Franke has recently unveiled its newest Absinthe line of kitchen faucets, which encompasses six styles available in four finishes – polished chrome, polished nickel, satin nickel, and the new matte black finish.
All Absinthe faucets feature sleek designs and wide swivel ranges. All but one of the faucet styles feature a water-saving 1.75 GPM flow rate. “Absinthe is sculpted to bring a level of functional elegance to the kitchen that elevates any design aesthetic,” says Lars Christensen, VP Product Development & Innovation. “Whether you’re completing a professional, contemporary or traditional look, the Absinthe line offers a perfect complement to your sense of style.”
The 1-Hole Faucet with Side Spray features a high-arch of 8.5 inches, a double-level handle, a locking-spray function, and full and needle-spray streams. The Pull-Down Faucet also features a high arch and dual spray streams, plus a pull-out spray hose with a toggle spray function. The Pull-Out Faucet is the most compact of the Absinthe designs, with a single-lever handle and 110-degree swivel range.
The Wall Mount Pot Filler Faucet is a unique kitchen feature, with a spout swivel range of 180 degrees and a 2.2 GPM flow rate. Both the Prep Faucet and the Bar Faucet have high-arch spouts and single-lever handles. The Bar Faucet’s spout is slightly shorter at 5.5 inches, and includes only a full-spray stream, while the Prep Faucet includes a pull-out spray hose.
Prices range from an MSRP of $425 for the Absinthe Kitchen Bar Faucet with a polished chrome finish to an MSRP of $835 for the Absinthe 1-Hole Faucet with Side Spray in matte black, polished nickel, or satin nickel. www.franke.us/ks
