Responding to the rising demand for traditional country-style and classic-contemporary kitchens, Franke has introduced the new Heritage Collection of classically-designed taps and accessories.
Merging modern manufacturing technologies with timeless design elements, the Heritage Collection comprises seven tap styles, including four new Gloriana Classic models. These span twin lever, side lever, 3 part-set and bridge lever designs in new Polished Nickel, Brass and Decor Steel. The complementing Perla Pull Out Rinse and Augusta Soap Dispenser are available in the three finishes as well as Chrome.
Distinguishing features of the Heritage Collection include ceramic handles, vintage scrolls in the plinth and aerator styling meticulously crafted to complement the bevelling found in classic cabinetry.
A highlight of the collection is the new Polished Nickel finish, which combines a bright silver base with signature pale gold undertones to add a distinctive warmth and luxury to any kitchen. This finish is available across all taps in the Heritage collection. The new Polished Nickel finish has also been added to the Cotswold, Orlando and Gloriana taps from Franke’s existing portfolio.
The new Gloriana Classic taps exude an elegant Edwardian aesthetic with white ceramic handles. They are joined by the existing twin lever Gloriana model with its elegant swan neck design, the Orlando tap, with its clean, classic design and the Cotswold tap with its exquisite antique detailing.
To complete the look, the Heritage Collection’s classically styled accessories include the handy Perla Pull-Out Rinse and the 500ml capacity Augusta Soap Dispenser.
Jo Sargent, sales and marketing director at Franke UK, said: "The Heritage Collection gives us a more rounded portfolio and enables us to meet rising demand for classic designs in today's kitchens. While Franke is renowned for our contemporary taps with modern technologies, we're pleased to integrate these innovations into more traditional styles. This collection represents a harmonious blend of timeless elegance and modern craftsmanship, offering homeowners a range of elegant solutions that perfectly suit both traditional and classic-contemporary kitchens.
“This expansion provides retailers with a broader range of options to meet diverse customer preferences and tap into the growing market for classic designs.”
