The four faucet styles in BLANCO’s newest collection, EMPRESSA, are designed both to recall the manufacturer’s German origins and heritage and to combine classic design with modern features.
Each of the EMPRESSA faucets is modeled after the shapes of vintage European wine presses. The Bridge Faucet, the Semi-Professional Faucet, and the Kitchen Faucet feature a pull-down dual spray, which eliminates the need for a side spray fixture. The fourth style, the Bar Faucet, features a steam spray.
“The EMPRESSA Collection exemplifies on-trend design while paying homage to BLANCO’s European heritage,” states Tim Maicher, director of marketing for BLANCO. “The detailing in each handle connects with the winemaking tradition of BLANCO’s home region in Germany, while the versatile styling and functional features reinforce our continuing passion for excellence and innovation. This transitional series is a perfect fit for modern farmhouse style, with four versatile styles and new finishes that coordinate with any kitchen design.”
Two new finishes, Polished Nickel and Oil Rubbed Bronze, will debut alongside the EMPRESSA collection, which is also available in Stainless Finish and Polished Chrome. A matching soap dispenser is also available. The collection will be available for sale this month, starting at MSRP $545 for a Bar Faucet in Polished Chrome. blancoamerica.com
