Sculptural presence

The popularity for open-plan living areas that encompass the kitchen has placed a greater emphasis on the visual appeal of utilitarian items such as tapware. Their sculptural form can have a key influence on the scheme, especially if the washing up or food preparation area is contained within a central island.

In this kitchen, the X-Trend Entertainer tap from Foreno is in a pivotal position amidst the vast granite benchtop. Its curvaceous spout provides a flexible water delivery that is suitable for both meal preparation and cleaning up afterwards.

Located in an upmarket holiday rental property, the X-Trend tap fits into an interior resplendent with quality products and materials. In addition to its visual appeal, the tap is designed to last the rigours of the daily wear and tear.

The tap is part of the Foreno's Newform Architectural range, which matches the company's Italian-inspired designs with a product created especially for New Zealand homes. All tapware in this range comes with a five-year warranty.

Since 1969 Foreno has been designing and manufacturing tapware tailored for local plumbing conditions. The company's practical innovations include longer tailpipes and O-ring seals.
