an extremely small 25mm cartridge for precision control, while a laminar aerator in the spout deliverscrystal clear, non-splashing water stream with very low noise. The flexible hose offers dual spray options, with a reach ideal for rinsing round bowls and helping with food prep, smoothly docking and held securely into its magnetic holder.
Says Amie Gee, marketing manager at Franke UK:
“Taps are no longer functional accessories, they have become design statements in their own right that reflect individuality and style. Our new Pescara tap series responds to that delivering next level convenience and assured performance to the home.”
“The Pescara range combines easily with our sinks in stainless steel, as well as textured Fragranite colours achieving a seamless design dialogue across the kitchen. Our aim is to offer designers and consumers the freedom to enjoy spaces where elegance meets performance, and where every detail creates a high-end environment that is both personal and timeless.”
Aurelien Garet, Global Category Head Taps further commented:
“At Franke Home Solutions, we see the kitchen as the soul of the home – a place where design should inspire and functionality should empower. With the new Pescara range, we’ve transformed the tap into far more than a fixture. It is now a signature element of lifestyle that combines elegant profiles with innovative features that elevate everyday routines into moments of joy”
