New Taps Bring Kitchen Innovation
New kitchen taps bring innovation and style to home design with functional elements and sustainable features like Franke’s Pescara models.

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 and the J Pull-Down, uniting professional performance, exceptional functionality and sustainable design in a solid stainless steel finish.
The Semi Pro model 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 delivers crystal 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.
Franke’s renewed Pescara Taps series offers the perfect balance of sculptural design and professional performance that transforms the kitchen into a space of wellbeing.
Amie Gee, marketing manager at Franke UK, says: “Taps are no longer functional accessories, they have become design statements in their own right that reflect individuality and style.

“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 raise everyday routines into moments of joy”
As people spend more time in their kitchens, the importance of design and functionality has become increasingly important, and the Pescara tap series is a response to this trend, offering a unique combination of style and performance that can enhance the overall kitchen experience, creating a kitchen design that is both personal and timeless.
